Mara turns to the dark side, destroys bunnies and ewoks for two hours. Best movie ever. How's MotS? I stopped for the time being, need to watch Episode 6. Plus MotS is pointless according to Disney.

I actually bought it just to say I played it. Probably the biggest rip off ever, but I wanted it so badly. It is an awesome sandbox game where the point is to drive on top of mountains and see how far into the white space you can get. I would crank music and just go at it for an hour. Yeah, I endured hour long sessions of this game.

Glad the new version is crisp enough for wikia standards. I use DxTory to record. Fraps is what I used for the original videos actually.

You missed the initial release of that video, which was choppy and looked quite laggy in comparison to the new version. Apparently I forgot to activate multithreading. It is also weird that Quake takes more resources when recording than Thief, though maybe it has to do with the speed with which the player moves. Check into the Q2 videos and make sure, remember that we want "official" videos.

That is what I meant by the whole official concept. Because it is one of us, we know that the videos won't disappear. Plus I feel it is more professional to get your own resources for the wikia than just taking what already exists. I know there are 50 other Quake walkthroughs which could be used, but none are any of ours. I don't believe in putting up videos that aren't mine if I can help it, the exception being things I couldn't do like the soundtrack. Now that the music works, we don't really need seperate soundtrack videos.

Another reason I like my style is because I know everything about my videos. I know it is using only vanilla stuff (even if it is put to the best settings using said vanilla material). I have the intent of making these videos for the wikia, meaning I can focus on slowing things down that should be showcased and other such things (see how I went through the different hints). It is mine so nowhere in the future can anyone complain about stealing someone else's stuff. We can trust the admins to do such stuff as we have a tight community and can find out about the other's videos. Other users put up videos which might not be their own which risk being taken down at any time, might not be just the vanilla game (even if it looks vanilla, it might not be if we are unable to get confirmation from the author), and are just playthroughs (meaning speedruns, let's plays, or at best a fast paced walkthrough). None is really necessary at as a first draft we could have these other resources, but I feel they should eventually give way to our own recorded content for quality control purposes.

I am glad the quality is a lot sharper, that was one of the main goals of this remake. DxTory is a great program for this stuff as it is basically Fraps but with the ability to control your quality. I have specific codecs set up and then run it through Sony Vegas in a near lossless format to compress the filesize while retaining the quality. As you see, the end result is quite good.

I think back then the trick was Fraps - Windows Live Media Player - Online conversion to avi - Youtube.

EDIT: Introduction has been added. Interesting fact, it takes longer for HD to appear than it does for the video to upload or for me to render the source files. Luckily I don't have to wait for the latter, it just means that it takes longer for the audience to see the better versions of my videos.

This also means you might not see the immediate increase of quality to the Demo video. I have decided to max out quality on these videos due to them being smaller than Thief levels and thus easier to manage (plus Thief doesn't have high resolutions in the vanilla game). That means 1080p for Quake! I have no idea if you will notice any changes at the time of writing this, but it is good for experimental purposes.

Another neat feature of Dailymotion is the ability to download videos by default, including the source file. Even though I deleted the original video file, I can now download it in order to have a backup in the event that this new one is actually somehow worse. Please check out the link again (as said before, a nice feature is the ability to replace videos with better versions) and make sure I didn't do something stupid. By the time you see this, you might be able to watch it in the amazing look of 1080p. - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1sfbyd_official-quakewiki-video-quake-demos_videogames
