Bandicam

Bandicam: A powerful recording tool for games, videos and desktop

Bandicam is a comprehensive recording tool that’s perfect for recording games, videos and your computer’s desktop. Besides delivering high quality videos, their file size is much smaller than what you get with other recording applications.

Also, Bandicam is optimized for low CPU usage, so you can capture streaming videos even on lower-end or older machines. As the program includes support for AVI 2.0 OpenDML extensions you can record clips of unlimited size, given there’s enough free hard disk space to store them.

There are 2 modes provided in Bandicam. The first one is the ‚DirectX/OpenGL window’ mode – you can use it to record DirectX or OpenGL argets. The seconf one is the ‚Rectangle on a screen’ mode, that you can use to record area-based video captures on your computer’s screen.

The FPS is shown in the corner of the screen, but only during recoding in the ‚DirectX/OpenGL window’ mode. There’s a large number of codecs supported – both video, such as MPEG-1, Xvid and YV12 among others and audio, like PCM and MPEG-1 L2.

The application can record videos using little system resources, so the impact on your desktop applications and video games remains minimal. Recorded videos can have resolutions up to 2560x1600 and for modern machines you can capture videos at HD resolutions, 720p and 1080p included.

You can also use Bandicam to grab screenshots in popular formats like PNG, JPEG and BMP.
