I had the same issue when I started testing Bandicam playing my game at 1920x1200 and recording at Full Screen. Not sure what im doing wrong here, any advice? I understand what you are saying about all this but i play games at 1920x1200 and tell bandicam demo to record at 720p yet youtube still puts black bars?

I am considering buying bandicam but i am having issue with the resolution on youtube. It will automatically be ready to upload, but playing at the resolution you are recording at and keeping them the same will always look better/keep more detail.

With Bandicam, you can play at any resolution you want and tell it to record at YouTube 720p with the Preset that is there too, even while you play at say 1920x1200. Then, you won't have to resize or crop/lose anything. You could also play your game in a 16:9 ratio (like 1280x720, 1600x900, 1920x1080, etc) and record it that way. To match YouTube's AR (which is the same as DVDs, BluRays, etc) you can do a few things, such as in your video editor (if you edit it before uploading), crop/edit the video so that it is in a 1.778 AR (16:9). What that means is, if you are playing and recording at typical resolutions like 1650x1080, 1920x1200, and so on, when you upload it to YouTube, it will have small black bars on the sides, because YT's 16:9 AR is 'flatter' than the taller 16:10 monitor/game resolutions. YouTube's flash player uses a 16:9 Aspect Ratio, while most games and monitors are played in 16:10 AR's. It depends what you mean by 'fullscreen'.
