Gpw vs Tf video replay, a first!

[Spotty]

In the first round of todays match I hosted it, and recorded the whole game =). I was in ghost mode so they could NOT see me, and I was using cataclysm so I was not solid. The only intereference I did was a bit of ammo snatching by accident =P. Anyhow GPW won 4-1 in the round, and I have complied a replay of the "good" moments in it =P. It's around 50 megabytes, and requires the XVID codec (NOT DIVX). You can get the xvid codec here: http://www.divx-digest.com/software/xvid.html

The replay video is here: http://www.fooproducts.com/GpwTFRound1Replay.avi
I <b>highly</b> recommend right clicking this link and pushing save target as.

Anyhow your opinions on this new method of recording and the idea itself are welcome =D.

[Unhit]

Yay *downloads*
Cool idea. Files are huge, but nice nevertheless.

[Stijn]

I wouldn't call it huge, it took me less than 5 minutes to download it :P

Really nice, the quality is acceptable and I can finally see my clanmates playing :)

[Anakin[CC]]

wow cool a video ;P i used DAP (http://www.speedbit.com/DAP7/) 2 dl it. The fooproducts.com server was fast :D 230kbs.

I just watched it and it was fun to, the quality was schocking @ first and the chat was hard to read but i got used to it quickly. Hope for more CW video's in the future, 50 MB is nicely compressed btw :D.

[Sasik]

Yes, cool idea :p
I have been waiting for repalys from jj2 for ages 8D
File isn't really huge, it took me something like 5 min to download it, and quality isn't very bad ;p

But I think that the host shouldn't recording game, because it makes more lags then. Other person should record games in the future :)

[Spotty]

Thanks for your comments everyone =) I'm glad you've been able to download it wihtout trouble.
As for the server hosting it, it hasn't been proven that recording while hosting causes lag, my framerate was a constant 25 the whole time with fraps runnign and I'll try to do tests to see if hosting in this way causes lag. There were reports of lag while I was hosting it but that was because all the players were European, and I'm in north america =)

[SkulL]

I just saw it,wow, This is awesome Spoy You are really good in record games ;) way to go!
I hope someone will record as good as you FoR vs DM it'll be fun seeing it. :P

[R3ptile]

*downloading*
There will be more american people on the grand-final, so Spotty may be able to host the whole match.

Edit: I just finished watching. NICE MOVIE =D

[AvK]

Nice.

[Superjazz]

After all I think that you recorded everything of the match, but removed the boring parts. I saw only about 25% of the round at that video. Just the scores were important, weren't they, who scored, who roasted, etc. So, I think that made enough clear what happened really.
Nice video anyways, hope we'll get some video from DM vs. FoR also.

[Fawriel]

...wow. So that's what good players at work look like.

But... didn't you kind of irritate the players floating around like that, Spotty? =P

[AvK]

...wow. So that's what good players at work look like.

But... didn't you kind of irritate the players floating around like that, Spotty? =P
He's the only one who saw himself.

[Fawriel]

...oh.
...then I wonder why Flash ( I think ) kept shooting into his direction. ..eh.

[Radium]

...oh.
...then I wonder why Flash ( I think ) kept shooting into his direction. ..eh.
He was no doubt MAGICALLY sensing INVISIBLE PEOPLE and trying to destroy them.

Anyway, ++replay, --filesize.

gj spots, u r teh ownage!!!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: some people have complained about not hearing stuff, got any solutions, or is there simply no sound, just checking.

It originally did have sound, but I noticed two fairly big problems with it.
1. It signifigantly increased the file size
2. Sound was annoying due to the fact I was on an airboard and constantly changing direction

So I got rid of the sound =P. I could add a jj2 music file or something next time so at least there is something.. heheh

[Anubis]

You expect me to be able to download teh record? I'll try many times until it's successfully downloaded with my stupid slow internet.

[[GpW]Urbs]

ahh ok thx for the explanation dude.
BTW u could be airboardless:)

Disable the music and leave the sound on, or vice-versa. :7

[Spotty]

I was using a cataclysm mode in which I wasn't solid to the other players, if I could find another prog that allowed me to do that with copter ears or something that would be nice.

As for sound I could just add a jj2 song to the video after editing, it probably wouldn't increase the size much, either way keeping the sound effects is hard =P.

[Blackraptor]

With my extremely slow DSL, this took about an hour to download. The video was sorta choppy and the player names were blurry for the most part (could only make out like 1 person from red, and the blue team). But still the first time I've seen this done, and hats off to spoy for taking the time and effort to do this. GJ, and congrats to the teams who played, win or lose.

[Gr33n Pl4nt]

That looked really amazing, great job. That was an awesome replay.

[Turtleslayer]

That's extremely neat, Spoy. Did you use Fraps to record it? I do think some sort of background music would be cool. =)

[FireSworD]

Yes brilliant idea TS, make sure you have some epic background music to go with the DM vs. FoR war, Spoy. ;P

[R3ptile]

Heh. FoR vs. DM is gonna be a blast. ;dd

[[GpW]Urbs]

no sequel is as good as the original:)))

[SkulL]

I agree with FS Reptile and Turtleslayer! :D:D:D

[CelL]

I finally got around to watching this, it was pretty interesting. T'was a bit blury but not too hard to follow. Good job at recording Spoy! I hope we can do something similair for DM vs FoR. =)

[White Rabbit]
