Bandicam problems

[mistertheloaf]

I use Bandicam to capture live video. I typically capture a lot of short videos, weed out the ones I don't want, and then use Bandicut to join them into one video. Most of the time it works OK -- BUT:

(a) Videos captured by Bandicam often have wildly varying bit-rates and frame-rates, even though I never change the settings and use the same exact settings all the time. This makes joining videos with Bandicut slow and difficult because it has to re-encode them.

(b) Occasionally Bandicam generates a video that is corrupt and unplayable. It happened to me today. This is REALLY bad because I'm capturing live video. I've got one shot and if the video is no good there is no second chance. It doesn't happen very often, but it shouldn't happen at all. I've got a fast, powerful computer, fast Internet connection, and the video is saved to a separate hard-drive dedicated solely for video capture.

Very disappointing.

Hello mistertheloaf,

1.
If you would like to record with a fixed bitrate and framerate, we recommend using the CBR (Constant Bitrate) and CFR (Constant Framerate) options.


VFR (Variable Frame Rate) vs. CFR (Constant Frame Rate)

2.
If Bandicam is abnormally terminated while recording due to power outage or other issues, open the output folder, and double-click the .bfix file in the output folder.
The broken .MP4 file will be repaired by BandiFix automatically.

Also, we recommend the H264(CPU) codec for the stable recording.

Thank you.
