OBS Studio como alternativa Linux a Bandicam
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
OBS Studio can replace Bandicam for most Linux users who need to capture a single window or a custom region with low overhead. It offers comparable video quality, supports microphone and system audio, and lets you add overlays or text. Power users who want fine‑grained scene composition, live‑streaming, or extensive audio filtering will find OBS more flexible, while users who only need a very simple, one‑click recorder may prefer a lighter tool. Overall, OBS is a solid, free alternative for anyone moving from Bandicam to Linux.

Lo que funciona igual
- Window‑region capture","Direct microphone and system audio recording","Export to common formats such as MP4","Ability to add overlays/text annotations
Lo que cambia
- OBS uses a scene‑based workflow which adds complexity compared to Bandicam’s single‑click UI
- No built‑in ultra‑lightweight mode; CPU/GPU usage is higher when many sources are active
- No native support for Bandicam’s proprietary .brec format (OBS records to standard containers only)
- Live‑streaming features are present but may be unnecessary for pure screen capture
Abrir tus archivos de Bandicam
OBS records to standard containers like MP4, MKV, MOV and does not read Bandicam’s .brec files. If you have existing Bandicam recordings, you can play them with any player that supports the format (e.g., VLC) or re‑encode them with ffmpeg. OBS itself cannot open .brec files directly, so conversion is required if you need to edit them in OBS.

Cómo instalar OBS Studio en Linux

Can OBS record at the same low CPU usage as Bandicam?
OBS is efficient, but its CPU load depends on the number of sources and the encoder you choose. Using hardware encoding (NVENC, VAAPI) and limiting the capture area can keep usage comparable to Bandicam.
Does OBS support the same video codecs as Bandicam?
OBS offers H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) via hardware encoders, as well as VP8/VP9. These are standard codecs and will produce files compatible with the same players Bandicam uses.
What if I need to capture a game in full‑screen mode?
OBS can capture full‑screen games via Game Capture or Display Capture. It may require running with elevated privileges on some systems, but it works reliably on Linux.
