After testing a few I think Bandicam is my favorite. I plan on recording my videos in 720p since 1080p just isn't worth it IMO for the HDD space and I'm assuming recording at a lower resolution also saves processing power. So here's my question:
I recorded a video in 720p using Motion JPEG then edited it in Sony Vegas. I exported it as a maximum quality .mp4 using the Internet Video 720p option and uploaded to YouTube. The file on my HDD looks pretty darn good, but I feel in 720p on YouTube it doesn't look that great, see here: http://youtu.be/558ubV7wFQk?hd=1
Now the thing is, I've seen other 720p videos on YouTube that look great so I know YouTube compresses it but they don't all come out looking weird. Any advice? What do you think?
