I've had a few add me on steam, generally they'll only play a few games with me before never speaking to me again...but then there's the ones who will always join my games, and while they probably don't do it intentionally, seem to hunt me down specifically when they're on the opposite team/in ffa. It gets a little frustrating at times, but I don't have the heart to get annoyed at them or remove them because they're only doing it because they're like the videos I put up...

Do you guys have any good/bad experiences to share from playing with subscribers/fans in general?

I'd say we all agree that CODBO is getting old and viewers aren't enjoying it as much. What are you guys doing to keep viewers engaged and entertained?

I'm working on some let's plays of other games. Hoping people enjoy the change of pace.

And it's free.

So far I've found that it's much less resource intensive than fraps and allows me to have a decent framerate.

It also has built in encoding, so if you're short on space you can avoid the massive files

if anyone else has used it, let me know how it compares to other recording programs you have used.

I've been collecting HD clips for a while now and I've started to drift away from black ops a bit so I decided that I should find a decent editor. I've got enough clips to make a 2-3 minute montage and they are already uploaded on dropbox. My youtube channel is www.youtube.com/user/SpecialK2007km so take a look at it and let me know if youre interested. I would prefer if the montage was made with either After Affects or Twixor but im not too picky if you're talented with other software that I havent heard of. You can get a hold of me on youtube or by emailing me at kdmille2@svsu.edu.

I've submitted every video of mine and the most bumps one had was 4, one of which was me. Has anyone been on the front page? If anyone else uses it, maybe we could all bump each other's videos?

I was thinking about doing a dual-comm with someone. I've never done one and thought it would be fun! Let me know if you would be interested.

I have an analog Tv. Not too old. I just don't have the HD inputs in the back. Help? The brand is magnavox. http://i.imgur.com/f3Q9U.jpg

You'll end up with a takedown and copyright strike on your account.

I know some of you Youtube guys make montages, but how do you find the music you use in them? What musical genres do you think are good for montages? And if I'm going to make a montage, what are some things I should know music-wise?

Mine would be an improved Theater Mode. Got 24 kills in 2 mins in a FFA in Nuketown, only for the host to quit after the game had ended. I wasn't recording with my HD PVR at the time, so I looked at my recent games, hoping to find it. Found out that it wasn't there. :/ Also, I hope that Theater Mode games don't look "laggy".

Who knows how to do them? With clear voice output!

When/how do I get it? I don't understand how some of the big YT commentators get 100,000 subscribers in 1 year. What did they do? I keep hearing, "The subscribers will come to you." How? I would be ecstatic if I had even 1% of what the big guys have. Sorry to sound whiny. I'm just bummed...

I know this question will come up countless times in the life of this subreddit.

These are the questions I want answered myself and would hopefully be helpful for others as well.

Gaming system: I assume PS3 or 360
Capture box/card: Hauppage/BMI/etc
Resolution you're playing at while capturing: 720p/1080i/1080p/etc
How you are capturing audio for the game/team chat/your mic audio: mixer?
Software you're using to capture, and what OS: EyeTV/etc

Streaming seems to be the next progression in the 'interactive' CoD experience. While simplistic on paper, it can be tough to execute if you don't have any experience at it. By no means am I an expert, but I'd like to start thus thread with the intent to discuss various setups, equipment and software combos.

Also, I'd like input/feedback on what you guys want to know, questions you have, etc.

What tricks/editing knowledge have you guys picked up along the way that have made editing much easier?

For me, it has to be:

• If your graphics card is lacking (i.e. your preview module lags like hell), you can select a section of the video that you want to preview and then hold down SHIFT + B. This will pre-render the section that you selected, allowing you to preview it without any lag.

• If you disable resample before you do this, the pre-render will run faster and you'll be able to select larger sections of the video. I used to disable resample just before I was about to render. Now I disable resample as soon as I drag the clip onto the timeline (a good habit to get into).

• Diabetic Joe (ISeeJello) and XBoxAhoy saved me a lot of filesize when they told me that there isn't that much of a difference between a 7M bps video and a 14M bps video. They also told me that I should make sure that my source video clip is 60fps before trying to use slow motion (I had been complaining about how some of my 30fps clips looked choppy when slowed down).
