Bandicam

From Bandisoft:

Bandicam is a high performance game recorder and desktop screen capture program. It's high quality and the recorded file size is extremely smaller than other screen capture software. It also, minimizes the CPU usage. As a result, you can save your hard disk space and CPU. Bandicam consists of 2 modes. One is the 'DirectX/OpenGL window' mode, which can be used to record the target created in DirectX (or OpenGL), and the other is the 'Rectangle on a screen' mode, which can be used for recording a certain area on the PC screen. Bandicam displays FPS numbers in the corner of the screen while it is active in the 'DirectX/OpenGL window' mode. Bandicam supports various video codecs (MPEG-1, Motion JPEG, Xvid, YV12, and RGB24) and audio codecs (MPEG-1 L2 and PCM). The Bandicam codec (Bandisoft MPEG-1 decoder) manages to capture videos with minimal impact on game (or other desktop applications) performance, as it has been optimized to achieve compression. The shareware version of Bandicam is identical to the registered commercial version, except for an Bandicam watermark at the top of every video, and each recorded video is limited to 10 minutes in length. Bandicam can record video at resolutions up to 2560x1600 in size. Bandicam is designed to be able to record video at HD resolutions on modern computers, including 720p (1280x720, 60 frame/s) and 1080p (1920x1080, 30 frame/s). Bandicam can take screenshots in various formats (BMP, JPEG, and PNG) and capture any desktop applications under Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista and Windows 7. Due to Bandicam supports AVI 2.0 OpenDML extensions the maximum clip size is unlimited as long as the local Hard Disk has free space available. Bandicam offers a free AVI recovery program, BandiFix, which can use for fixing a corrupted streaming video. The BandiFix program will also help recover other corrupted AVI files that are downloaded from the Internet.
