BANDICAM SCREEN RECORDER PRO

* Summary: If you want to reduce the file size and get the best sound quality, choose ' AAC.' 2. Most video editing programs such as Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere, and Pinnacle Studio support the AAC audio codec. AAC audio codec: Best codec for most usersĪdvanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a lossy audio compression format that generally offers higher-quality sound than an MP3 while using the same amount of disk space, or less. The table below shows the file sizes when Bandicam records a 1920x1080 resolution video for one minute. You need a high-end computer to use an external codec because most external codecs use many more system resources than Bandicam's internal codecs. If you want to get better quality videos or make smaller videos, you could try the option in Bandicam. * Summary: If you want to get the best quality videos, try ' RGB24.' However, the file size will be much bigger than MPEG-1/XVID (and bigger than YV12). The video quality will be better than MPEG-1/XVID because RGB24 doesn’t compress the video. RGB24: Best quality video codec (lossless) * Summary: If you want to get the best quality videos, try ' YV12.'Ħ.

However, the file size will be much bigger than MPEG-1/XVID (the file size will be smaller than RGB24). The video quality will be better than MPEG-1/XVID because YV12 doesn’t compress the video. YV12: Best quality video codec (lossless) * Summary: If you want to edit the recorded video with a video editing program, choose ' Motion JPEG.'ĥ.

Motion JPEG is an ideal codec for most users who want to edit a recorded streaming video in Vegas Pro or Adobe Premiere Editor. In other words, each frame is a keyframe, allowing you to edit the recorded video easily. Motion JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video format in which each video frame is a JPEG image. Motion JPEG (MJPEG): Best codec for video editing * Summary: If you want to get smaller videos than Xvid, choose ' MPEG-1.'Ĥ. The MPEG-1 codec offers good video quality and uses much less CPU than other codecs (The quality of MPEG-1 is similar to that of Xvid). Most media players, including YouTube, support the MPEG-1 codec. MPEG-1: Better compression ratio than Xvid MPEG-1 is the most widely compatible, lossy audio/video format in the world. * Summary: If you can't choose the H.264 encoder in Bandicam, choose ' Xvid.'ģ. The Xvid codec is faster than MPEG-1 (Xvid uses lower CPU than MPEG-1). Most CD/DVD players, smartphones, smart TVs, and media players support the Xvid codec, making it one of the best video codecs for most users. Xvid: Best codec for most users Xvid is used in many other applications/hardware and has gained great popularity.

* Summary: If you can choose H.264 encoder in Bandicam, choose ' H.264.'Ģ. The speed of hardware accelerated H.264 codec (Nvidia® NVENC, Intel® Quick Sync video, AMD VCE/VCN) may be faster than Motion JPEG with high performing computers. However, the hardware accelerated H.264 codec solves the issue with the codec speed. Usually, the H.264 codec is not suitable for real-time video recording because it uses many more system resources and the codec speed is much slower than others. The hardware-accelerated H.264 codec allows users to record the target with high speed, high compression ratio, and excellent quality. Hardware accelerated H.264 codec (GPU): Best codec for advanced users H.264 may be faster than Motion JPEG with high performing computers.ġ.Comparison of codec speed: RGB24 (Fastest) > YV12 > Motion JPEG > Xvid > MPEG-1 (Normal).Better compression rate than H.264 for the same picture quality
