From the recent FPE.

Updated mirrors:
http://www.theupload.com/view.php?id=00029489

size: 34 MB
codec: XVid required

code: XVid required

I know the text looks horrid but that is because I captured at high rez and FRAPs just halves everything.
Anyway you get the basic idea and the text isn't really important.

Will try to create a better movie next time. Post comments, constructive criticisms here and hope everyone enjoys it as much as we did making it. Oh and please let us know which mirror had the best speeds for you please. Thanks.

[pimp]
oh and if you have the time, do check out our other video :: The Journey ::

[/pimpage]

edit: reposted links hope it works now.

Could u help by sharing what version of the XVID codec you might be using? or which codec pack (version) did u use?

Others did reply that if they removed their codec pack (whatever it maybe) and installed FFdshow, it sort of worked and the video could play.

The XVID encoder I used was the latest stable build (as far as release is concerned).

Perhaps it might be because of this.
not sure if the MP-4 codecs on ur system are being stuffed up?

Another solution might be here.

I know the solutions I found aren't great, but thats the best that I could find atm.

Asplode, do feedback if you test the video on someone sles

Guardian of the Light - yeah.. I actually wasn't inclined to make the vid, but figured I needed something to remind myself on what to expect for the next 20+ days that remain till Factions is released

neoteo - thanks for the comments and verification that the video works.

*Drools* Very well done. YOU MUST tell me what music you used in that. I'm a huge fan of the whole 'epic' compositions....its going to haunt me now till I find out!

Yeah, nice video, the quality is not too bad, and the music matches really well. All well timed cuts as well, as well as good angles, must have been hell trying to sort it all out while trying to fight. The bit where the Saltspray Dragon Hatchling swoops in from the right as that protetive shield goes up is a great moment, and especially noteworthy. Funny we dont see the hero of the video die:P.

If i could make one improvement it would be to remove the HUD next time. It would make fighting really difficult, for sure, but it would look ace.

On the whole tho, i hate you cos now i want to play some alliance battles :P

A minor update. Been refining my workflow and managed to shave off nearly 30MB off the original! There is a slight quality drop, but I think folks would prefer the trimmed version over the bloated 60+MB version.

In anycase it opens up more free filehosts which were usually unavailable because of their size limits. For now only 2 mirrors are available.

Feedback is welcome. Especially if you prefer the original 65MB version to the Jenny Craig version.

Excellent video!
I couldn't get around to playing in the March event (no internet for a month) but this certainly get's me pumped up for Factions
