you can at least get fraps and do some recording and pass along the clips to someone who can edit.
its not so easy, you would not want to compress them and fraps videos are huge.
for a 2 minute video you would need 5 to 50 GB raw video, how would you send that?

No reason to not compress them, just pick a compression that won't make it look like shit.

You should know by now that nothing like this will get done if you just ask for it.
thats shouldnt be the case
get a better attitude.

shouldn't be but it is, doesn't matter what my attitude is. Seriously how often do requests actually get done around here, with the odd exception of a simple lua script? Almost never. And certainly nothing this big.

- I've already said if I could do it, then this thread would be me showing off my new video, not asking
- I've already helped dan after he asked for a script
- I don't have 50GB of space to spare right now
- I'm going on holiday within the next 12 hours for the week
- I have to find a job, somehow this ranks above figuring out After Effects and taking time to piece together the clips
- The primary benefactor of such a video is not myself, but you guys, yet you guys are the main obstacle right now to it getting done. Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot.

If somebody can find me a way to record Spring games with more than 15 FPS then I'll mash some stuff up.

Reduce your game sim speed to 0.25 then speed up the video afterwards and itll look like it was done in realtime.

Tell you what AF, if you want something recorded give me a replay, I'll fraps it.

If you read the script you'll see that the videos a minute long so I would need barely 20 seconds of each scene
but it's of no use because this all returns full circle to the problem of putting it all together. I know how to record videos of spring, I do not know how to do anything but the most basic of video editing, that and Im supposed to be going on holiday in 7 hours and can't get to sleep

the problem here is that if someone then wants to use the compressed format videos, they have to decompress and recompile, which always causes a loss of quality... there is no way to hold onto 100% quality via compression no matter how you figure it
that been said, IIRC FLV iirc is reasonably good at retaining quality for decompression, should you wish to pursue the option of using clips from others.
i dont mind post-processing a video, and hell, i can even edit it, its just the issue of the massive filesizes of uncompressed material
and from my own experience, 50 gigs isn't even THAT much video, not in terms of 1080p and having a useful amount of content that can then be broken down into quick cuts.
tribulex should do this, he's got cores out the wazoo

Figure this, for the second commentated video I made of evo at 1080p, it was 15 minutes long, and the filesize was slightly over 1 gig.
I have 1.5 mbit upload where I live now, which means I can upload that much without too much pain and agony, but I image the majority of the people here are probably on dsl or worse which has ubershit upload. When I finally move to california, I will have verizon fiber, which is a 20/5 connection. The moment I have 5 mbit upload, I'll be doing a lot more on the video front.

what did you use for capture? T guess something that compresses while recording? If its the build in capture of spring please tell used codec+settings.
Because for this 3 minute video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXFDm8DmuXA (oh a yt link, lets all click awesome) I had 11,9 GB recorded with fraps
having a useful amount of content that can then be broken down into quick cuts.
I think thats the problem. If someone knows what to look out for when recording, its only 10% more extra effort to put the clips together...
