Idea for New Speedrun
Missouri, USA

The game i want to try to submit is Fingerbones. It is a short game, but it has potential for people to optimize routes and get better times.

My internet is terrible so i cannot upload my run to youtube and it would take 400+ minutes to upload it.

I can send someone the video if someone wants to look at it, and my run is not at all optimized perfectly, it has some room for improvement.

Thank you, andi recorded this with fraps, so its just the video, and when i tried to record the run with OBS to get Livesplit in with the gameplay, it lagged the hell out of the recording, so i just ended up recording it with Fraps. If you really want to get an idea of what the time of the run is, you can see that i stated it to be 57.47 (recorded with livesplit) or you can feel free to time it yourself. The run starts after my countdown and it ends when i click on the last note.

Thank you for your help and i hope my run gets put on the website :)

Doesn't fraps record in enormous file sizes?

I think you should be able to cut it down by a lot, just google for it and upload a much smaller file.

Fraps is terrible when it comes to video compression, a single 1hr video done is fraps will easily be over 4 times the size of a video recorded locally or w/e like OBS or XSplit. I use OBS for most things as the compression's can be changed and does a fairly good job of it. 4-6 hrs of video only ends up being about 2gbs or so depending heavily on quality just as a guideline. I have a drive of videos (currently 145 video files) that i recorded all at least 3 hrs long, and currently total size is 333GBs. thats about 2gb's each between 720p and 1080p HD local resolution, the actual ones that got uploaded or broadcasted were 3/4ths of the quality and resolution at about 2kb bit rates. Thats just some general information I can give on this. I also now use a capture card that further encodes what I'm recording before OBS does so that also helps allot, but to avoid any desync's or latency issues it boils down to how fast your CPU can process the information your sending and recording after its gone through encoding which can cause most of the problems if its being over worked at higher quality then it can keep up with. Not sure if any of what I said will help allot or not but hopefully it will give you some ideas how what you could look at or ask more specifically about to get things going the right way for you. Best of luck bud. <3

Thank you for the input MASH. I have started using OBS and it works great! Except for the fact that i have to change the video file so i can edit the video with movie maker. Other than that, i love it because i can record my Livesplit along with the game.

I'm glad that OBS is working well for you, if you need any help with is let me know or ask here, plenty of us can assist on that if your provide detailed enough information or even screen shots of what your doing or want to do. <3
