Make-Believe PC - Prototype RPG, 1920x1200 (960x600 micro), 30FPS

Seg 1 encoded at 2012-10-31 17:30:31


  • With a name as creative as Dark Souls, plenty of lulz are sure to be had! Fraps gave me issues which is covered in the recording. After that I was encoding the files in the old style, e.g. 4gb chunks of AVI's, using simple X264 launcher. There's the possibility that mkvmerge will causes these to bug out on VLC/Chrome. Use MPC with madvr if this is the case.
  • Due to the horrid abuse of post processing, the base encodes came out rather large. There is half-res micro segments due to this if you want. MadVR upscales these impressively even up to 1920x1200 again.
  • In some cases, the ogg audio seems to drift out of sync a bit. This is possibly due to VBR settings. I will probably phase out ogg or experiment to counter this, but the most noticeable segment effected by this is segment 10 where the sync notably drifts out.

Character creation, sound tests, and some unexpected butthurt. As it turns out, motioninjoy uses a fucking webpage for everything on it including driver config, and I bring down their entire server.

 

This first segment's micro encode is a re-encode of the main encode. I forgot to make a base encode for the micro before I moved on. Thus, it is lower quality than the remaining micro encodes.

Depth of Field Souls. Hey look, it's the same monsters and area as Demon's Souls! It's like a pop culture reference to itself! How clever.

This segment has some degree of audio desync, presumably due to ogg VBR. However, the desync is not very severe. Enjoy my censorship material.

High motion = huge file size. Well fiddlesticks. I need to remake my motion prediction profiles again, since megui nuked them all.

This marks the breakpoint between standard recordings and the recordings taken after the fraps problems. Therefore, these segments are likely to be the ones VLC/Chrome users encounter problems with, if at all. There may also be a noticeable quality shift in the encodes.
