Oh, I didn't know my own freakin outfit was making a movie. I guess I should probably keep up more :P.

[Raik]

Yeah chewy, you should keep an eye open..Ruks and Common are always recording

Man, Tuesday night the DragonWolves got rather "intimate" with Ruks. He had that Maelstrom going and pretty much whiped us up good. But we held that tower for almost an hour.

What software do you use to encode the movies? What is your setup? Just wondering, because I've been in the process of putting together something for the DragonWolves.

Go check out our forums www.rnsnetwork.com theres a couple of threads about making movies etc on there, i don't do it myself, sorta promoting the outfit on here :P If ruks owned a few of you, you haven't seen him gunning a Mag yet, we sat on the side of a bridge and mauled tons of Vguards, it was hilarious seeing them try to climb over the wreckage of the dead vguards, before exploding themselves....I hope he got it recorded

Not a bad flim at all i liked it....the only thing i really noticed was that the foot soldiger was shooting at targets that did not move much...but besides that it kicked ass

That ruks guy owned us on tuesday especially mani

[JetRaiden]

that NC one was pretty damn funny.

[SkunkPunk]

yea my outfit [LD.] is gonna be making movie through next week, if TacticalCommand comes back from wherever he went. gonna be some sick shit if we get it done.

[Raik]

Yeah, the tale of the colourblind NC, he musta just saw the vanguard and thought 'woo, they need repairing' he never noticed it was in a nice purple hue.

[Raik]

Never noticed, yeah Ruks does pretty much own, but you don't see the times we are getting owned by the NC. We never seem to have any problems with the TR on emerald, we have nice battles with em that can last a good few hours, but when the NC zerg shows up, we just bail, fighting the NC is like banging your head on a wall....just do a /who teams on Emerald.

Props to the TR for thinking tactically and capping the other conts while we fight the NC though, well done

[Raik]

Well incase anyone wants to see it, heres another movie starring me and Ruks/Rugs in full blown mag pwnage...check the start with the 3 vangs

Oi, I hate fighting the NC. Those god damned Phoenix's piss me off so freaking much.

[Raik]

i love fighting the NC, its hard as hell, its alot easier fighting TR, but theres a sense of satisfaction taking out 2 vanguards without having to repair your mag

Hey guys,

Sentrosi, you asked how we encode the videos. I'm not sure if you're asking how we record em or how we encode em so I'll answer both I recorded the NC blooper, and the second one raik just posted showing the battle at the bridge. Common made the first one so you'd have to him about that one.

As for me, my game machine has an ATI radeon 9500 which can do tv output at 1024 x 768 meaning I dont have to play at low res if I want to record I pipe that signal, along with audio output from my soundcard into a second machine, which has video capture. I capture to mpeg2 at 720x480 (DVD res). I do my editing in mpeg2 format, and then when I've got the video the way I want it, I re-encode it to XviD, crunching the filesize down to something more friendly. In terms of software, I would recommend something that does smart mpeg2 editing, re-encoding only the parts where you cut, such as honestech video editor. I use the Gordian Knot software bundle to encode to XviD at the end.

Unfortunatly my method does require two computers, one with video capture capability. I know there is software that can capture directly on your gaming PC, but from what I understand it only caps 640x480 and doesnt cap audio. Also it hits your FPS hard.

Hope this helps.

Also wanted to say I had a blast with that Mealstorm tuesday night. That gun is wild. No reload, instant line of sight fire and no crazy cone of fire.
