x264 with crf around 20, 1280x720, 30fps. Rather good quality/size ratio imo.
XviD lacks some of the more advanced macroblocking features that really help with compressing stuff like osu videos.



Also protip if you want to cheat youtube with 1080p videos:
Record it at 1600x900, resize to 1920x1080, nobody will see the difference when its uploaded.

Then again the quality difference between 720p and 1080p is pretty minimal on youtube so why bother.

I dl Fraps, but it only makes 30 second videos... I'm assuming it's because it's a trial version. -_-

Any free screen capture programs?

You can choose whether or not the numbers appear on the corner in FRAPS. Go to FPS, and in the box that says 'Overlay Corner' you can choose which corner to have it in, or turn it off. That could be off. The thirty seconds thing is because you have the trial version. Either find/steal a registration key, or pirate it, hah.

Also, I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread, but Sony Vegas can NOT read audio from .avi files. Or well... at least 8 can't. Not so sure about nine.

It can, it just depends on the audio codec used, Anyway, Virtualdub FTW~ And Sony Vegas for professional editing :)

Vegas Pro 9.0c sure can.

At least from the fraps raw videos (where audio is 1536kbps LCPM)

As a more compressed format I either use Vorbis (aoTuV b5d) or MPEG-4 AAC (Nero)

Quoted for truth

Also, if someone is feeling randy and willing to explore the exciting world of commandline apps:

x264 now has some built in audio encoding features!

Patched builds by JEEB:
http://x264.fushizen.eu/

Only needs the .exe and Quicktime to be installed (cause aac > others)
Create a .bat file to the directory where the x264.exe is with this line:
x264 --preset veryslow --level 41 --crf 20 --colormatrix bt709 --force-cfr --acodec qtaac --aquality 54 --asamplerate 44100 --acodec-quality 2  --output "PAT TO OUTPUTFILE.mp4" "PATH TO INPUT VIDEO.avi"
The one I used last for example, looks like this:


Now double click the .bat and this window will pop up (first it'll index the input video, though)
After a while (depending on cpu power) you'll have a nice video ready for uploading.

By changing the preset (available ones are ultrafast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow and placebo) you can affect the speed of the encode (slower the preset, smaller the file) and by changing the value of crf you can affect the quality of the video, thus affect filesize (0 being best quality, lossless mode, 51 being worst quality. Sane range is 16-24)

Watch this video and/or PM me if you have questions/issues/difficulties/downs/bad case of loneliness, I'd hate to totally hijack this thread ;)

I used FRAPS and Virtualdub, from viewtopic.php?p=252802#p252802
and got this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aTaktjvzwI

Its 960x720, instead of 1280x720. Is there any large effect since I don't have a 720p option, or am I missing out something?

Oh never mind, it didn't appear because the video wasn't fully processed yet.

Here's another quick tip when recording.

Reduce the effects sounds because it will make the sound well...sounds bad. Reduce it to half will do

  1. Fraps

Now, go make videos and spread osu!

I tried using Windows Movie Maker to convert the video but I don't think the quality was that bad.

I got everything fine, except for the fact that when I try to look at the video recorded by Fraps using MPC, the volume is really low and it sounds like trash, I got Realtek drivers.

Well no audio now, Stereo Mix isn't muted, etc.

Make sure your speaker volume isn't low as well. I noticed that if your speaker volume is low, then the volume of the recording will be low as well.

Hi a quick question: I've saved a replay in half-time but I want to record and play it in normal speed.

Is there a way to play this replay in normal speed on osu so that I can record it?

Nope, but you could record the video in half-time and then speed it up! But that's kind of cheating.

Yeah well, I thought of that but I'd rather speed it up on osu then record it... my vegas tends to give problems when increasing video playback speed :S

So, after many annoying attempts at trying to record osu! and failing, I tried to find the root of the problem.

Turns out that my aux hard drive (5400RPM) was not fast enough to write the frames that FRAPS was recording, resulting in a stuttering framerate. Once I switch to my faster 7200RPM drive, everything ran like butter.

