Bandicam makes it possible for you to record action on your PC screen whether it be gaming, creating screencasts or making tutorials.
Bandicam works with games or programs that use DirectX or OpenGL for graphics which includes the vast majority of games on PC such as Skyrim, Minecraft and WOW etc.
The good thing about Bandicam is that it can record high quality videos but compress them so that the file size is relatively small for HQ video when you want to upload it to YouTube. For this reason, Bandicam is becoming increasingly popular with gamers that want to show-off their gaming skills and favorite moments such as this example from World of Warcraft:
Bandicam is fairly easy to use although there are a lot of framerate settings and preferences that may intimidate you at first. The easiest thing is capturing video though - you simply target the Bandicam snapshot tool over the Window you want to capture and hit record. Bandicam supports MPEG-1 (including VBR mode), Xvid and MJPEG video codecs, PCM and MPEG-1 Layer II audio codecs and videos in AVI format. It also allows uploading of still frames in BMP, PNG and JPEG format. Recordings created in Bandicam can be uploaded directly to YouTube in a highly compressed file. You can upload to YouTube in 720p and 1080p full HD videos. The highest resolution possible is 2560x1600 pixels and you can also record over 24 hours continuously with Bandicam although obviously, you won't be able to upload a video of that length to YouTube.
The main problem you may experience with Bandicam is lag when creating screencasts. This can be due to a variety of reasons and the developers have put together a useful troubleshooting guide to overcome such problems. One tip is simply to change the codec setting you're using from MPEG-1 to Xvid for example. Note that in the unregistered version of Bandicam, a watermark will be shown on the recorded video and the recording time will be limited. If you purchase and register Bandicam, you can use it for an unlimited time, without watermarks and record for up to 24 hours.
