    [VIDEO] Becomming Arena Master (lvl 10) quickly

    Hey I'm hoping this will be appreciated

    Obviously nothing special, but its the quickest way to get to level 10.
    Honestly it still was very boring, but yeah this will save you time.



    Using GL-A87 should enable you to complete all rounds in about 3 min and have about 1400 points.
    Enjoy.

    Could you tell me please, what capture/compression software do you use? And what are your settings/codecs etc.?
    This video has the best quality for its file size ratio I ever saw, I still can't get such results...
    Thank you.

    Hey,

    I own a Nvidia GTX 780 and it comes with a recording feature (shadowplay)
    Well its recorded at 60fps, 50MBs and using H.264 for audio.

    Although for some reason the video seems to have bad audio quality maybe its me cause other video's sound better.

    Game is played on Ultra with custom settings btw
    Other then that, this is web quality game looks better on the original size, but at 50MBs a video of 2:52 is already nearly 1GB in size.

    Thanks for the answer, mate!
    Actually, I have 780 Ti myself. I will try shadowplay...

    But meantime I found out that x264vfw compression with VirtualDub produces much better results than Handbrake MP4 I tried to use before...

    H.264 is pretty much the standard for high quality with decent compression. I am using Shadowplay on a 770. For Source engine games Shadowplay does not work. So you can't use it to take video on games like Insurgency or Half Life 2. For that I use OBS, but it doesn't have the shadow capture capability. You have to set hot keys, then run it before you do what you want to capture.

    This file was uploaded as the orginal recording btw so it was 1gb in size.
    But if I edit a clip to either make it shorter or shrink the file size.

    Then I just use Windows Movie Maker as I shrink it usually to a bitrate of 24.000kbs 1920x1080 and 60fps
    I always use a hotkey to start my recordings and it works great on source games such as CS GO infact it works on every game I enjoy Shadowplay allot.

    It can also be used to stream, but I gave up on the stream life.
    All people do is giveaways to get viewers or they are a girl.
