Acutlly i believe it's just the downscaling issue can be fixed for a clean picture but the guy used the wrong resize filter
Spline64Resize(960,540) would do best for the 2 vids then to splice them together.
this can easily be done in megui with avssynth without an high end editor like vegas

clip1=AVISource("D:\1.avi")+AVISource("D:\2.avi")
clip2=AVISource("D:\2.avi")+AVISource("D:\1.avi")
StackHorizontal(clip1, clip2)
Spline64Resize(1920,540)
AddBorders(0, 270, 0, 270)
ConvertToYV12()

something like that initial test seem to show the issue is lack of bitrate/complexity by youtube transcoder.

Your kidding, right? HAVE YOU WATCHED ANY OF THE BATTLE REPORTS? If not then go to Starcraft2.com and watch them NOW. See his pwning abilities. He is the master of SC2 right now.

I actually didn't have to resize--I just set FRAPS to half-size recording and the game resolution to 1900x1200 (so half would actually be 960x600). I've since learned that 1920x1080 is actually better for SC2 at the moment, so any future vids I do will be in 1920x540 unless Blizzard makes 16:10 resolutions have more viewable area.

Thanks for the megui/avssynth tip. I was using Premiere but this option is much more appealing. Is there a way to join files in the same script? Part of the difficulty of this method is that there's going to be at least four files for any video over something like 3:30 in length since the FRAPS filesize limit is 4GB.

I think the difficulty in doing it is that it runs off battle.net and the time aren't perfect in sync even after editing there is some sort of timing issue i sync it in the begging but then the middle to end get de synced not sure if it's battle net or because my fps on my recording wasn't capped lower.

Also i did join files in the script

clip1=AVISource("D:\1.avi")+AVISource("D:\2.avi")
clip2=AVISource("D:\2.avi")+AVISource("D:\1.avi")
StackHorizontal(clip1, clip2)
Spline64Resize(1920,540)
AddBorders(0, 270, 0, 270)
ConvertToYV12()

clip1=AVISource("D:\1.avi")+AVISource("D:\2.avi")
Clip1 is the first pov
consisting of the 2 files found at location D:\ named 1.avi and then 2.avi if you had a 3rd vid it would become
AVISource("D:\1.avi")+AVISource("D:\2.avi")+AVISource("D:\3.avi")
That is how you join files together in avsynth
The use of clip1= is just for the stackinghorizontal command part of the script

I just rename my clips 1.avi 2.avi 3.avi etc. it easier to use the same scripts for everything that way.

You could also rewrite the script in many forms as avsynth is a kind of pesudo programming language you can do quite a bit editing with it.

Like this is just for combining files for 1 game
AVISource("D:\1.avi")+AVISource("D:\2.avi")+AVISource("D:\3.avi")+AVISource("D:\4.avi")
ConvertToYV12()

You could do that in 2 files and use something like this
with 1.avs being the script for pov 1 and 2.avs being the script for pov 2
a=Import("D:\1.avs")
b=Import("D:\2.avs")
a=a.Spline64Resize(960,600)
b=b.Spline64Resize(960,600)
a=a.AddBorders(0, 240, 0, 240)
b=b.AddBorders(0, 240, 0, 240)
StackHorizontal(a, b)

I figured that might be the case, thanks

Was Dkim a pro SC player before this? Is that why he got the job at Blizzard?

Born in Korea but no he wasn't a SC pro, he worked as a balance designer for Relic until he moved to work for Blizzard.

umm... his spire was actually building when your obs sat at his base.
i suppose it's just a little tricky to notice the zerg buildings until you get used to it

As i saw from the Arbiter - Nazgul training game, 5 phoenixes totally rape 10 mutas, with like 2.5 phoenixes left. As for the corruptors, they can be countered with stalkers i suppose (being armored). Besides, a corruptor-heavy zerg has nothing to counter a zealot/immortal attack (corruptors can still hit colossii, right?)

Wow. A game that didn't involve quick Queen larva and chrono boost/warp gates abuse actually resembled something close to a SC:BW game. Maybe there is some hope for this game.

You can't expect solid standard play from a game, much less a beta, when it's been out for what a week? When games are new and no-one fully understands the mechanics it's inevitable that rushing is the predominant gameplay.

he drew that post up in advance (he had one for every outcome) that isn't the real result. One of his premade posts just accidentally slipped into the thread

If you did not get to see the finals, you shouldn't be reading threads about Nony, since it's quite obvious that there's a big chance someone mentions something regarding that.

And also, he had the decency to spoiler his post. So now your quote is the actual spoiler. Somehow, you seem like the retard now.
