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 is much bigger than MPEG-1/XVID (The file size is bigger than YV12). The video quality is 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 is much bigger than MPEG-1/XVID (The file size is smaller than RGB24). The video quality is 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 will be an ideal codec for most users who want to edit the recorded streaming video in Sony Vegas (or Adobe Premiere Editor). So you can edit the recorded video easily. Motion JPEG (M-JPEG or MJPEG) is a video format in which each video frame is a JPEG image, therefore, each frame is a keyframe, Motion JPEG (MJPEG): Best codec for video editing * Summary: If you want to get smaller videos than Xvid, choose " MPEG-1".Ĥ. (The quality of MPEG-1 is similar to Xvid.) The MPEG-1 codec offers a good quality of video and uses much less CPU than other codecs. Most media players and 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 usage than MPEG-1). So it will be one of the best video codecs for most users. Most CD/DVD players, Smartphones, SmartTVs and media players support the Xvid codec. 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) 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 much more system resources and the codec speed is much slower than others. The hardware-accelerated H.264 codec allows the 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
