Bandicam can't initialize codec.

[MashedPotatoWarrior]

I'm trying to record Half-Life with Bandicam, but every time I try to click Record, It gives me an error saying "Failed to initialize codec." I'm using an H264 CPU (I don't know if that sucks, just I can't get a new one right now.). My quality is 80 and FPS 60. I also have full screen enabled. For my audio I have 48.0KHz, stereo, and 192kbps. I'm recording in an mp4 format, as Vegas Pro doesn't support avi. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. (I'm a relative noob. :p) Plz send halp.

Hi MashedPotatoWarrior,

Sorry for the late response.

It might be a problem with the graphics driver.
First, uninstall the graphics driver completely.


And then, please install the latest version of the graphics driver and try recording again.

If it doesn't seem to help, please let us know if you have the same issue when recording with other codecs like Xvid in AVI container.

Thank you.