I thought I'd share this in case anyone is encountering a similar problem.

I have a 5400rpm drive (WD Scorpio) and 720p29.97 works all fine. Of course 1080p/60fps will lag.

Yeah I've a 7200rpm WD HD as well but I was recording in 1080p (who doesn't like full hd vids especially when the effects on osu are so nice?)... so it figures :roll:

Ah well I'll try 720p then...

No I get lag when I record. With FRAPS just open (yellow FPS meter at top) then it runs just fine. I'll mess with the settings and see if that helps. Thanks! ^^

If you experience lag only when recording its either your computer not able to run the game while recording or the output drive not being able to handle the 100-200Mbps write speeds.

I'm trying to make PiP(picture in picture) but it won't work.
In video preview(before rendering) all looks ok.
But after rendering i'm getting something like this.

If so, avisynth works mighty fine.

FadeIO2(30, color=$000000)
I need to sync those videos.
I re-converted the video that was causing problems in VirtualDub and now it's rendering in pip in vegas.
Seems that vegas doesn't want to work well with vid compressing format of my cam o.o
//edit
rendered and now all is good :3

I assume you mean encoding the video with a gpu encoder or some other hardware accelerated solution.

If you're ok with the quality/filesizes it outputs, sure. GPU encoding solutions are hardly the most efficient ones though, mind you.

I have problems with recording, my osu slows down like hell and looks like I suck like hell.

Edited my post. I should have used the BBCode rather than taking workarounds. =_=;;

@koentie: Have you tried turning down graphic settings? You might wanna use "Low-end PC" and 640×480 resolution on the Options menu to be able to record using Fraps while retaining the 60 FPS.

My sister's laptop (yes, even crappier than yours) can record with Fraps just fine.

Another thing which completely destroys your performance while using fraps is recording on the same hard drive you have your game on. Granted, it's only a minor hit cause osu! doesn't really take up that much resources, but it's still a hit.
Also if the hard drive is old, you might encounter some framerate drops out of nowhere.

Making them spoilered still loads them IIRC, so that won't help. I also don't think this whole forum should adjust because some people with ancient hardware can't browse them with optimal speed.

lol seriously, 'not windows movie maker'. Windows Movie Maker is simple and quite good. Check out my HQ osu! videos :p http://www.youtube.com/user/Elit3noob?feature=mhee
It certainly has improved, but what kind of filesizes are you getting for a ~3 min 720p30 file that is perceptually lossless?
From 75mb to 300mb, but once i have finished uploading via Window Movie Maker, i open the 'temp' folder and delete the file so that it doesn't take up space on my hard drive

I can recommend VHScrCap (VH Screen Capture Driver) or Xsplit Broadcaster.

I do know xsplit is being used primarily for livestreaming, but it also has the feature "Local Recording"

Highly reommendable!

Thanks for the guide!

Aproxx 3 minute map:
Fraps: 2.2GB
After Sony Vegas> .mpg: 135mb

I changed osu! resolutions to 640x480 though, so the video quality isnt the best, but enough for me ;)
..now If only my upload speed was faster than 0.3kbps

I used "template" = DVD NTSC instead of HDV 720-30p
It probably so big because its DVD?

Well MPEG2 is generally grossly inefficient compared to MPEG4 encoding. And that DVD template probably gives it the max bitrate specified in DVD spec, thus unnecessarily bloating it.

If you feel adventurous you can always read up on x264 and figure out how it works (Avisynth + x264 is pretty simple once you get the hang of it) or you can read Jeffro's quide on how to use x264vfw with Virtualdub as it uses a simple gui instead of a command line app.

I'll try MPEG4 with 720-30p next time then :)
- Thanks!
I'll have a look at the guide next time I record, the lower I can get the file the better. I think it took about 40minutes - 1 hours to upload this vid to youtube <_<

this is how i make my
HDV 1080-60i (1440x1080; 29,970 fps)

then i render it as Windows Media Video V 11 (.wmv)
8 MBps HD 1080-30p Video

A video that is 5 mins will only be 300 MB and its still full HD (1080p) with really good quallity :)
