Linux Problem with playback of recorded videos

A few days ago, I barely knew what Linux was. But when I installed Linux Mint, Most of the stuff was wonderful; It was not the case of screen recording.

I first wanted to record with OBS, using pretty good quality and with MP4 as output format. I recorded what I wanted to record, but when I saw the recording, there were black flashings in different parts of the screen, and the interface also dissappeared and re-appeared like in flashings.

"Strange" I said. So, I used much lower quality and MKV as output format. I had the same result.

"Then the software is wrong" I thought. So I installed Simple Screen Recorder. Tried with all the different settings, but, even if it was much less glitchy, I was still getting the same glitches.

So I tried with Kazam. No different results.

"It must be the media player" I said. So, I tried with VLC, and even with YouTube, but there was no difference.

I uploaded an example glitched recording to YouTube, you can see it by going here: EDIT: I am not allowed to post URLs.

I will also leave the message that the terminal sent me after writing the command Inxi-Fxzd:

I do not know for sure. My first guess is hardware <-> driver issues

Code:
Graphics: Card: Intel 4th Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller

This graphics hardware is very far toward the low cost end of the spectrum, typically the stuff I've seen has been created on a better hardware foundation. Frequently with Linux, if the hardware is new or for low end systems, the driver tends to be buggy.
