Recording Videos via MMORPGs (Tutorial Thread)
I made a thread over on the Aeria Website: http://www.aeriagames.com/forums/en/viewtopic.php?t=1269325
It has a comprehensive tutorial and reference chart for different video cards, etc. It also has a link at the bottom to an old version of ffdshow (which has MSMPEG4, which is needed for the tutorial.) You can get about 25 fps to 30 fps (still looks horrible) on MSMPEG4. Do not re-edit a 1080p video in Windows Movie Maker. WMM cannot handle 1080p, and will quarter size it when you try to re-export it as 1080p (causing huge black borders)

I've had good luck with 1080p exports using the new profiles in Windows Live Movie Maker, the version that comes with Windows 7.
http://PapaJohn.org released some profiles for use with earlier versions.
Thanks for this!

Note the huge black borders. The original video was 200 fps (because at the time, 60 fps made it look horrible, like, 20 fps.) and 1920x1080.
This was exported using 1920 x 1080 custom, because the built-in Windows Live Movie Maker profiles did not have any 1080p (1920 x 1080) at all.
Post this to the Windows Movie Maker Facebook group - that is a very active group and was started and is regularly attended by Papa John.

I'm there fairly regularly also, though less as a contributor than as a learner.

Well, I don't get it - this video came from the default "recommended" export at the top of the list. It is 1080p.
It was a GoToWebinar recording.
Terry
Well, sure, but it doesn't have black borders at the top, so it is a full 1080 in height. Do you think the width is what was breaking WLMM so it made those black borders?

I'm on my laptop - when I get onto my Win7 machine, I'll call up the settings I used and let you know what they were. I definitely did not create a custom profile - to my great surprise, the suggested profile worked.

I just want to merge videos, without having to use FFMPEG's convoluted ways to do it. (I mean really, 5 lines of code?)
