Music Name:
"Caffein OBand"


====Recording====
Fraps 3.4.7
Settings: 30FPS - No Cursor - Stereo

====Editing====
Intro and Outro is done with
Sony Vegas for cropping the video and letters.

It is exported as .MOV using the Avid Quicktime DNxHD codec with
settings:RGB level - Alpha:None - Resolution: 1080i/59.94 DNxHD 220 8Bit.

The intro and Outro as well as the fraps videos are now imported
to Cyberlink Power Director 10 Ultra,here I do my sig name and fades to each scenes.

After I finish with my editing I Produce the entire video using either the M2ts or MP4 using a custom hack tweak
profile that I tweaked.
The hack profile I use are exported in 100MBit rates instead the locked version of 26Mbrate,I do this to get
a best HD raw quality as possible to do my final Encode with Vidcoder.

Youtube now states in thier video user guide that a 1920x1080 @30FPS has to have a minimum of 8Mbitrate video to upload for great quality.

====Vidcoder 64Bit version====

Cropping: all set to Zero's.
Video Filters' are all set to OFF.
Video codec:Using the H.264(x264) with AVG bitrate(kbs) 8000 its a 8Mb,for really fast moving video use either 10000(10MB) or 12000(12Mb).
Frame rate set at souce,in this case 30FPS do not use anything over that especially 60FPS, you will get ghosting effect on your videos and stutters
on Youtube.

ipod5 G support,this stops the youtube nagging about the audio sync error when you upload.
