When I only record the first minutes of the video, it works fine, but when I record the whole 20 minutes, even the first minutes which worked previously are lagging (missing frames filled with still images).
The CPU is between 80 and 100% (cycling like waves) and the RAM looks good too.
Strangely enough, if I open the created file (while recording or if I click on "save recording" without pausing it), that video seems to run fine, but after stopping the recording the created video is laggy again (doesn't matter if I clicked on "save recording").
Pausing and shortly after that continuing the recording in the middle of the video seems to "fix" this issue as well.
Also, if a schedule option to save the recording would be added, this issue would not be that important any more. in my opinion.
I tried it again leaving the screen on and now it worked, so I think it maybe has to do with using a blackscreen (using the command /usr/bin/sleep 1 && /usr/bin/xset dpms force off) while recording?
