Title: MiA server vids
Post by: Stealer on August 04, 2021, 23:32
Lo all, just thought I'd link a few vids from games on the servers, feel free to post others; thought I'd congregate them in a place on the forums. I couldn't see a thread for them: correct me if I'm wrong. Got quite into recording this since Miauzz posted some :) and my system can actually handle it!  ::)



On another note does anyone know why youtube is shrinking my pixel screen size? It's definitely much more high def in the AMD player!

**Edit I hadn't noticed the HD version is processed after, sorry I was a noob at this.

Cheers Caracal. I dabble in VCTF occasionally, was more an ONS player than TDM or freon :) I'll upload vctf vids I do to that thread instead 8)

Right click "stats for neards" -> "Codecs" -> avc1...

Right click "stats for neards" -> "Codecs" -> vp09...

Same here "Codecs" -> vp09...


So you want the vp09 codec .. youtube will may do that when the bitrate is over ~25 MB/Sec .. seems that sometimes over 20 MB/Sec is also enought to trigger that. (thanks to "Unreal Piggy") .. Note the ONS video takes ~ a whole day to convert from youtube for that. And the 1 minute clip took ~5 hours. But it will never as good as the original in quality.

Thanks Blub, been tweaking the settings, was rather jealous of Miauz quality (respect sir).

Yeah you are correct on that one, think we commented in game regarding that  ;) 8)

what are you guys using to make vids?  i used to use fraps 99 but that now requires payment for the privilege,  i have tried obs but the killed the game - fps dropped to 20 which was like oh dear.  I have also tried the in game demorec but i cant find the program i used to use to convert to avi/mpg - the in game convert to avi is ridiculously slow.

any help would be appreciated.

*I think* there is some function that exports every demorec frame as bmp, then you use some program to make them into a video.

Yes, buts its very, very slow and has no sound. The speed also is depending how fast your HDD is able to saving every frame in BMP. Preferable is to do this in window mode.

to start start (warning: game can respond slowly after plying the command below)
fixedfps 30|dumpframes start

to stop stop
dumpframes stop|fixedfps


This you can use ffmpg to combine the thousands of BMS's which takes many, many, MANY gigabytes.

The example i use:


ffmpeg -start_number 13321 -r 70 -i t:\temp\ut2004movie\Shot%d.bmp -c:v libx264 -preset slow -crf 18 -r 60 t:\output.mp4


ffmpeg
-start_number 12321 # start screenshot number BPM file.
-r 70 # rated recorded frame rate (somehow for me it takes 70 frames for one second.)
-i t:\temp\ut2004movie\Shot%d.bmp # input file name, (%d means 001,002, 003 ext.)
-c:v libx264 # x264 codec
-preset slow # slow preset
-crf 18 # Constand quality
-r 60 # output framerate
t:\output.mp4 # output location/name


To records in a bit higher rate change in ut2004.ini under [Engine.DemoRecDriver] the following setting.
NetServerMaxTickRate=120
LanServerMaxTickRate=120

But the less time consuming is to use a GPU / capture card which can encode on the fly.

You can pm me a (high tick-rate) demo so I can try to convert it to mp4 using Nvidia NVENC.

I just use ATi catalyst suite (Part of the AMD GFX Driver bundle) it seems alright, requires tweaking though.

For screen recording the best and most convenient tool is Geforce experience - Shadowplay. If you have NVidia card.

True. Ironically the track I was trying to link was "braindead", I might have had a moment of clarity in my drunken stupor  :))
