Not sure if there is anything like this anywhere?

Just had a really tense ending to a game, and thanks to the magic of shadowplay, i could capture it in crappy quality

Post more videos of fun/out of the ordinary games you've had for people to watch when they have some time to kill.

I wish I could post videos, but it takes up to 3 hours to upload them to youtube. And I can't find a way to exclude external audio, and I don't think anyone watching a MWO video whats to hear Frasier while doing so. Also I think most of the 'good' players on the forum would stroke out, having to watch me play with my arms locked to reticle.

Anyway, nice save. Thats a lot of work for a Hunchback and an Enforcer.

What are you using to record it? I'm sure there's a way to turn off the mic, though as you probably heard, i havent done it yet myself either.

With regards to the upload time, my upload was gonna take 2 hours, so i tried reencoding it with ffmpeg (https://www.ffmpeg.org), which brought the filesize down from 1.6gb to 270mb with no loss in quality that i could see (it was terrible to begin with though).

This is the command i used to encode it:
ffmpeg -i "d:\vidcapture\MechWarrior Online\MechWarrior Online 09.30.2017 - 02.54.56.05.DVR.mp4" -c:v libx264 -c:a aac "d:\VidCapture\MechWarrior Online\encodingtest.mp4"

So, open command prompt, find the folder you put ffmpeg in (for me, c:\ffmpeg\bin), exchange first path/filename with the file you want to reencode, exchange second path/filename with what you want the output file to be called, and voila. Upload time goes from 2 hours to 19 minutes

Edit: And don't worry about "good" players stroking out, this is for matches you yourself had fun in.

Actually, having your arms locked is the right thing most of the time. Especially if one has weapons of the same kind in the same group but distributed over torso and arms. Without armlock, their damage gets unnecessarily spread of the target. With armlock, it's like the arms would be part of the torso.
Only if one really needs the arm freedom, e.g. to track orbitting lights, unlocking arms is better.

I am shocked on a regular basis when observing people that like 90% of the MWO population don't grasp that and rather spread their damage like an i****.

So, if you have your arms locked: cheers to you!
(you should unlock them if needed, though)

Well I have some videos I saved then uploaded to YouTube where I really had fun in those matches and obviously did well in them. I'll just post the one where I got 7 kills, 3 solos and 4 KMDD, but most of the others were just videos where I had some fun situations.



I use InstantReplay by Nvidia to record my stuff. It constantly records into RAM until I hit the save then it dumps the last X minutes (10 mins for me) onto disk. Bloody useful feature. I upload to YouTube so that I can delete the videos off my disk cuz these videos at 1.7-2.5 GB big, recording 720p @ 30FPS. Uploading is fast for me, only a 2-3 minutes.

So I had a funny game today... You can hear when my heart breaks in two in this one. And I thought I was doing so well.

Good game there
As for the rest, I'm not asking for god mode games, just games that stood out to you for something to watch when I don't feel like doing anything productive.
It's also always fun to see how other people play.

Aaaand I envy your upload speeds.

Thanks! Yeah it helps when I have a 1GB fibre line and I have a YT server geographically near me.

Here's another one. Skip to 3:20 if you want to jump, I had this really lucky look at an Arctic Cheetah, popped a LB10X at his back and took him out. That was right after a massive brawl with 4 enemy mechs, and followed up with another exciting brawl with 4 other mechs. All in a space of 2 minutes.



Yeah I love brawls and close-up builds. I suck at peeking and sniping.

use something with decent encoding, try recording with Bandicam, its very efficient, doesnt suck the life out of your pc while recording and can still use nvidia enc (same as shadowplay) if thats your card supports it and if for some reason you prefer it.

any of those recording softwares tend to have prefs to exclude audio if you prefer, if they dont, just mince it through some software like VLC which can convert/mess with audio and have it mute the audio as it does so.

[arcana75]

If you want to do any encoding or reencoding work the best tool is avconv which is free, you can download it for Windows. The only thing is it's command line only. But it's powerful and you can just Google out all the commands to do what you need. If you want to remove the audio or lower the volume etc it is very easy to do with avconv. But if you are talking about removing something within the audio eg the mic picked up your kids or the TV in the background that's a different ordeal altogether.

Another fun game in the HBK-4G, this time on Polar Highlands. This thing will be pretty damn good when it's fully skilled.



Edit: Annoying though, I just recently started putting points into firepower, and now the extra velocity is throwing my timing off...

If you have multiple sound devices you can go into the options of some media players and set them to use different devices. So have default sound device set to device-1, set a media player to device-2, and then set both to be listened to by your headphones. Then just set your recording software to record only device-1.
Unfortunately MWO doesn't let you change the device that the game uses so it will always be on the default. Well, you used to be able to launch on one device and then change your default device to get around it, or you might be able to use a 3rd party program to set it.
And if you don't have multiple sound devices you can set up virtual ones.

Almost got the last one there...

[InvictusLee]

nice game!

[Johnny Ammo]

Ace of Spades (8 Kills), 6 Solo Kills, 6 KMDD and over 1000+ damage. I'm proud of the video! I throw in a bunch of cheesy 80's action move one-liners when I kill mechs. it's dumb.

Wow, that was annoying.. Pretty sure I would have told them both to shut up
