All I had open was my game, Bandicam and one tab on a web browser playing music. Unfortunately in a 6 minutes and 14 second video there was some jerkiness happening. 6 minute plus video will create a 1.56GB or so video, so yes if you want to make long videos you will have to compress depending on the game anyway.

With MPEG-1 VBR Quality 100 is a safe setting to work with. Even if the setting is on Quality 80 and below lag is still strong as well as washed or faded like color. While Bandicam is good for people who want options, I discovered when using motion-jpeg it creates a lot of lag and the file size is in gigabyte. Watermark overlay, 10 minute recording limit. Bandicam can also be used to record or capture regular desktop activity within a designated screen area. Other features include auto-capture (take a screenshot every X seconds), optional FPS overlay, FPS management, on-the-fly video compression, support for large resolutions, and unlimited recording times due to support for AVI 2.0 OpenDML extensions. Still captures can be saved in BMP, JPG and PNG format. Bandicam supports different recording formats, including MPEG-1, Xvid and MJPEG video as well as several presets that let you convert your recordings for YouTube, Divx Player, Edit Premiere and specific height/width requirements. You can capture individual snapshots or record the entire action with the press of a keyboard hotkey.

Bandicam is a screen capture and recording software that has been primarily designed for recording of games and streaming videos.
