Hi guys. I've been posting videos on youtube but everytime I put one up it ends of choppy and pixely in spots. I havn't figured out how to fix this. I've posted in HD and normal and it comes out the same. I use Fraps and Sonyvegas 12.0 I have the full version of both so I don't know if its the format I'm posting them in or what. If anyone can help plz let me know.

hi.

if you use fraps you need to do it in full size with 60fps for best performance.after you put that in sony vegas,render it to a AVCHD 1920x1080i.
with these settings everything should be fine.
youtube is auto recognizing what you are uploading to them and make some option for quality available for the user to watch.

in sony vegas do not choose that "Internetvideo" settings.quality is crap.

btw: hope you do some really good stuff.99% of MWO footage on youtube is randomly uploaded daily gameplay without any idea of art or effects or anything.you see just videos where people are shoutin: "whooohooo look,im playing!and im recording it whooohooo" - nothing really entertaining,...you understand

this was my shot at CB with these settings. maybe you can compare it to your data:
atm im bored out by MWO so theres no continued stuff at all.

My computer can only run MWO at 20 fps. I don't really understand it but its ok. Lol. Thanks for the help though I'll post my next video using that and see if it helps. My computer runs every other game I play at 40-60.

[Fabo1985]

oh well. the 60fps setting in fraps is just the recording framerate. if you have 20 fps ingame there will be 3 times the same shot recorded.20 fps for recording are pretty low.this wont make sense.
with 20fps youll never get a fluid footage.
note: for good software recording you need a rly good PC.especially when you use fraps or dxtory.
if your PC offers you a free PCIex1 slot you can try it with avermedias live gamer HD card for hardware recording.
this wont drop your fps while recording because the card and not your CPU is doing the recording work.

also make sure the game you are running and the path you are recording to are not on the same HDD.
especially if you are using fraps which pumps the record as .avi data to your HDD/SSD which is extreme huge

besides normal HDD storages i have 4 SSDs in my rig. 1 is just for fraps recording.
but im recording in 1080p@up to 120fps.

nice infos fabo^^ tx

I have actually had some good results using BigaSoft MKV converter while I get 10-15 fps ingame. But I'm also using my i7-2600 which has QuickSync for smoother recording of video.

If you get ****** FPS try recording in 1280 x 720 and limit fraps to 30fps.
Render tham using H.264 codec and export them as mp4 using nothing less than 4000 kbits/sec and you will have great flowing HD videos.

I have recorded over 200 videos on this setting and they are all great quality.

I don't understand why I'm getting such low fps with this game. I have a HDRadeon 6670 with 8GB DDR3, and a AMD black edition quad core 3.4GHz. I run at least 60fps on every other game at highest settings.

Your Video Card is very low end (for gaming) with a performance below the Nvidia GTS 450.

I've been using MSI Afterburner 2.3.0 for recording (free, with tons of options and great quality, as well as full input and output aduio capture) and VideoPad editor for final cuts which is also free, and pretty straight forward to use. The free version also offers transitions and such although I have yet to tinker with those, but the compression rate was pretty solid. The first video below is more recent and quite a bit cleaner than the second, which was captured at a lower quality setting:

Here is the link to the video I recorded and converted with the software I mentioned in my prior post for comparison.

Like DragonsFire I have been using MSI Afterburner to record footage and the fps drop from activating record is minimal (not noticeable, but around 3-5 fps.) I've been using windows movie maker to compress and upload the videos and it has nice options for adding music, cutting, etc. Mostly I've been using it since it came with windows 7 totally free.

[Pariah Devalis]

Aye, been using MSi as well. I get 20-35 fps and still usually record butter smooth. I would highly recommend looking into Afterburner.

[TruePoindexter]

Consider this another vote for MSI Afterburner. The quality isn't quite as good as FRAPS but the performance hit is smaller.

All that said if your native framerate is poor (e.g. your FPS when not recording) your framerate while recording will only be worse. FRAPS or Afterburner record at specific framerates but that doesn't matter if the input framerate is less.

[DragonsFire]

As TruePoindexter noted, if you're already in the 20-30 FPS range at the start of a game before recording or entering battle, you will likely have a poor recording experience and also suffer gameplay wise.

With regards to quality, I haven't used FRAPS in a while, although I imagine they offer an image quality adjustment. Afterburner allows you to capture at full image quality and full frames however, with a very minimal hit. An quality that is lost usually happens during any editing or compression done later on.

[Long Draw]

I actually don't drop on fps when recording compared to when I don't record. My range stays between 10-15 fps.
