bdmpegv.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like bdmpegv.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like bdcam.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Bandicam Screen Recorder) could share the same bdmpegv.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when bdmpegv.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Bandicam Screen Recorder is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common bdmpegv.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - bdmpegv.dll.
- bdmpegv.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Windows\SysWOW64\bdmpegv.dll.
- Cannot register bdmpegv.dll.
- Cannot start Bandicam Screen Recorder. A required component is missing: bdmpegv.dll. Please install Bandicam Screen Recorder again.
- Failed to load bdmpegv.dll.
- The application has failed to start because bdmpegv.dll was not found.
- The file bdmpegv.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because bdmpegv.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your bdmpegv.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Bandicam Screen Recorder), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, bdmpegv.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Bandicam Screen Recorder, system crash while loading bdmpegv.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
