VIDEO INFO: RAW SIZE (Uncompressed with no Video Codec): 36.4 gig. COMPRESSED SIZE: 361 meg (Using the MP4 Codec) PROJECT TIME: ~4 weeks on and off. TIME TO COMPILE: 38 Minutes. TIME TO UPLOAD: 3 hours 17 minutes. NUMBER OF GAMES USED: 15 NUMBER OF PROGRAMS USED: 18 GAMES USED: PlanetSide, Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike Source, Day of Defeat, Day of Defeat Source, Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Left 4 Dead 2, Aliens Versus Predator (2010), IL2 Sturmovik, Borderlands, Call of Duty: World At War, Natural-Selection, Unreal Tournament 2004, Team Fortress 2. #Games were usually recorded with ingame engine functions if possible. I found that only AvP and Borderlands lacked this function, everything else had it's own inbuilt system for capturing footage but not outputting it to a video file. #To capture a video (.avi etc) I launched FRAPS before replaying the recording and then had FRAPS spit out the raw .avi. #A raw .avi of 1 minute of Borderlands footage is around 1 gigabye. (Even with no audio.) #Around 3 minutes of footage was dropped due to YouTube having a 10 minute limit. Bastards. #Natural-Selection had footage dropped due to the old Half-Life engine causing problems. (Textures and weapon models would vanish during demo playback.) #The oldest codec used with from 2000. A beta build of the DIVX codec. #4 video's had to be resized due to huge black borders around their edges. (PlanetSide, etc.) #Final size was 1440*900. (Up from 340*240 and 640*480) #I mostly used VirtualDub to make the .avi files, resize them. But I used Camtasia Studio to create the credits, intro etc. #I found that I have at least 20 discs labelled "BACKUP" with no additional information. I need a new filing system.

Great vid. Some of those games look pretty good.

Not happy with the multiple cases of me being f****d in L4D2, but it's got to be accurate I guess

Nice you included your "lap of honour" as the jockey

Yeah the legendary "lap of honor" brought a smile to my face every single time I spat out a test video (I attempted various codecs and resolutions). I felt a little sorry for Stumpy but it was too hilarious and the pity quickly subsided.
(Said video was also one of the longest clips used in the compilation.)

Lap of honour eh? Was just about to say that's probably the most comical moment in the video!

Looking forward to details/tips on how you made that, but in any case great job, hell of a range in there! Are all of those recently made demos, or did you have some saved up from years ago?

Added more info to the first post. Slap in questions if you got em
