A Promo Video for Ryzom - IDEAS FOR RYZOM

#16 Added by Markanjio 1 decade ago [en]

If you don't already know Acridiel's videos, you should seriously watch those ones:

What are Ryzom's strengths compared to a crowded MMO market?

And that's a good question. Ryzom has both advantages and drawbacks and, unfortunately, one of the drawbacks being the 10 years old graphical engine, it's quite hard to convince new players to give Ryzom a try.

Yes, I't was totally hilarious, and I loved it. Not sure its exactly what we are trying to promote for the game though, lol. I think the First video was closer to that.
Just a thought too, if a promotion video is made, I think it would be good to do it in the highest resolution possible. These videos were well made, but it seemed a little blurry from Youtube, not sure if it was uploaded that way or what for memory reasons, or if thats the clearest a video can be made?

Back then Acridiel had some trouble with disc space and upload-bandwidth so most videos were made as small as possible (filesize)

happened across a program that will take video, called "FRAPS", it's a fps program, but offers a way to make videos of ANY game running directX or openGL. just a thought for those that wanted to make a video, not sure if it works on mac or linux, but it's a place to start i guess.

Yup, I used fraps to record treks, it can record voice too if you need that, it's pretty ok.

Just a caveat, its videos use a lot of disk space .. think 4 gb segments for each 2m:30s, you can easily fill a smaller hard drive.

what format does it save in? whats the file extension for the 4GB segment?

Ok, I picked a recent file. According to Wikipedia, this is a pretty standard size because of the encoder .. and you can't use a different one.

Any way I could download that file to play with it? I might be able to significantly decrease its size whilst retaining its quality.

i was just thinking about that, and yes, a google drive would allow a person to upload the file, and then share the file with another person, all that takes is a gmail account, which most everyone has, and it's free too (google drive is limited to i think 10gb's) {there are also programs that will split large avi files into smaller chunks based on the size you tell it, it would still be a 4gb file, but could be cut into 8 chuncks of 500mb}

hope that helps.
