Nice pic USRanger!

Music I used was:
Music: Track 10 "The Citrine Cross"
Soundtrack from the Movie The Da Vinci Code.
Game sounds from Waffle's Sound Pack.

I added a few sounds but most of what you hear is from the game. You can actually hear the different pitches in the engine due to the throttle constantly being adjusted throughout the fight. You can also hear that Yak's gun as he tries to nail me in my head! If you have a subwoofer, it's more noticable that way.

The weather effect turned out good as well.

Thanks for the responses, glad to help with those withdrawals JB11 and it's cool to get your first post PaddyD.

This one was another fun one to make.

I really loved this movie, for what people said, its message, and just for the plain old fun action!

15/10 Great job!

Agent360,
I recorded at a resolution of 1360x768.
I then cropped the video to 852x480. By cropping, I mean I am cutting out some video, not resizing it.
I then render the film at 852x480 (24fps, less frames per second means more data per frame, which means better quality per frame)
Codec: Windows Media Video 9 Professional Constant Bit Rate of 1.5Mbps (2 pass). 2 passes makes a big difference in improving the quality when using a low data rate.
Audio is regular 192kbps stereo 48khz sample rate.

Sony Vegas 5.0 was used to edit the film.

You can always download from microsoft, their program that will encode video files to their codec. It's highly detailed and I'd recommend it if you are going to be using Windows Movie Maker. WMM doesn't allow many custome options for rendering. Be aware that encoding encoded files too many times will hurt the image quality.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Kermit,

Great film.

What is "fraps"?

Did you adjust your video settings to record at that resolution or is this what "fraps" does.

edit - I looked it up. http://www.fraps.com

Only works in windows vista. I have xp.

It makes great game videos though.

S!

Free version allows you to record 30 seconds at a time and it also put's it's name overlaid on all recordings at the very top. Run the software in the background and setup the software before using it. It's very simple to use.

I used the free version to make this film. I recently purchased the software for $37 for future use.

More of your questions can be found at their website.

Game runs at 1360x768, so fraps will record at that resolution. (You can tell it to record at 1/2 of your current resolution if your computer is too slow to record at full res.)

Edit:
It works for Windows XP too. Trust me, you misread their information.

Kermi how did you crop the film down from what you recorded in game so there was no text buffer etc.

Goldy, if you want to do cropping with WMM, I can not tell you how to do it since I don't know much about that program. I used a crop tool in Vegas.

Windows Media Encoder

In the past, I used this to encode and crop files. It's a very non-user friendly program and it took me awhile to get it to work. I'm sure there are other programs that are more user friendly to work with. It's free to download, assuming you have a legitimate copy of WinXP on your machine. PM me or start a new thread if you need further help. I'm sure you will have more questions after downloading the program. I'll help ya out.

Thanks Husky.

Here's a quick Poster for the film. If you haven't downloaded it, use that pic to get a glimps of the video quality.
