It's pretty normal that you cannot playback the videos. You need to convert them to compressed format for that.

No, it is AVI format and you can play it with Windows Media Player.

The reason for inability to playback is not because the format is unknown, but rather because the bitrate is too high for any PC to decode it fast enough. Even my i5-2500k @ 4.3 GHz cannot do it.

I can play back the videos right after i record them it's just that the game play isn't smooth.

How do you know it's the gameplay that's not smooth and not the playback? Did you try compressing the videos before viewing them?

Well im not sure if it is or not but wheni record it at 30fps i still have around 55, and i used handbrake to compress the video file.
