lets keep this short and sweet
cpu - intel i7 4771

hdd write speed 180mb (I dont use the same drive to play with the game)
codecc - lagarith lossless or openencodeVFM

so, its done this rather recently, and I know its something with dxtory because fraps records 60FPS just fine
but do you have any idea why it does this? I record EVERYTHING else just fine at 60FPS+ but minecraft. As you can clearly see im far from over loading my machine in anysense of the word, so it should not be running this poorly
Do I need to downgrade my drivers or something?
Should I just use a different program to record with that gives me amazing options like dxtory does (I mainly care about it recording audio separately so I dont have to)
 
Solution
Minecraft, being completely Java as far as I know, has some weird quirks to the graphics engine. I have had some pretty weird glitches with it before so it doesn't surprise me that you would have a problem like that.
Firstly I would try just changing some video settings inside minecraft, just play around with them and see if that works. If not..I would just use a different program,

ya...... even turning everything down gives me the same results (low render distance default window mode ect) gives the same results, i would gladly switch to another program if it could split audio, or some equivalent
 


Unfortunately I don't know any other programs off the top of my head. Maybe somebody else can chime in..
