Regarding the entire series... I experimented with different formats and image quality, and ultimately settled on the XVid codec with 50% quality – it provides an acceptable picture with a relatively small file size (those who downloaded the videos could see this for themselves). Yesterday, I recorded a full game "from the start" as a test, playing alone and finishing in 4 minutes – a kind of blitz (no time to think about actions during the opponent's turn). So, a 1.5-hour "silent" video, even at this quality, takes up 500MB... If I were to record a real game with voice commentary, even a pause during the opponent's turn wouldn't prevent the video from becoming too large (and after engaging in contact, it's simply necessary to record during the opponent's turn as well, because a lot of information comes in at that moment, conclusions are drawn, and plans are made). Roughly, a full game with commentary would result in a file size of at least 2 GB, and that can only be transferred via DC or split into several archives, which significantly reduces the chance of it being downloaded.
Firstly, during editing, it's best to cut out the opponent's turns.
Secondly, downloading a file is not a problem at all, no matter its size; there are many people with unlimited bandwidth and good speeds. For convenience, it's still better to split it into 2-3 archives, each weighing 600-700 MB, and upload them to the same narod.ru (fortunately, you can upload files there, up to 5 GB, and the download speed is also very good).
Thirdly, the file can be placed on torrents.ru (if needed, I can help with the implementation).
Fourthly, the audience who would enjoy watching videos of a good player is much larger and not limited to your website; believe me. And there are a lot of people with unlimited internet. So, I don't see any problems with transferring the file, as long as the players are willing.
