I’ve never had any luck with uploading straight to YouTube sadly. I have used Handbrake in the past to compress down game footage captured via FRAPS, and also used a combination of the Lagarith codec and MeGUI to do the same thing but I think that’d be too overkill for SD footage. I guess it’ll just take a little fiddling with the camera and trial/error in Vegas to figure out adequate settings.

I figure it would be pretty blurry but seeing the numbers isn’t important, just knowing it’s a countdown is the main aspect since it will be overlayed ontop of some other footage. Did some work on my project and realised instead of 5/10 seconds I have roughly 20 seconds to work with, does that make it any more feasible? Again it’s in no way a professional production or anything, just a gaming video me and a few old friends are putting together to celebrate 10 years of a forum we have frequented since 2006.
