Bandicam Help

[MarioFalloutFan]

Can you please tell me how to have bandicam record full screen games? When i try to record a full screen game, it records a black screen? Help? Please?

Probably not the best area to post this, not wrong, but you'll get more suitable exposure on one of the technical help type forums.

Try Fraps. I don't make videos myself, but I know most of the good youtube vids are made with Fraps or SFM in the case of Valve games.

I know Bandicam will NOT work for Oblivion. Works fine for Skyrim and FONV. If not playing Oblivion, try this:

Under the "Video" tab is "settings" below "Format" on the right side. Make sure the setting is "Full Size".

Also, make sure Bandicam is running before you start the game...no using Tab to exit game to bring

it up and starting it.

Fraps (unregistered) limits you to about 60 second vids. I have two vids on my profile using Bandicam,

lasting about 5 mins each and I never registered it. Hope you can get it working.

Just use Fraps, its easier and more functional as if records whats on the screen, not the information sent to the screen. You do have to buy the full edition, which was a pain in the rear, otherwise you can only record for 60seconds at a time

May want to take a look at Open Broadcast Software.

I've seen a few people who stream use it, and they seem mostly happy with the results. Supposedly it not only allows streaming, but also recording.

 

The one thing that has always irked me with FRAPs is the fact that recorded video is always an insanely large file size that you then have to re-render and compress down over the course of several hours, usually losing a good deal of quality in the process. Almost makes the software itself virtually worthless unless you have a rendering farm or secondary hard-drive just to store raw video on.

 

*edit*did a short test with OBS, once setup it actually works pretty and outputs directly into a mp4 or streaming service of your choice. Has separate volume controls, scene switching, overlays, and lots of other stuff. File size for a ~20m video was actually pretty good.
