I have a beast machine that could handle just about anything. I have a very modern PC and SSD harddrive which definitely helps recording in Fraps while still running GW2 at max settings. I record at full resolution with Fraps and encode to XVID using Virtualdub, I am very new to this so I'm sure there are better options/codecs out there I haven't played with yet. Ribbons' setup sounds great! I believe the preferred codec for YouTube-aimed vids is still H.264...that being stated I much prefer .MKV, DivX & Xvid codecs. (Also note that Apple's version of H.264 is known to frequently have out of sync issues.) Always start with the highest quality source file you can: .AVI or .MOV, with a high resolution/sampling rate, so long as your system can support/store it; that way you're starting with a non-compressed, high quality base to convert over. Then use a video editor to encode your source to something YouTube will like. Ex. Source Sampling: 1080p/i, 720p etc. @ 48KHz or 44.1KHz (stereo), skip 96KHz unless you are really expecting audiophiles to be listening to your tracks. I haven't converted anything specifically for YouTube use in a while, so feel free to browse their recommendations first: YouTube - Encoding Tips YouTube - Encoding: Advanced Specifications As for Encoders...once again, my favs are: Matroska (.MKV) DivX (.DIVX) Xvid (.XVID) I generally use either Sony Vegas, or Adobe Premiere Pro, but there are some great free editors out there. Some great, Free Video Editors/Encoders: VirtualDub NCH - VideoPad Avidemux AVI-Trimmer + MKV2 More advanced (due to primarily for 3D rendering) but also has great video editing = Blender Hope this helps, or at least provides you with more options than you ever wanted to ponder. ;D Some oracle help section worthy tips on video compression, I would repost this there for posterity.

Not sure why it's not higher than 480 quality, I thought I have all the settings correct. My unedited video I had was 1080. Nevermind, I guess it is 1080 afterall. Anyway... Oh and towards the end of the video take a look at General Chat. lol HILARIOUS! Last edited by Wolfgang; 12/01/12 07:19 PM.

Fast cast ground targeting, check it out 4. I don't know if the Obama comment or the Handsome Harold was funnier. Both are gems. 5. Suicide themed music would work better if you actually died :) *edit Not sure why you changed videos, but the first one was better :) Last edited by Kaotic; 12/01/12 07:34 PM.

I didn't intentionally center you in the video, you must have been Lindsey Lohaning it up after I mentioned I was frapsing. 2. Sometimes "G" becomes "F" when you fat finger the buttons. 3. I probably use my grenades to much when I should be shooting people with the gun. But the Nades are have so much more damage, and I like to see shit blow up. 4. Both comments were pretty funny. I didn't notice them until I was trying to edit the video. 5. I would have had a lot of different music cut in, but I'm a serious newbie when it comes to editing video so I have yet to be that efficient. Also, the last 15 minutes that I frapsed this morning didn't get recorded. Apparently it stops after 10 minutes. Or I need to change some settings... so you see I'm seriously new at this.

More GW2 battles Maybe a one night stint in PS2 I WANT TO SEE ALL KGB ON AT ONE TIME IN M&B WARBAND!!! (that would make for a badass video)

I really don't plan to do this all the time. I'll do some small scale videos just so I can get better at editing and making them better without the videos being to long.
