Hey. People want to see video of pc max quality. I just did a fraps video except the file is huge. Any help?

Run it through windows movie maker, it makes it a much more manageable size.

Yeah Fraps records it raw. It's so it doesn't lose performance compressing it.

You can use a 3rd party (free) converter to make it smaller for upload.

P.S.

Even Windows Movie Maker works for this.

I don't think anyone's going to say no. You better start uploading. :goodjob:

Fraps records uncompressed. You need to compress it afterwards. I recommend Handbrake, it compress in x264 which is the best version of h.264 imo, which is already the best compression system and it's free

I will definitely watch it.

Will it lose quality? There is little point in uploading if it's just going to look crappy from compression.....

Yeah, try AVC/H.264 (same thing) in an mp4 if you're going for Youtube. At least 4 Mbps.

I won't be getting my Skyrim until tomorrow since I pre-ordered at a local mall

Yes it will. The more it's compressed the more noticeable it'll be.

Youtube allows full HD uploads. It'll just take a long time.

Stick it in Windows live movie maker and then click save for High definition display.

Ok ..just trying now with windows movie maker. Days the file will he about 200mb..... MUCH better lol

» Tue May 08, 2012 8:49 pm

Uh - upload to YOUTUBE at 1080p?

(or 720p if you want to enjoy the rest of the afternoon lol)

» Tue May 08, 2012 7:40 pm

Just uploading to YouTube now.

Not sure hw succesful it will be. I just uploaded directly from windows movie maker.

It's Riverwood btw. Don't expect to see new footage. I thought the most logical PC footage to share would be one to directly compare to console.

» Tue May 08, 2012 7:01 pm

http://virtualdub.org/ Much better. It's free, btw.
What compression codec you can use will depend what's available/installed on your computer (or included w/the program etc), AFAIK.

And yeah, FRAPS raw files are huge at full, HD sizes.

» Tue May 08, 2012 8:24 pm

Yup... Just uploading to YouTube now. Fingers crossed the quality is still good.

67% uploaded. Not long now

I personally prefer bandicam.

I personally prefer bandicam.

I'll have to look it up. Been using VDub for years and it's great when you want to do more than a straight conversion (editing) but sometimes I wish it had a few options that it doesn't (easily) have. You can get plugins and such for VDub but whether they work/are what you want depends who made them. heh. I've tried some other free converters and so far haven't liked any...haven't heard of bandicam tho so thanks for another name to try.

Edit: oh nvm, that's a recorder. But I'll check it out too...sometimes FRAPS isn't the best, either.

Ok... I've had a bit of failure. Just spent that whole time uploading and it only came in 480p!!!!! What the [censored]?????

SIGH.

SOrry guys... Here is attempt one anyway:... I'll try attempt two.

I hate youtube.

*EDIT*

Oh wait... If you go to this link, it will allow you to select the 1080p.

And yeah... Keep in mind there is some pixelation from compression. It definitely looks better in the raw video. A significant step up, in fact.

» Tue May 08, 2012 8:14 pm

Youtube was still rendering it on their end. Its full 1080p now.

I'm watching it now, it is in HD. Just takes time for it to process.

Looks great! I can't wait to get it tomorrow.

» Wed May 09, 2012 3:30 am

Oh nice, 2 more hours to go here!

» Tue May 08, 2012 11:36 pm

Amazing. Tomorrow is gonna be great!

Same, except I preordered online and they promised it today. You could always return it (buy through steam) and demand a refund, but I'll rather just get the box, drink mead tonight, and sleep anyhow.
