Question Regarding Creating Game Movies

[darkrisen2003]

Over the weekend I spent quite a good chunk of time creating a movie of our guild raiding in everquest 2. I used fraps to get the raw footage and then used sony vegas 9 to do the rest. Once I finally got the video the way I wanted it etc I attempted to upload it to youtube. Immediately the filters stripped all of the audio from the video and said I had violated the copyright rules. So I attempted to find another host and every single one of them either stripped the audio, deleted the video all-together, or the quality became soo poor it wasnt watchable.

Now my question is how are sooo many people able to create the exact same type of movie and put them on websites without this problem? All I used was 2 mp3's in the movie. One of them was The Prodigy - Minefeilds, And a clip of Chris Farley doing a skit in Saturday Night Live.

One (or both) of the audio clips you used has been flagged by the copyright owner on the hosting sites so the sites are automatically removing the audio. Try using music that you actually have permission to use (i.e. public domain or not copyrighted).

This.

When I edit anything with Virtualdub after recording with Fraps or Gamecam, the video clarity is pretty good even after uploading to Youtube. Sony Vegas videos should also be clear once uploaded. Not sure why your losing a lot of clarity after uploading.

I will try to post a link here in just a moment and maybe you guys will be able to tell me what I did wrong.

this was the only place I could host it.

It's simple. Use music that isn't copyrighted.

If its that simple then how do all of the rest of the people on youtube do it?

They google "Creative Commons" and find music that is not copyrighted.
