Recording video from Sudden Strike + my youtube channel

[Last Soldier]

I finally found the easiest way how record footage from game.

Best solution:
Open Broadcaster Software https://obsproject.com/
- program is freeware and user friendly
- you can record high quality videos and save it as file or make live streams

For avoid recording additional sounds while recording (Teamspeak etc.)
- special mixers: http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Cable/ (freeware) or http://www.fox-magic.com/vac.php (paid), both do same thing


My channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lln6PVC ... w_&index=1
- videos are from RWM mod
- some of uploaded videos are with TS communication, if someone bothers I can remove it, anyway all new footages will be TS free
- Maybe in future I will add some post production effects, cuts, music, sounds etc. into new videos

Now im still fighting with poor Youtube encoding quality..

OBS - Configuration
1) Set source for recording
2) Video size settings (Sust native resolution is 1024x768)
3) Video codes settings - best quality (If you have newer graphics card from AMD or NVidia, they have special codecs like H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced media framework), What I tried, thry were ok and don't burden PC much.
4) Hotkeys (EDIT: how I found later, best key is "Scrolllock" because it have diode indicator on keyboard, so you know when is something recorded or not)

How to deal with poor youtube quality:
- record game in original resolution 1024x768

In video editor (Sony Vegas for example):
- rescale video to full HD 1920x1080 (with black borders)
- use youtube friendly codecs and settings (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en)
I use Sony Vegas and this extension - http://vegasaur.com/Video4YouTube

Unfortunately it seems that Youtube reencode video again.. Anyway now it's much better and with 1/2 file size:
