I'm currently testing video recording software for the easiest way to record and upload a video to YouTube. The following video isn't made for views, it's just settings that would enable someone to use so they could record and upload a video without a problem and quickly.

 

The Bandicam settings I used were:

 

Video
1. Frame: 720p
2. FPS: 30
3. Codec: MPEG-1
4. Quality: 80

Audio
1. Channels: Stereo
2. Frequency: 44100
3. Codec: MPEG-1 L2
4. Bitrate: 128

 

The video size is 895mb, the length is 15m42s and the YouTube upload time is 2h10m.

 

If anyone has an easier way to record and upload videos with better quality at a faster upload plate please leave a post in this thread. I attempted to try Fraps, but a 20 minute video would result in a 6+ hour upload, which is not worth uploading and testing.

 

 

Looks Good! I use Bandicam and 15 minutes is over 1GB for me. I wouldn't recommend FRAPS unless you have a really fast Upload speed because 10 minutes was 2GB for me.

Obviously you reduce it's size after with programs like VurtualDub, or you really going to upload Gigs of stuff? >_>

How?

All you have to do is import it to Windows Live Movie Maker then save movie, that alone will reduce the size.

How much will it reduce the size? And will any quality be lost?

I have one video that is 1.79 GB directly from Bandicam, after editing it in Movie Maker (none of the video was actually removed), the final project is 344 MB. I saved it in 1080p.

What codecs and bitrate did you use, as well as how you saved the video in Movie Maker?

Recording settings:

 

In Movie Maker, I use Widescreen aspect ratio. To save it, I open the file menu (I guess, it's the blue button on the top left in the one that comes with Windows 7) - Save movie - High Definition (1080p)

 

Here's the video I made that I mentioned before
