Giving Machinima a go
A good number of my collegues, Yossarian, Idz and Copter to name but a few have started making movies. It is an art form that I am very interested in as I used to do things with cine cameras and film splicing when I was a lad.
Before getting to the art of it, you have to figure out a few technical things. In my case a new computer with dual graphics cards helps greatly.
Having changed machine my old editing software is no longer, so I am just seeing what I got prebundled.
Either way, we now have youtube to show things :-)
It was in glorious HD but of course gets a bit crunched for the web.

Ian,
Been having a bit of a snag with my system, what compressors and window sizes did you end up picking? Mine stubbornly refuses to capture more than 3 seconds without crashing on anything but 640×480. Is that the best we can get?

Well I recently got a new machine at home with dual SLI graphics cards and a core duo processor. So I am running at 1024 (can go higher I think) and capturing using fraps not the internal SL capture.
After that its already on HD so can be downscaled to other media formatar

Thanks, epredator, I’m about to drop in a BFGTech NVidia 8800GTX OC 768M water-cooled card. I don’t think SL is going to be able to argue with that…
