I mean like what HyperCam does, but actually good... hypercam is a piece of laggy crap
i also need it to NOT lag while screen-recording an MMO (this'll be a hard part o.o)
You need faster RAM.
What is MMO anyway?
If you are producing a TAS, you don't need to care about computer / program speed; the end result is the same regardless of the speed it was created with.
The same applies for creating AVIs when you use the emulators' built in functions.
Also, your choice of thread title is bad. Do not start a sentence in topic and end in the post; one should be able to discern the post topic by reading only the topic title in the topic list. Please edit your post to comply.

is 0.98 GB of RAM not enough?
and I dont make tases... they're fun to watch, but you guys only accept perfection, something i'm not capable of =/
and... to the last, whats the point of making a post if the topic title says it all? the "^title^" stuff is like... lmfao annoying

I addressed that question in detail in this post.
The purpose of the thread title is not to deprive people from information, hoping that curiosity wins. Smart people will ignore that kind of tricks, leaving only the stupid and the bored.
The purpose is to provide information, so that 1) those who are interested of that particular topic, can determine whether they are interested of the contents of the actual post or not, when they're browsing a list of dozens of topics and 2) those who are searching for information can find it.
Fraps seems to be a popular choice. Only records in full screen modes, though.
fraps lags unbearably.
and also, it's my PC that says "0.98 GB of Ram" so no need to come off as elitists... not the good kind either.
HDD I/O? english PLEASE

GB (gigabyte) is an unit of capacity.
I wrote "faster", not "more".
You need an unit of speed, such as Hertz. (And it must the memory speed, not the processor speed, though processor speed helps too.)
Also, you still have not fixed the topic title like I asked.
Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz
2.99GHZ, 0.98 GB of ram
is what my PC says in the system thing in control panel
and you didnt tell me _what_ to put in the topic title... lol hope this works
since iam using fraps longtime now, G hertz and or RAM wont help that much..
to run fraps or similar things properly you need:
- decent ram/ghz for the game performance while running the third party programm
- very very very fast harddisk
- and for the best results record the video on a harddisk seperated from your OS
okay lemme respond to those:
(Hard disk = hard drive? lol, how does a hard drive get faster?)
[in response to the first of yours, evilchen]: um... i hope my pc is good :D
[in response to the 2nd]: o_o harddisk is hard-drive so... how does a harddrive get fast?
[in response to the last]:well I got a few hard-drives, so I'd be a fool to use anything on the same drive as my os
Calling those who actually answered your question elitists, then responding to them in such a manner? How unbearably sweet of you. And mind you, Bisqwit also asked what MMO is, but did it politely.
To answer the question, HDD = hard disk drive, I/O = input/output (speed). It's affected by the amount of applications reading/writing to the disk at the moment, the fragmentation of data on it, and other possible reasons. Also, by "few harddrives", you mean few actual physical devices? Because otherwise it won't matter if you run everything from the same disk as your OS or not, and performance will suffer.

Much better. Generally, the topic title is supposed to briefly indicate the topic of the discussion started in the first post.
For example, in a discussion that talks about cats' mad hours, the topic could be for example, "cats' mad hours". Or in a discussion that seeks to resolve a problem relating to frobnicator v4.3 randomly crashing when the screensaver starts, the topic title could be "frobnicator v4.3 crashes randomly when screensaver starts".
A good topic title consists of less than ten words, most of which are relevant to the topic, and identifies the discussion topic uniquely, in a manner that it can later be found, if one needs to, with a quick search without having to wade through every thread.

Theoretically, the maximum speed of a Parallel ATA drive (gray ribbon cable) is it's designation in MB/s (ATA-66, ATA-100, etc.).
Serial ATA drives have transfer rates up to 3GB/s.

That's the maximum speed of an interface, though, not a drive itself. Drive speed is limited by platter density, amount of revolutions per second, and other things.

OTOH, to be fair, it's usually much easier (and cheaper) to upgrade the amount of memory than its speed. Sometimes you can replace a memory chip with a faster one, but quite rarely. More often than not, if you need faster memory you will have to buy a new motherboard which has a faster memory bus and supports the faster memory. Of course buying a new motherboard is only a little less than buying a whole new computer. Thus it's usually unreasonable to expect anyone to even be able to upgrade the speed of the computer's memory without actually buying a new computer (or at least a new motherboard+CPU).
Anyways, RAM speed can indeed have a quite drastic effect on things like real-time video capture. I think you have some first-hand experience on this? Just the memory type can make the difference between barely being able to capture 20FPS and being able to capture 60FPS without problems, even if the entire rest of the hardware is identical.
