I don't really care that the handlingfiles were altered since it's kind of a storyline movie. But the Linkin Park tracks shouldn't have been there. I don't normally comment on the music as it's all personal preference, but LP is WAY too much used in gaming movies and it's not really a favorite, so it gets annoying really fast. You should have used a higher bitrate cause it would look alot better with more bits per second The bitrate and the LP tracks is all I can say is bad. Enjoyed it otherwise =) GJ!

I liked the movie. What's wrong with commenting on old stuff?

You should have done that ages ago! The only DivX that's looked good is 3.1.1, but XviD is looking better now, and is miles easier to control.

That ain't all that much dude. Any less and the image quality will totally suck!

I don't see what's so amazing about it. It was weird for sure, but not amazing. Amazing to me is when someone pulls of an extremely difficult stunt or get a very good time on a race etc.. Has to do with skill, not luck or glitches.

www.own-age.com is also a good site for gaming movies

I can't download it

700feet? Hm. I got three jumps longer than that in my movie (GTAG). If I post a link to a replay or a movie, will it be enough to beat the reacord?

Link not working for me

Nice stuff. Weird that most of the 360 is more like 270

A little quote is in order here I think: You should try and find music YOU like instead of what others like. Unless you are making something for someone else of course. Then they should try and find something they like

Maybe you should learn to spell before posting.

Ok =) I didn't get that on other movies so I was just curious =)

When I click this link: http://www.thegamersalliance.com/php/mo ... ery=flamez (which is the link [LsL]Dark posted), then I click on Details for the movie, and the next page I see says "I don't like you...". Anyone else get that? I'm downloading the movie though, just wondering if anyone else got that by clicking the Details link.

My point was that he wanted something faster, and if he hasn't tested the newest version, he could, cause it's supposed to be faster than the older versions of Fraps. And what you say applies to all software then. Doesn't it?

If I remember correctly, the newst version is supposed to work faster than the older ones.

A good filename would help out alot there

I don't think there is a tool for that. I wish there was though. But I might be wrong of course. I hope they fix a replay browser/organizer in the next GTA.

You rename them to replay.rep, then press F3 when you have loaded a game.

For XviD download and info, check the Doom9 XviD FAQ. Prokopis: LAME is just an MP3 encoder like Fraunhofer and Xing. So it's MP3 just like any other MP3, just MP3 encoded with the LAME encoder sounds better than the MP3s encoded with other encoders.

Here is a link for you. You might not agree, but I'll still use Mi and Ki So don't even bother starting a discussion about it as I will just ignore it Sorry. Mostly the movies that are very very good (gaming movies) are the ones that have a high bitrate and therefore big filesize. When I watch something, two things that really annoy me is low quality of picture and sound, which is why I go to great lengths to get those as good as I possibly can. And you can't really compare feature movies and series to gaming movies as you can easily get a 2 hour+ movie looking good on either 1 or 2 CDs, whereas a gaming movie with a resolution of 640x480 would look bad. Not only because of the higher resolution, but also the fact that there is usually much more movement in gaming movies than feature movies or series. And you also can't say that anything over 2000Kibps is senseless as it has also to to with what resolution is being used. And of course again, how much movement there is in the movie. In Q3 movies you need a higher bitrate to get good visual quality than if for instance GTA3/VC. A good example of this is that my GTA movie, GTAG takes 10.8GiB with the lossless encoder HUFFYUV, and it lasts for 17.46. I now have 12min 59sec worth of Q3 footage at the same resolution and framerate which take up the 10.5GiB. So the Q3 footage which is about the same size has almost 5 minutes less duration. But enough about that. You don't really need to post anything more about this subject, cause I won't change my opinion on it in any way. I see your point, and understand it, but I just feel differently about it cause I really like good looking movies. I also know I'm picky, which is why I don't complain when others have a lower visual quality than what I prefer, unless it's extremely bad/choppy etc.. Yes. I would love making a movie from other peoples replays/demos. Which is what I'm doing now and until the summer (gonna enter the contest over @ own-age.com with a movie I'm making after the one I'm doing now). And on Premiere Pro. I don't think it will work on W2k at all I think XP is a requirement But you should try Vegas Video which is supposedly fantastic. I'm gonna test it, and most likely use it for the own-age.com contest movie I'm making later.

