| Post subject: | Major Headache with 840X525 resolution |
Hi, I have two questions which I am hoping someone could help me with. Firstly, I have been using fraps to capture some ingame footage at half the native resolution of my monitor; 840X525 (native size 1680 x 1050). Ideally I would like to upload the video to youtube but unfortunately the file size is way too big. Are there any video converts that will compress this file down? I have searched for hours and can only find video converters with built in pre-sets which support phones, ipods, HD 16:9...but not user defined resolutions. Secondly, will the youtube player be able to handle 16:10 video ratios in it's new wide screen player? Will there be black lines above etc... Any help is greatly appreciated as this has been driving me mad. Regards, L |

Ideally I would like to upload the video to youtube but unfortunately the file size is way too big. Yes the files that come out of fraps are largely uncompressed for editing and whatnot. http://lifehacker.com/5058888/five-best-media-converters HandBreak and MediaCoder are both great easy to use converters. Heres some rough stats that I found to use MPEG-4: Video codec: h.264 Video bitrate: at least 2 Mbps preferred; 500 kbps minimum Audio codec: AAC Audio bitrate: at least 128 kbps Yes the youtube player will be able to handle 16:10 just fine, There will be small black bars on the top/bottom. |

If you want to cut down your recordings prior to encoding, use VirtualDub's Direct Stream Copy feature. |
