****The official Gameplay/Machinima video thread.****

Ok lets try and make a video thread for games. Anything interesting you've found in a game. Maybe different routes to take or amusing events whlist playing . Even maybe a great round of CSS you had. Im sorry I don't currently have any myself but I'll add one as soon as I can. This is also a good place to add any Machinima you may have made or maybe you've seen one thats funny that not many people have seen.

Rules:

1. Name of game must be posted.
2. File size must be posted.
3. A brief discription of events so people can choose whether to download.
4. No swearing.
5. No scoreboards :D

Suggestions:-

Capture:

1. Fraps

Uploading:

1. eggdisk
2. Youtube
3. video.google.co.uk
4. Stage6

Converting from AVI to other file systems:

1. Windows movie maker.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:

Game: Flatout 2
Discription: A quick replay of me in derby mode for test purposes.
Filesize: 8.33mb
Filetype: WMA

Flatout 2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heres some advice from platypus

Steps I take to record a video:

* Record everything using fraps
* Stick it together in Vegas Video
* Make titles in Macromedia Flash
* Apply Special Effects in either VV or Adobe After Effects
* Convert Soundtrack to medium quality wav to reduce overall file size
* Export video full frames uncompressed
* Compress video using VirtualDub to Xvid/join with Compressed soundtrack
* Run AviSynth scripts to post process the video: clean up dirt/pixellation and improve quality.

Ive added some rules. Can anyone think of any others. Also if anyone knows of good software to use for encoding or sites for uploading. Or if theres anything other then fraps for recording (something free maybe:D). Please let me know and I'll add that info to the first post also.

Ive used eggdisk but everytime I try to view the video it says Im not allowed. How do you set them to public or whatever?

Was that using a 360 pad?
 
Ok heres a video that is a must. When Lost coast was released the screenshot thread got flooded with shots of it. So the video thread wouldn't be complete without a video of it :D Sounds gone abit funny though. Game was running at 1600x1200 6xAA 16XAF and all other settings max. So no wonder its a bit sluggish especially when you are recording it with fraps at Full size :D About 4.5gb of hdd used.

Game: Half life 2: Lost coast
Discription: Just me poncing about in loast coast.
Filesize: 28.2mb
Filetype: WMA

lost coast
 
I used movie maker. Its very simple cos Ive never done this sort of thing before. When you save the files you can chose how big they will be. I usualy make them 1meg a second.
