    Dropping to even 30fps looks terrible; the images are just not smooth between frames like real-life video is, and interlacing doesn't do much to help the situation.

    A suitable codec for this job would be H.264 or as a second choice mpeg4 ,you could render a small part to see if the results are better.
    Mkv and flv are containers , it doesn't really matter for quality.
    A good choice for a t2se movie using H.264 is mp4(you could use mkv though).

    Problem is from a quick test i did , i found fraps disappointing but probably it was my pc struggling to keep fps on a decent level with high settings.

    Fraps needs a bit of extra performance, but you should be fine at lower resolution. I recorded all my youtube HD videos at 1280x768 using an old cheap *** Radeon 3850. Full HD (1920x1080) recording needs some serious graphics card muscle, but with the newest cards even Full HD should be easily doable at constant 60 fps.

    Yeah FRAPS does hurt abit, I normally play at 1440X900 but dropped it to 1024X768 to get an almost constant 60fps while recording with all details on.

    Any ideas of what sort of file size I should aim for if re-compressing?

    That was probably the best fan-made film/teaser? I have ever seen it felt like I was watching an animated Crusty Demons DVD. I really liked the part at 7:07 when he smashed his head lol.

    Now that I have seen it I would say leave it like this but you could also upload a 100-200mb poor quality one for people who just want to see it then they can get the better quality one if they enjoyed it.
    Another tip, try http://www.megaupload.com/ it has a 1gb upload limit, 60(?) second waiting time before download and (from my personal experience) you get less failed downloads from it with big files.

    Re: Lestropie - *.rep - UPDATE low-res available

    This is... umm... insane...

    I really couldn't imagine watching an 11 minute Trials video without getting bored, but with this, I wanted more. It's full of extraordinary skills and finished with amazing visual work. It also has a great soundtrack to go with it.

    The quality of the video is perfectly adequate for me, but the audio sounds... well... incredibly distorted. The clipping just sounds bad, and I could imagine a bit of dynamic range adding a lot more impact where it's due.

    Overall, I'm very impressed. I've watched it several times now and will, without a doubt, watch it several times more!

    Good work!

    Wow i thought the disappearing/reappearing rider in the beginning was great! Great editing. The progressive metal was a good fit too. I was not surprised by the outstanding skills because everyone knows you are a robot.

    Hmmm... Both versions sound OK on my machine... I don't sense any clipping, although I agree I could have fiddled with the dynamic range a bit. Try using a different program in case your video player isn't picking up the audio correctly; VLC is definitely the best choice.
