two different recordings at once or 2 instances of bandicam

Wed Sep 17, 2014 10:19 pm

Hi,

I would like to be able to use Bandicam to record 2 different streams at once. One in rectangle mode and another in DirectX.

At the moment I am doing so with another software, running the game in one screen with Bandicam recording it and a second screen with the virtual keyboard to show my viewers in Youtube the keystrokes I use and being recorded by another software as Bandicam doesnt have this feature and doesnt allow but one instance.

I think that now that you managed to get the webcamera as an overlay you have already the algorithm ready to implement more uses for it, like this one. Not to have the webcam only as target, but any other window running another program.

If it overlays... well, would be the heaven, but if it has to be in a separated stream I would be happy too as I could use my editing software to put both of them together.

What do you think?

Hi,

Go to your Bandicam folder, and copy&paste your Bandicam folder as shown below:

Now, you can use more than 2 instances of Bandicam.

Hi,

I did as you said but once the 2nd is launched I get an error that in English should be something like "Bandicam failed starting".

Still both instances open and configuring different keys for start/finish recording I was able to start both. But when trying to stop only one of them did, the first instance working in DirectX seemed to stop too, but if trying to play its video the file appeared as still in use by some application.

Sorry but this system is just a workaround, that probably could work with some minor changes (like the place where Bandicam stores settings, as later first instance can remember how the second one was set up). But in the way it is now is fairly complex and not reliable at all.
