Arm4g3dd0nX's Sixty Second Update 10

Screencasting games and publishing the footage is a computer intensive process, especially when done in HD.

You need a powerful video card to get decent frames. Enough system memory to store raw footage without "thrashing". Enough harddrive space to handle the data. A powerful CPU to handle all that goes on. And a sturdy motherboard and power supply to support the other hardware.

My current system is:

Platinum 790FX Mobo
9850 Phenom CPU
8gigs 1066 DDR2
8800 GT 512MB GPU
750gig 7200.11 HD
700w 72A PSU
$1190 Price Tag

This video assumes you already have a pretty fierce computer comperable to the above stats. This video simply shows what you must do to record, publish, and upload HD footage.

P.S.: You might notice a few dozen windows at the bottom of my screen. That's actually very light for me as I usually have on range of 100-200 individual windows open.

What is the music at begining?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

I don't even remember anymore. Diginsan or something?

[STimmortal]

wouldnt sony vegas be a smarter choice?

you can render in h.264. that might save you some disk space ^^

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

I tried Sony Vegas. Everything ended up taking a lot longer to do. But if h.264 is a better quality for smaller size format, I can probably render to it in Camtasia Studio.

Ironic, a tutorial on HD footage, but the tutorial isn't in HD.

I tend to get smaller file sizes for the same YouTube HD quality.

Is there special benefits to quality when using WMV?

[Arm4g3dd0nX]

About 25 minutes per 10 minute video. I use 1280x720, YouTube's theory of what HD means, when I play. I prefer a custom preset made for WMV.

sorry, but the video is hard to tell what settings you use..

how long does it usually take for each video to encode for you?

also, do you use the highest game resolution when you play? or do you use a lower resolution so that fraps can record more and use less memory?

and lastly, what type of encoding do you use/prefer? H.264? MPEG4?

Thanks! I've only just started getting into video editing this week. I'm using Fraps 2.9.8 and adobe premiere pro cs4
