Question / Help Local recording settings.

I've been looking over how to make high quality local recordings from the guides and the occasional youtube guides but whatever settings I use I seem to have these two problems.
1. Can't be edited in Sony Vegas (Have to jump onto Premier and I'm not really comfortable with it)
2. No matter how I set the bittrate to (ie. 3000), when I play in fullscreen, the quality seems bad / choppy.

Does anyone have any great local recording settings that they have been using?
I record using two devices.
My desktop : i7-4770k + 16GB RAM + GTX 660ti
Laptop: i7-3630QM + 8GB + GT 650M.

Any settings that will produce high quality videos (720p min ~ 1080p max) that you have, I am willing to try out.

Thanks!

The trick for high quality local recording is to set the bitrate to 0 (zero) and only rely on the quality setting. Set it to Quality 10 and max. bitrate 0. This way, the encoder doesn't care for the bitrate at all and uses up as much as required to get the configured quality.
If your cpu usage goes up too much this way, stick at bitrate 0 and simply choose a lower x264 preset (superfast or even ultrafast). When your bitrate is set to 0, changing the preset doesn't change the quality of your recording at all! Te only change you will see is that the video file on disk gets the larger the lower your set the preset and the cpu usage is lower. The video quality is all the same.

I've tried everything as stated in the guides and what you guys have recommended but I'm still encountering problems.
My game (League of Legends) runs 200fps with no lag, but when I record games the output is really laggy (0 strain on the cpu idk what the problem is) and it still won't run in vegas D:
