Question / Help Lag during recording

[Miguel Melo]

Hello,

My issue is that my game doesn't lag but my recording/broadcasting does, so I'll just post my log and hope my pc is good enough for this.

Define 'lag'. A lot of people use that word to describe a lot of different things.

From your logfile, stop using MP3 audio. AAC is much better. Also, set up your webcam as a global source.

Okay, when I say lag I mean my recording preview and actual file stutters a lot but the actual game is running smootly, sometimes it goes down to a single FPS, even though it's just for a moment. The question now would be "is my laptop good enough for this?"

Yes, an i5 should be fine. If you're only recording (not streaming) use the guide here:

It will allow minimum impact, with highest quality recordings.
