Second video attempt... - Bf-110 against Blenheims (youtube vid, 1080p)

[Freycinet]

You're welcome. I am quite impressed that this vid already has about 1500 views on youtube and my previous vid, of the spitfire vs. 110's, is up to 3000 views!

Thanks for the tip on the latest beta for Afterburner, finally a video capture prog that doesnt screw up the sound and is easy to get HD onto You Tube (despite the slow upload!).

Do you always capture at the highest quality with Afterburner, or have you tried dropping the quality down, just wondered what you thought about it?

[Freycinet]

I capture at 75% quality, full-frame, 40 fps.

Hmmm, would it be better to go to 100% quality? - That might give a bigger avi file but mean less number-crunching work for the program... - Any thoughts?

Well, I guess there are many permutations, which gives the best and which 'wastes' time and processing and uploading is a tricky one, I'm just glad Afterburner does a great capture job WITH sound.

I recorded a Rise of Flight quick mission which gave a a file size of 1.85Gb, that was using the MJPG compression, 85% quality, full frame @ 30 fps 1920x1200. The down side is it took 6 hours to upload to You Tube, but I wanted to see how the 1080p HD came out. I've used Fraps at full 1920x1200 screen before and converted the RAW file to AVI which was always then screwed up by You Tube either quality wise, or no audio, but often both. I could never find a codec to convert the RAW to AVI that would be ok with You Tube's compression - audio would often disappear after the upload.

Its a time consuming job, and that's with no editing!

[Freycinet]

Just upload the pure avi that afterburner gives you, youtube takes care of the resampling.

Hey, how about a link?

And, yes, you make a movie and then let it upload overnight...

OK, just uploaded my third vid, will make a new thread now...
