Guide to recording, encoding and uploading DDO videos

[BOgre]

HERE IS THE LINK to a YouTube Playlist of a couple xfire tests I did today. Having some audio issues and a minor YouTube error, but the overall quality is still great. I'll post more if/when I work out the little bugs I'm having.

*Remember to set the quality to 720p in the YouTube window. I wish there was a way to set HD as default*

Hi, first of all thank you for taking the time to post all this info.

Could you clarify what a very powerful computer is or let me know if I can record max frames with this computer:

i3 2120 @ 3.30GHz
8gb memory
AMD Radeon 6800

Thanks

Should be fine. Those are similar specs to my computer and I can record hi-def (1920x1080) video with FRAPS no problem:

i3 3220 @ 3.30GHz
16gb memory
NVIDIA GeForce GT 630

Keep in mind that the "very powerful computer" comment was written 6.5 years ago. My computer is a low-end budget box from 2013.

EDIT: I do all my DDO video recording using Fraps and then converting them down with VirtualDub, as described in this thread. Here's an example of how it looks.

Please, when you are editing the video make sure that you check the brightness before uploading. Too many videos I try to watch are so dark that I waste my time trying to adjust MY settings to see very little.
