Uploading Tutorial (By Relieve):
A lot of clueless newbs don't know shit. So I am going to make a tutorial on what to do with your Video file after you have recorded it. Obviously, you are going to want to COMPRESS this file. This makes the video MUCH smaller in terms of size. In return, sacrificing a bit of quality. An uncompressed video file will be in the size ranges of 500 megabytes! While a compressed file will be about 50-100 MB. This is very convenient for people who need to access your videos.

PROGRAMS YOU WILL NEED
VirtualDub
Camtasia 5.0 (For recording)
Hypercam 2 (For recording)

TUTORIAL

1. VirtualDub is an excellent application used to compress video files, and do all sorts of things with your videos. It is a MUST for someone that will be recording a lot. To get this application, go to the VirtualDub website and download VirtualDub 1.8.5, 32-bit version.

2. Now, open your VirtualDub. The icon should look like this...




4. When it is opened, the first thing we would want to do is to open our video file. To do so, go to File>>Open Video File

Then, brown through your folders and find your video file, select it, and click open

Now, go to Video>>Compression


Now, in order to do this part. You will need the Xvid MPEG-4 Codec in order to get a good, quality compression. Most computers have this. If not, then go here to download it. Save it somewhere where you will remember it. Now let's go back to the compression window, it will look like this



I want you to select Xvid MPEG-4 Codec and Click 'Configure' From there, there will be many selection to choose from, and it is crucial to pick the right one. Your configure window should look exactly like this. It is very important.


Don't worry, we are almost done! We are done with the pictures because the next parts will be fairly simple for you. Now go to Audio>>Full Processing Mode. Then Audio>>Compression and select MPEG Layer-3>>OK. This is to compress the audio. IF YOUR VIDEO DOES NOT HAVE SOUND IN IT, DO NOT COMPRESS THE AUDIO
After compressing the Audio. The final thing to do is File>>Save as AVI(even though your video is already an AVI, just save it again with a different name) Upon saving it, your video will start to Compress and two windows will pop up giving you progress. It will take some time for you to fully compress a video, it took me about 30 minutes.


CONCLUSION

Well, now we will have less dumbasses in the sniper community and this tutorial will help a lot of people in the CSR:Cumulative Sniper Rankings on how to compress videos.
