Here is an example showing two extracted frames, directly from the recordings of Bandicam's MJPEG (Top) and Afterburner's MJPEG (Bottom), comparing the two and how they work at this time: At that post, I merely include some tests and other analyses I did regarding quality and performance (for game recording purposes). If you wish to read that article, it can be found here: īut basically what I stated above (about the colors being maintained well) is the main point. I wrote an article about Afterburner, testing out it's MJPEG recording, with a game from the Hitman series, at my blog. I find that the MJPEG recorded with it has much 'deeper' contrast, where the black is nice and dark - it doesn't seem to mess with the colours too much. You do not need to own any MSI-manufactured hardware or anything, in your system. If I may offer a suggestion, I also use MSI's Afterburner, which seems to be another good capturing/recording utility and it is completely free.


Thanks for reminding me of this, I meant to bring it to the developer's attention in the past and totally forgot about bringing it up to them. I use Bandicam a lot - for almost everything, but there is something in how it utilizes MJPEG that seems to make things 'washed out' when I go to use the recordings later on. If I may pop in, I have also experienced what you are talking about, when using the MJPEG codec and Bandicam. The PC is a Core i7 3770, 8 GB, Nvidia 660GTX, Windows 8.1, Latest Nvidia driver 340.53 Just wondering if this issue happens on other computers. So it's something to do with the Motion JPEG file. Now, if I choose another video codec in Bandicam, I don't have this issue. Hopefully you can see that in the two second images the colours are somewhat off. But a soon as I drag it onto the timeline, they are off. The colours are fine in the media library. The Bandicam footage I capture as Motion JPEG. Reminds me of the 15-235 limited RGB colour issue that you sometimes stumble across. I notices that some of the videos are somewhat washed out, whites are a bit grey, blacks are not fully black. For others I capture with camcorders and through capture cards footage from other computers.

I use Bandicam for capturing desktop video footage for some of my videos.
