Widescreen Gaming Forum

This one is my first 25 minutes from start to the end of the first chapter, also if your monitors width is larger then 1920 pixels and you have lots of bandwidth, set the quality to original and play the video in full screen for a much higher quality.

BTW, that ending far surpasses the ending of the last one, and how many other people found them 4 turrets earlier?

Warning video does contain spoilers.

Copy paste of video description:
Portal 2 on the PC, Original resolution was 5040x1050 aspect ratio of (48:10), note, this video contains spoilers. If you are running a resolution with a width higher then 1920 (30'' monitor or multi monitor) set quality to original and view in fullscreen.

The video is from game launch, though the whole first section of the game 25 minutes in total. I've also put my usual annotations about how the game preforms with three screen, my thoughts etc and opinions on the game.

wow youtube took the video @ 5040x1050?? and will play that resolution as well..

Every time I try to upload a eyefinity video in the original size of 5870x1200 or larger it fails to convert, I always have to resize it to 1920 width for it to accept it, it wont even take 1920x1200 single screen videos for me. I have to be sure to record in 16:9 aspect and send single screen videos as 1920x1080

Wonder if between 5040x1050 and 5870x1200 there is a point that it will/will not take a video.

Not quite, while I did try 5040x1050 and it did accept it the original quality button just played green, so it didn't work, but I did a bunch of tests and found that it doesn't like H264 encodes larger then 1080p, so mine is XVid.

Hmm so thats the key. I do not even know a good xvid encoder anymore been using x264 for the longest to encode H264. Youtube even recommends that codec.

I should clear up what I just said, there are actually two different issues there, firstly You Tube wouldn't process a H264 video recorded at really high resolutions, it just failed (also XVid is a codec that encodes H263 or MPEG4). Secondly any videos I uploaded at 5040x1050 just turned green on original resolution, You Tube ether couldn't or wouldn't compress or play at that resolution. How I managed to get it to work is in the title of the You Tube video.

Any luck getting the crosshair back, or fixing the stretched loading screens?

I wouldn't hold my breath on the loading screens, but there I've read some solution for getting the crosshair back. I played for two hours before i noticed it wasn't there, so i jsut prefer to not have it now. Maybe if it was smaller.. But at least you can tell which portal color you fired last by the dot on the top of the portal gun.

Love the original size, makes it really easy to preview how it looks like on the full size :rockout
