Hello guys,

I’m kinda in hurry now, but I just saw your long posts and wanted to say I appreciate your help and I will read all of them later today!

To Danny: Yes man, you can count on that, I will get it for you! 🙂

// Edit 1: Would raw game footage compressed by Lagarith lossless codec be ok for you? In these examples I didn’t use it but I know that a lot of moviemakers use that codec while compressing the .avi file to make it 1/2 size without losing quality.

// Edit 2: Just to let you know how the whole process goes. In the game, I set it to run at framerate of 300 (to make later editing easier while doing slow motion etc.) then I start capturing thousands of .tga pictures which I then connect in a program called VirtualDub to make an .avi file from all those pictures. This is a standard process of doing videos from this game at the highest possible quality.

// Edit 3: I’m just uploading the file for you to dropbox. The file has 1,8GB and it only has 2 seconds. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to upload more since I only have 2GB of free space :/

// Edit4 : Here’s the file! https://www.dropbox.com/s/p21k4zm35tear40/1080p-Lagarith-300fps.avi?dl=0
Don’t be suprised when you won’t be able to playback it in Windows, it’s perfectly fine in Vegas though. Don’t know exactly why, maybe it has something to do with the fps things I mentioned above 😉 Let me know if you find something! Thanks!

I’m sorry! Here you go: https://ctrlv.cz/q2Ml

To Danny: I do not, but I will try to get it for you if you really want 😉

Sorry Danny, I completely forgot to check back with you. I’d like to let you know that the original file is always very huge. 5 seconds of the gameplay takes like 9GB so I doubt you’ll be happy to download that. as I said, I’m recording at very high quality, everything looks so amazing on the PC, but the Youtube quality is worse than most videos from the same game.

To Aaron: The Vegas settings are in the first post! 🙂 Btw, thank you for the suggestions. Will try it out.

“If someone elses game video looks better then the the specific sequence of frames in their video just compressed better into the low Youtube bitrate than yours did.”

Well… and how did they do it? That’s the whole point. Is it like random that Youtube compresses someone’s videos better or something? I don’t understand it. Thanks for a reply!

[Lukas Hajk]

Thanks for your input.

I’m aware that it has to be a youtube problem, but since I’ve seen a lot of moviemakers put up a great quality content on youtube, I just don’t get it. When I render the video out on 8K bitrate, it’s even pixelated in Windows, so I can’t expect to have a good quality on youtube, if I put 50K bitrate, it’s perfect in Windows and the same as 8k on youtube.

For example, take a look at this video:

Isn’t it like 10 times better than mine?

It looks absolutely amazing when I watch it from the PC. But once Youtube encodes it, this is the result.

Yes sure I can, I’m just going to sleep so I’ll get it for you tomorrow!

Thanks once again for your replies.

Have a nice day!

[Lukas Hajk]

Gosh.. sorry 😀 I swear I set it as Unlisted, apparently not 🙂

You should see it now.

[Lukas Hajk]

Yes I did. Except for the 32-bit full color, Youtube didn’t want to process the video using that option.

So I just chose 32-bit video levels

I hope it’s just not me, but the quality is still terrible… you can immediately see the pixeling on the trees.

[Lukas Hajk]

Ok Danny,

I just tried the same as you did with the screenshot. Just to be sure if it’s not something with my pc etc.

The result is the same. Crystal clear quality… -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v0p-qG1zvc

that means, what destroys the quality is the movement. I’ve tried smart resample (which I really hate) and no resample, it seems to be a problem when using both of them.

Hello Danny,

thanks a lot for your input. I took a look and the only difference in our settings is that you selected CBR at 50mbps and 32bit (full range) quality colors. I’m going to try the CBR at 50mbps as well and at the same time I’ll try to select 32bit (video levels) color quality. It seems as if the colors with the full range quality are a bit too dark.

Anyway I’ll write back when I’m done with the testing, I’m in the process of doing it.

Once again, thanks a lot for reply!
