I'm not a TTV, streamer, anything, or whatever. I just play on my Xbox. I have no other capture device than what is provided on my Xbox. I live rural and our internet provider, Suddenlink, sucks around here. I can game online but can't stream or upload, etc due to bandwidth.
Xbox has options for recording as far as picture quality and length which will affect what can be recorded. I have the picture quality set low so i can record as long as 5 minutes. Here is a picture of my recording screen http://imgur.com/a/KZ5TB1o
So I play a game as Freddy Kruger. I destroy the team in short work. So short that it blew my mind, so i selected the maximum length "record the last 5 minutes" while i was waiting for the game to end. I couldnt tell how long the match was, just that it was quick.
Turns out my match was 3 minutes long which meant the other 2 minutes of recorded video was of the pre-game lobby and the loading screen. I sent this clip around to friends to show off.
Recently YouTube suggested i watch a video from Drowsey, where he earned a speedrun world record. This is how i learned about speedrun.com.
Now, i already tried submitting my video however it was declined for not showing the main menu. Since I cant directly message the mod because my account is not 7 days old still, I'm asking here.
Am I basically not allowed to submit because I'm not a streamer? I had a solid play as Freddy which woukdnt be top 3 fastest but because I'm limited to Xbox's recording options, I can only record as long as 5 minutes. And this was in an afternoon of playing for several hours so even if i could record longer, I dont go back to main menu unless I'm changing roles.
How am I to submit? I was told i need to re-submit with the main menu however I uploaded the entire video as pulled from my Xbox. I have no idea how I am to capture main menu, lobby, connecting, pre-game lobby, loading, and the full match with a 5 minute limit. I'm very proud of my performance in this match and having recently learned about speedrun.com and that dead by daylight is a category I really would like my time submitted on the list. How do I do that? Or is this exclusive to just people who are streaming on Mixer or TTV everyday?
Here's a picture of my Dead by Daylight career (xbox will not capture these xbox menu screens so i have to take pictures with my phone) http://imgur.com/a/fQ8gpUs I started playing before Ghost Face came out. I can capture footage of the main menu, however with my setup I won't be able to attach a game clip to that. I have no video editing software either and since I recorded that clip there has been a rank reset. The version number of my game has not changed because they have yet to release the mid chapter patch. I would really like to know what I need to do so I can get place on this list. Thank you
