ModNation Racers General Discussion

[AngelG_No55_FTW]

After spending a whole day to set up my Blackmagic Shuttle I've uploaded a quality test video to YouTube. It shows a song that plays during races which didn't appear in the official soundtrack (shame, it's my favorite ModNation song) and not much else.

Video here and my channel is here. Please comment on video quality, possible improvements and ideas.

The video quality was great!  The audio would fade in and out, but I'm assuming that's because you were racing.  I can't really suggest anyway to improve it other than maybe exporting it to a 1080p resolution.

The music fading in/out is because it reacts to your racing (i.e. boosting, going off jumps...). As for exporting it to 1080p, it probably won't make a difference as ModNation Racers is natively rendered at 720p.

EDIT: Maybe I could put up a picture of the device, as some useless trivia:

Here's also some info for the REALLY tech savvy (it'll be indecipherable to many of you, so it has been spoilered):

This white box captures raw uncompressed video from my PS3, consuming ~8GB per minute of footage. It then gets reencoded in H.264 via a program called HandBrake. The resulting video is FAR smaller (in the posted example, before encoding with the quality settings I use it akes up 35GB of space. After encoding it becomes 420MB, with a bit rate of roughly 13.5mbps.) and will then be used in video editing software (in my case, Windows Live Movie Maker just for cropping a few bits of it). Finally, it gets exported into YouTube. However, the video on YouTube looks a good deal more pixelated than it does before upload, is there a way around this?

quality is good  and also

you could use Xilisoft Video Converter and convert the video to flv format with your own bitrate settings and then upload to youtube since youtube only re-encodes non flv video
