Maybe this isn't a big deal, but i notice when uploading videos on youtube, if it takes a while or you just don't feel like waiting at the page , just play some games and i notice it seems to load up quicker.

I believe going half-screen reduces quality. I always capture in fullscreen.

Quick question, what is a good resolution to upload to youtube?
Because i use CRT and my desktop resolution & game resolution is 1280x1024, and most of the time i use 1280x720 for youtube, but some folks are saying its looks weird. Now 1280x1024 i recorded look like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbCHMnvj0gI

See the black emtpy spaces on the sides?
So what is the best resolution , 1024x768 or keep it at 1280x1024 or maybe 1280x960?

to be honest u2konline, you'd have to experiment. The reason for the black bars on either side is more because of aspect ration more so than resolution...you want a 16:9 Ratio.

You may be able to capture in your choice of resolution but set the aspect ratio to 16:9 in vitual dub (follow my guide in first post). No guarantee on the results though because I never tried it.

Your question goes beyond the scope of this thread alber. And perhaps this whole TPU forum. This is a Computer Tech forum. You might want to look towards Nintendo DS support to answer your question.

anybody thought about using livestream? it records as you stream and your vids appear on your livestream page, its a bit limited as you cant put it on your youtube ect, but it cuts out a lot of hassle of capturing/converting/uploading.

Nice video Melvis

Youtube uploads used to be faster until they changed format...I think they capped their upload rate at the same time. A 500 - 600Mb file used to take about 25 minutes and now it takes over an hour....to make things worse, if I play my online game the upload always fails whereas it used to only cause slight loading lag but would still succeed. Bummer.

60fps is nice....you must have raptor drives. I'd go 60fps too if I had a high speed HDD or even an SSD :drool: But most people use 7200rpm HDD's and 29.97 and full size is pushing the threshold with those types of drives.

Yes I use premiere elements as well when I want to add a soundtrack to my gameplay...mostly my TrackMania dirt cross team races. But for Crysis and other single player games it's fraps and virtualDub. It's all I need.

The main reason I put this tutorial together was not just to Capture compress and upload, but to maximize the chances of it being processed by youtube into 720p or 1080p HD.

I see so many lame gaming videos with low quality....not HD.

Cheers guys

Yes Hayder....if you have the registered version.

I record my gameplay for have an hour at a time sometimes. Fraps saves the it all in 3.9Gb segments which I append (splice together) using virtual dub. Sometimes up to 4 raw fraps files...total 12gb and VirtualDub compresses them down to 700Mb (approx)

Thanks Man

Ahh ok well there you go, i haven't got fast internet speed here cant get it only ADSL 1 so uploads are slow. 1500/256 speed. So even a 600MB file will still take me close to 12hrs

I need a multi core CPU to record, because when i use Fraps to record my FPS drops to like 20-25frames and starts to look laggy, im just surprised how the AVP turned out, looked smooth thank god lol
