RE: Recording on gmod
Source Recorder. It's built in and you get max FPS no matter how you have your computer set up. Here's how to use it:
  1. When you're ready to record, open the console and type "record <moviename>" (of course replacing the <moviename> with whatever)
  2. When you're done recording, type stop.
  3. Exit to main menu and type "host_framerate 30"
  4. Now type "startmovie <moviename> avi". Yes a space not a dot. (Note: <moviename> does not have to be the same name as earlier)
  5. Choose your compressor of preference from the list
  6. Now finally type "playdemo <moviename>" (the same as earlier)
  7. Let it finish playing! Don't touch anything. It will be slow and have no sound, that's ok!
  8. When it finishes type "endmovie."
  9. Now the video is in your C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/yourname/garrysmod folder!


I know it sounds complicated at first but once you get the hang of it you can make perfect quality videos with no fps drops at all.

Here is a video I made comparing the popular "Fraps" recorder and Source recorder.

RE: Recording on gmod
What should i do if that happens? -solved
Code:
] record <test>
CDemoFile::Open: couldn't open file <test>.dem for writing.
Or is it recording? -solved

EDIT:
Do i need to have steam in online mode to start recording? -solved

EDIT:
Okay i have recorded it and found it in my (.../garrysmod/garrysmod/) folder.
When i try to play it using "Windows Media Player" or "Nero Showtime" it doesnt work, anything else i can play it with?

Download this and install, then when it asks you what compressor you want to use when you use "startmovie" pick Xvid.
