Guys I need help making the best quality, everything so far I look here is
all out-dated. I've got few problems, If there is any suggestions you may please.
Now I'm trying to capture a video from a game called "Counter-Strike" I can capture and edit but when it comes to rendering i need the best encoding format, I've heard people say not to use codec leave it on WMV, others say use H264, and so far I use FFDSHOW on h264/x264 but now when ever i try to upload it to youtube I get an error saying "Failed (unable to convert video file)" I've tried so many things eg: MeGUI, RipBot none of them turned out good. I really don't care about how big the file is its oke for me if it’s 150+ Mb/minute. I just want something with good quality, and yet I released that on some XviD or other codec like x264 on its own, when there's an action in the movie like a lot of movements and just pause it and you can see like Big Square Pixel's, and once that’s uploaded to youtube the quality won't turn out good and I just need configuration or even if there's another better way.
So far this is what i do:
From Counter-Strike get the Images (.Tga files) and replace them inside VirtualDub and set frame rate to 120 (120 because it was set like that in Counter-Strike too) and then render as Uncompressed, from there i use Sony Vegas pro to edit and after I edit I render as AVI with "FFDSHOW video encoder" and bitrate as 4500 these are my current settings
thanks
