Hey

I'm thinking of doing a VLP of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. Focusing only on the main plot and other bits of interest so that you dont have hours of footage on fetch quests.

What I was thinking would be cool is if the battles were seamless (as in no pausing). I COULD just edit out all the pauses (or play without pausing, but gently caress that...) however that would take hours of editing time.

Is there a way to set it up in FRAPS\Camtasia\Whatever so that when I press Space, the video recording pauses, then when I press space, it resumes? That way the recording will kinda edit out all the pauses for me, the battles will flow nicely and it'll hopefully look cool as poo poo.

Hey all.

I'm thinking of doing a Sacrifice Video LP. I did a screenshot LP in the past, but the game really deserves a video LP for all the voice acting. Plus the battles can be ridiculously cool.

I'm trying to use DXtory to capture in-game footage, but the moment the game has finished loading, it crashes to the desktop. If you try to Alt-Tab in this game it crashes to the desktop. Any ideas?

Have you tried recording with OBS? Might help :shrug:

That worked. Quality isn't great though. Is there a OBS guide somewhere so I can figure out how to tweak the settings?

OBS has built-in help, and you can also see it here. OBS isn't that complicated, it's just pretty intimidating at the start and doesn't explain itself well. If you haven't used this kind of software before, you might look for one on YouTube; there's a surprisingly large and helpful community of people who record their desktops while they walk people through stuff.

I'm guessing by "quality" you mean it looks a little washed out and blocky? If so, the bitrate is probably too low for the resolution you're recording at. I think the default is 3500 because that's Twitch's max, and if so go to Settings > Encoding and change it. YouTube's bitrate guideline is here. I would then go to Broadcast Settings and change the .flv in the filename to .mp4, it doesn't make much difference locally but a lot more things accept mp4 than Flash videos.

Champion. I'll look into all of those. Thanks for your help :)

Hey!

I spent all day yesterday trying to upload a video to YouTube. A couple of times it'd get close, then all of a sudden, it'd stop and tell me that there were something like 5000 minutes before it'd be ready.

Is that a problem at my end or was Youtube just being shite?

Is there a way to make Youtube less shite?

Cheers!
