Following up on the topic of ranged units: we're currently playing a tournament match against Lebron, and I recorded one of the battles. I uploaded it to a file-sharing service; hopefully, it will load faster from there. broken link

Regarding the entire recording... 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 (there's no time to think about actions during the opponent's turn). So, a one-and-a-half-hour "silent" video, even in this quality, takes up 500MB... If you record a real game with voice commentary, even a pause during the opponent's turn won't save the video from becoming too large (and after starting the game, it's simply necessary to record even during the opponent's turn, because a lot of information comes at that moment, conclusions are drawn, and plans are made). Roughly, a full game with commentary will 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.

I liked the video, thanks Dirty_Player. I would like to see a video with a difficult starting position, not such an easy one. I would also like to see more turns, more challenging battles (in my opinion, easy battles can be completely cut out to save space), and a faction with a difficult starting position (like Inferno, for example). To Mizrael: I'm sure people will download it even if it's 2GB if it's a good walkthrough. The main thing is to record it and upload it somewhere. =

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.
Let me offer some suggestions.
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.

first, it's better to cut out the opponent's moves during editing.
Either you didn't read my previous post carefully, or you're not familiar with the topic – you can simply skip the opponent's turn by pausing the video, but after the contact with the opponent, HIS turn is no less interesting to watch than your own.
secondly, downloading the file is not a problem at all.
Not everyone has unlimited data and not everyone has a good internet connection, so speak for yourself.
Regarding the topic – I plan to record a video soon, approximately 3-4 weeks long, using the same principle as the 4-minute blitz without an opponent. Considering that attention to the voice commentary during the game is quite distracting, I think it's better to record it after the video is ready or even upload it as a separate audio track (many players already have the function to connect an external audio track). And then, based on the download results, we can judge how much demand there is for it.

I'm not just speaking for myself; this has already been proven. On sc2tv, the download rate was incredibly high. And my torrent distribution is also being downloaded well.

Regarding the opponent's turns – it would still be more interesting to have a game with a real opponent, to the very end, rather than just 3-4 weeks. Thank you

I think so. If you record the entire match, it's better to divide the video into 4 parts, one for each week. This way, everyone can download and watch what they need. Ideally, both opponents would record the video and insert their moves alternately. That would be great! And the size, as they say, is not a problem. People can download even gigabytes of good video. I'm not very good with compression, but I've read that you can use some codec to make 1 minute of full-screen video with voice commentary weigh only 1 MB. But I'm not very good with software, so I apologize.

One request for those who create videos: please state the number of units, as this is important information, especially if they are not visible due to low image quality.
For example, I have never played Fortress online, so I don't know how many Goblins there are under the following conditions: it's the first week, there are two hideouts, and the Goblins are not being lost anywhere.
Thank you.

If you watch carefully, you can see them.
In any case, having two channels of information compared to one significantly improves comprehension.

Let's continue with the video topic: this is my first long video. Nothing special, just two weeks of gameplay as Fortress without any cheats. The video is more of a test (in terms of image quality), so those who download it, please leave comments: is it worth improving the picture (which would, of course, increase the file size), is the voiceover okay (I'm not a professional voice actor after all)? And so on.

Part one. Size: 115 MB. Duration: 25:48. Format: mp4 (MPEG-4).
Part two. Size: 134 MB. Duration: 29:02. Format: mp4 (MPEG-4).

Itka, I present to your attention my first video. The video is aimed at beginners. I would be interested to know your opinion :)
http://ifolder.ru/13505196 - part1
http://ifolder.ru/13505091 - part2
The video is divided into 2 archives. Duration is 46 minutes, size is 176 (91+85) MB.
I'm waiting for your comments. Don't judge too harshly!
I really liked the video!! I will gladly download any sequels of any size! Thank you very much! I actually found the link on a portal (I mostly hang out there) where LeBron posted it, so a separate thank you to him!! Your work is useful and worthy! If possible, continue in the same spirit!!

Let's continue the video topic: this is my first long video. Nothing special, just two weeks of playing Castle without any cheats. The video is more of a test (in terms of image quality), so I ask those who download it to leave comments: is it worth improving the picture (which will, of course, increase the size), is the voiceover normal (I'm not a professional voice actor after all :)), etc.

Part one. Size: 115 MB. Duration: 25:48. Format: mp4 (MPEG-4).
Part two. Size: 134 MB. Duration: 29:02. Format: mp4 (MPEG-4).

I watched it!! I can only say one thing - SUPER!
The video and sound quality are quite decent, although for me personally, the file size doesn't matter. I'm all for better quality (I have a 22-inch monitor and watch in full screen), but it's quite good as it is! My hands are itching to try it! Respect and kudos to the author! Keep creating! I'll take EVERYTHING!
P.S. And if you record a match between two masters with their commentary, and alternate the video day by day, it will be like a whole movie (For me, it will be better than any modern bestseller)!!!

Everything is great, 10/10 :)

It's just that Rapidshare is a pain,

will be better and more convenient, and they also support larger file sizes.

Thank you very much for the video.
The video quality is acceptable, but it could be better. And to save megabytes and time, you could cut out simple battles: just show who you attacked and immediately show the results of the battle.
However, as the previous speaker said, Rapidshare is really annoying (I still can't download the second part because I have a dynamic IP and I keep getting an error, as if I'm already downloading it:mad:)

I've watched Mizrael's video three times already, but unfortunately, only the first part – the second one can't be downloaded, apparently due to the IP address, as someone mentioned here:( ...

What I'd like to say is – everything is great, the picture quality is generally good, and the voice acting is decent (Dirty's was also good, but a bit quiet:)). The gameplay style is original: it's like "there are no small details – everything is important":). I just don't understand why you choose Caitlin as the starting hero?:smile50: And if someone like Mephala doesn't show up in the tavern, what do you do?;) Valkyrie is quite playable if you know how, like a backup option in case there are no other candidates, but Caitlin – that's unlikely...:rolleyes:

But overall, thank you! I'm watching these VODs, and I see that I had a prejudice about using all the available heroes, thinking that you always need to fill all the slots:D, but now I know how the veterans do it...
