My Final Fantasy XIII HD Tech Demo (SPOILERS)


WARNING: This video contains minor spoilers to the game, such as names of characters, the boss, and the music. I do not spoil any FMVs or elements of the plot in this video. Welcome to my first HD video… I hope. This video is to test out how well I can record from my PS3 with the Hauppauge HD PVR and render the video in mp4 format. Theoretically, it should be 720p, because that’s how I recorded it. However, I’ve never done this before, so I don’t know how well YouTube will encode it. It may take them awhile to fully process the video and for the 720p option to show up. Let me know how you like the video and audio quality. If it seems to work well enough for most of you, it is highly likely that I would make FF13 my next main LP after Lufia. Unlike how I’ve recorded every other video I’ve made, I recorded my commentary separate from the game recording, using Audacity at the same time as the Hauppauge recorder. This should significantly increase the game’s audio quality, since it is being recorded directly from the source, as opposed to being picked up by my microphone from the speaker in the background. I do have a few questions about future recordings. 1) How can I sync the commentary with the video better? Right now, I just kind of threw them together. At most, they might be off by 0.5 seconds of each other, but I’d like to perfect it. 2) Is it possible to import .m2ts files into Sony Vegas Movie Studio and render the videos in .mp4 format? I made this video with a
