    "Better than fraps!"

    March 19, 2013  |   By StewieMonSta

    Version: Bandicam 1.8.6

    Pros

    - Fast upload to YouTube
    - Easy to use

    Cons

    - Performance killer when using on-board graphics in games

    Summary

    This software is better than fraps because the compression is much better and the FPS does not drop so low but still is a performance killer on on-board graphics when recording games.

    "USELESS recorder"

    July 8, 2012  |   By brainout

    Version: Bandicam 1.8

    Pros

    Simple interface

    Cons

    1. Unwanted toolbars are part of the default installation. BEWARE of them, lest you install them accidently.
    2. Installation is glitchy, and must be online. I had to do it twice, since the progress bar goes into a hang with no idea what's going on. But the play pause button was a nice touch.
    3. Can't configure codecs.
    4. Can't get rid of an overlay which shows you're recording.

    Summary

    Too-simple program for screen recording that won't let you configure Xvid. Limited codecs. Not even worth trying to use. But it offers sound recording and will allow your mouse to show. I didn't even bother to try these, since I can't configure Xvid.

    "It is okay with me"

    July 8, 2012  |   By Masqia

    Version: Bandicam 1.8

    Pros

    It reduces the file size for you which makes it youtube upload ready. There are option settings to choose from or if one prefers; to use presets. Supports past and present direct x. Less to no lag when recording in Mpeg-1.

    Cons

    There aren't many codecs to choose from, the best there is; is motion jpeg followed by Xvid. Motion Jpeg is suppose to be nice, but while I was testing it I found washed out colors pretty badly, there is lag and the file size is about the same as fraps. When using Mpeg-1 I can see not as good coloring as Fraps has it.

    "The best one out there!"

    March 7, 2012  |   By ZobmieRules

    Version: Bandicam 1.7.7.184

    Pros

    (For Paid Version)
    -MANY, MANY different options to choose from in terms of specific capture graphics, frame rate, video quality, audio quality, so other areas.
    -Very versitile
    -Doesn't lag you like FRAPS does.
    -Smaller file size than FRAPS.
    -A better free trial version than FRAPS.
    -Many file codecs.
    -Can upload straight to YouTube without conversion needed.
    -Can record your desktop itself!
    -Has custom ICONS available for videos.

    Cons

    -You have to buy it to get the most out of it... ($39)
    -Watermark at the top of the page. (Free version.)
    -10 minute recording limit. (Free version.)

    Summary

    I have NEVER found a more effecient and more effective recording software. If you have the money for it, BUY IT!!! IT'S WORTH IT.
    I especially recommend to buy it for people who really want options with their video recordings. Also, for people like "Let's Play"ers or those who will regularally USE the software.

    If you only need one video or you are not going to record videos that often, use the free version. (If you don't mind the watermark at the top of the page.)

    "It was the same old thing."

    December 13, 2011  |   By jonbravo2

    Version: Bandicam 1.7.4.157

    Pros

    It was free. (duh)
    I was able to play the game. (For about 20 seconds,)

    Cons

    Lagged too bad.
    Crashed my computer.
    Gave me a virus.
    Couldn't watch my own recordings.
    Was difficult to use.

    Summary

    I got excited when I saw it was FREE, but was quickly turned down when it lagged just as bad as every other program like this did. If you like the way it lags, and how you can't even watch the awesome footage you just recorded and lost for the rest of your life: this is the piece of crap for you.

    "Efficient and Effective"

    October 17, 2011  |   By Thothie

    Version: Bandicam 1.7.4.157

    Pros

    I love this thing! It's like having another soldier in the field!

    Way better than Fraps. Uses much less overhead, much less likely to have strange GL system conflicts, and actually uses some compression, so it won't fill your HD up so fast after recording for hours. The GUI operation is almost identical to Fraps, so it's easy to use as well.

    Cons

    'Lil pricey for something you aren't likely to use very often. But the shareware is fully functional, just the standard watermark.

    Summary

    Pwns FRAPS without Pwning your puter.

    "One of the best screen and game recorder"

    May 15, 2011  |   By Matrix_0

    Version: Bandicam 1.7.0.126

    Pros

    Reliable, easy to use, high quality and resolution, very low system resources used, high compresion, direct upload to YouTube without conversion.

    Cons

    Right now all is OK. Would be great to have more codecs to choose, but even so, the available codecs are very well balanced. (low resources needed, good compresion, high quality recordings)

    Summary

    In conclusion, it's a good, reliable and easy to use screen and game recorder.
