Auto Full Screen Recording, bandicam

Tip 1) Record the computer screen every hour

If you use the " Auto Complete Recording" function, you can set a video file to be created every hour.
Tip 2) Best settings for recording many hours

1) AVI is better than the MP4 container when Bandicam is abnormally terminated due to power outage and other issues while recording.

2) If you have a problem with hardware-accelerated video codecs such as H264 (Intel Quick Sync Video, NVIDIA NVENC or AMD VCE/VCN), try the H264 (CPU) video codec.

3) To reduce the file size of the video, you can choose from the options below:
- Change the video size from "Full size" to "Half size" (Optional)
- Change the FPS (frames per second) value from "30" to "10" (Optional)
- Select the "H264" video codec (Recommended)
- Change the Quality value from "80" to "10" (Optional)
- Uncheck the "Record sound" option (Optional)
Tip 3) Power & sleep settings

If you want to record your computer for a long duration, select the "Never" option in "Power & sleep settings" to keep your monitor on, which is optimal.
