Well looks like the forum was more interesting than the football by all the spam hammers Stulid has wielded!

Internet came back around 9pm, it's almost like someone walks past my house at 3pm and hacks into the internet and tv and turns them off and then turns em back on at around 9.

Bloody annoying, anyway hopefully if it's working this evening I will be on, might be on later (9ish) due to the dodgy connection issue.

Not going to sit back and take abuse from Wndsr and say nothing back!

Managed to get one game last night with Netphreak on some wierd server where every useful gun and kit item in the world was banned (even though the admins were shooting people with banned weapons). Think I got banned in the end for using a DMR against a bolt action sniper wielding adminz0r.

Just got back from the doctors for 2nd day in a row (blood test today), time for an executive, 5 hour powernap. Bliss.

Yeah it did turn out to be a pretty weird server that, but tbh I enjoyed the change of pace as there were only 8 or 9 people on it and I was running round with the .44 magnum which by their own rules should have been banned (no DLC weapons, even though we were playing DLC maps... :rolleyes:), but they said no the magnum was ok so I just used it, and occasionally backed it up with the M4 or G36C with FLIR scope lol.

Enjoy your nap.
 
Question!

I have recorded many rounds of game play using Shadowplay but the file sizes are ridiculous. Is there any way to reduce the file size, thus reducing the upload time without compromising on quality?

How the type of people playing the BF series has changed over the years :confused:

VirtuaDub is quite a good program and it's free. Otherwise Sony Vegas is pretty good... but expensive... unless you know Knock Off Nigel. With either, play with your settings and render the first 10 seconds, i.e. cancel it. You can check that you're happy with the quality.

Make sure you have some extensive codecs installed. I recommend Kazaa Mega Codec Pack

No codec packs for me, all you need is LAV Filters: https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases.

Nap taken.

What is ADS in BF4 and what are its advantages?

I don't know what is going on lately but I find I look down a scope (any scope) and have problems picking out any enemies on outdoor maps.

ADS = Aim Down Sight. I don't think I need to explain the advantages of aiming when trying to kill somebody. :P

I have trouble picking enemies out sometimes, usually because it looks like they just blend into the map/background behind where I am aiming.
 
Downloading Vegas now. Doing a test with Handbrake, apparently converting MP4 to MP4 :D

Edit: Test complete. The file size has gone down from 3.2GB to 1.01GB in a matter of minutes. Looks about the same too.

Would be nice to try and get it even smaller as uploading a GB takes a bloody long time!

What shadowplay settings are you using? I think you can turn it down to 1080p @ 30fps and still be perfectly acceptable quality but with a much smaller filesize. Try turning down the sample rate too?

If your compressing it with something anyway, may as well do it as your recording and save a bit of time? :)