Obviously there is a difference since I chose this filesize, and not one of the smaller ones. First I said it's a matter of tast, and then I said I really liked it (so it's obviously my taste). The fact that you don't like that kind of music is your taste, not mine. And the humor is also a matter of taste. I happen to think those commercials are very funny, if not, I wouldn't have used them in the movie. In the list you provided me with in an earlier post, and of those I checked, one of them had a higher bitrate than mine, but it had very bad visual quality and the action was very choppy. Among the others there were only two that had as smooth as the one in my movie, and one had the same resoluition, but it was very close to the bitrate I have in my movie. The other with smooth action had a lower bitrate, sure, but it had black edges around it, so the real resolution is 532x250, so the bitrate needed to get the same visual quality is lower. The rest had very low visual quality and choppy action. But you don't complain about those at all. Just mine because it's big. You don't seem to take in mind that the action is very smooth, it looks good and it's a long vid. Those thing sum up in high bitrate and therefore a big file. You can't compare regular series and movies to gaming movies when it comes to bitrate/filesize as gaming movies has usually has way more moviement per second than regular series/movies. So naturally the bitrate needed is lower to get good visual quality. And when I mentioned the amount of gaming movies I have, it was firstly because you did, and secondly and more important, to let you know that I've seen my share of gaming movies and lots of those, actually, just about all the best have a high bitrate. Here is a list of some of the movies I checked from your list which shows filesize, duration, resolution, MiB per minute and quality of the action in them: Moviename: time: size: MiBpm*: | res: | action: | quality: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GTAG: 17.46 / 325 MiB = 18.3 | 640x480 | smooth | good Ride'em, Tommy!: 10.08 / 158 MiB = 15.8 | 640x480 | smooth | good VoodooPeople: 06.20 / 140 MiB = 22.1 | 640x480 | smooth | pixelated, but ok sin_act1: 15.03 / 150 MiB = 10.0 | 352x240 | choppy | bad sin_act2: 20.38 / 205 MiB = 9.9 | 352x240 | choppy | medium stunt'd: 04.57 / 57 MiB = 10.2 | 640x300 | smooth | good (really 532x250 without black edges) AMPT Stunt Reel: 11.39 / 111 MiB = 9.5 | 352x288 | smooth | bad MiBpm = MiB per minute Maybe you should go over to sites like own-age.com and planetquake3.net and download the most popular movies and see what bitrate they use. And see if people actually complain that they are big, or are happy about the visual quality they have. So you really can't ask anybody. Ok. Thanks I downloaded some audio files from the Rockstar website, and two of them had this rap in it, and it was only called GTA Rap, so I figured that that was it's name. I'll update it's ID3 tag right away =)

http://www.somepirates.net/thx4info.jpg And to your second post: On the filesize: I did 5 different sizes, and this is the optimal for the visual quality I want. Maybe you need a better monitor if you don't see the difference at lower bitrates. And people do actually download my movies. If they don't, it's certainly not the filesize that scares them away. On the music. The intro/outro are the funnitest commercials IMO of the GTAVC 7CD soundtrack, and I wanted them in the movie. The GTA Rap is awsome and I listen to it very often. The other music is a matter of tast, and it's quite excellent. The Hives and The Mormones are two of my favorite bands (among others). I'm very well aware of that good music isn't necessary good movie music, but the music I chose for this movie is music I really love, and it's fast. And yes, lots of people who have watched it do love the music. I repeat: It's a matter of taste! Ok. I lied. I didn't make the movie only for me. I made it for me, _and_ my friends who also were in the movie. I uploaded it so other could watch also. And I did say enjoy, cause, of course I hope they enjoy it if they download it. But that doesn't mean I made it for them or _really_ care what they think. If they don't like it, ok, if they do, that ok also. And if you download other gaming movies fromanything than the ones posted in this forum you might see that there are quite a few movies with a high bitrate out there. I have almost 1500 gaming movies in my collection, so I do know what I'm talking about.

I don't mean to be rude here, but I don't create movies for others. I create it for my self, and I post it so others who might wanna see it can. If I ever do make a movie for someone else, they will deside how bit it should be, not me. And I rather have it look good and take a while to download, than a 10 min download and it looks like shit.

Thanks for the hosting Bloodymess13 =) Really appreciate it!
