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.
Segment 1
2:17:44 hours, x264/OGG
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.
Segment 2
2:4:5 hours, x264/OGG
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.
Segment 3
1:47:24 hours, x264/OGG
Segment 4
2:42:36 hours, x264/OGG
Segment 5
2:46:31 hours, x264/OGG
Ricky Honejasi pronounces "Gigabyte" as "Jiggabyte".
Segment 6
3:7:43 hours, x264/OGG
Laconius pronounces "wolf" as "wuff".
Segment 7
3:15:26 hours, x264/OGG
Tony, peter, goff, and ropar are all real people and all references are factual. Some shit you just can't make up.
Segment 8
1:49:2 hours, x264/OGG
This segment contains implied nudity. Be sure to watch when your parents or kids are around.
Segment 9
3:4:43 hours, x264/OGG
Segment 10
4:15:20 hours, x264/OGG
This segment has some degree of audio desync, presumably due to ogg VBR. However, the desync is not very severe. Enjoy my censorship material.
Segment 11
2:25:27 hours, x264/OGG
This segment has some degree of audio desync, presumably due to ogg VBR. However, the desync is not very severe. Enjoy my censorship material.
Segment 12
2:38:47 hours, x264/OGG
High motion = huge file size. Well fiddlesticks. I need to remake my motion prediction profiles again, since megui nuked them all.
Segment 13
3:15:13 hours, x264/OGG
Segment 14
2:39:14 hours, x264/OGG
Segment 15
4:4:12 hours, x264/OGG
A big, long file, with lots of progression, hopeless confusion, rage and silliness. What more do you want?
Segment 16
2:45:48 hours, x264/OGG
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.
Segment 17
3:22:40 hours, x264/OGG
Segment 18
5:1:23 hours, x264/OGG
This is a very long final segment because it actually covers a rather significant amount of content.
Review
I failed to resist the urge this time.
