I've seen a lot of people put up videos of VO, and I got a trial of Fraps and recorded some videos of attacking the Levi. But the videos are AVI and from 75-125 MB's. Where should I host them, and how do i make them smaller (if possible)?

Use something like mencoder to convert them to mpeg or quicktime format (don't use wmv... it's the least-common codec). Then upload them to any webspace you may have. Or set up a server in your room, like I did. :P

Many, but not all, ISPs provide some webspace to their subscribers. Check with your ISP to see if they already have some webspace for you. There's also many providers of free hosting space. For the codec, my vote would go to MPEG, it's the easiest to get playing on any OS.

http://www.tmpgenc.net/ is great for re encoding the Fraps AVI. You can also use it to do simple cutting/stiching of vids.

I should point out to roguelazer that fraps uses its own version of AVI and without the fraps codec, you cannot watch/re encode the vids fraps produces, also the fraps codec fraps is for win32, so therefore memcoder (or mplayer) will not read the files without a LOT of messing about (I could convert to mpg, then to QT, but what would be the point in that?)

On a only slightly related note, I'd still love to find a video capture program for Linux that I could use to capture VO gameplay. xvidcap is the closest I know of, but it won't capture anything that uses hardware acceleration, so since VO uses hardware accelerated OpenGL, xvidcap won't capture VO. But I know that it is possible to capture from VO, because I've had my screensaver capture the screen while I'm playing VO....

Use one of the free image or movie hosting sites:

http://www.putfile.com/ does videos of most kinds, plus swf and some others

http://imageshack.us/ is another.

Beolach: gvidcap (xvidcap's gtk frontend) captures opengl. I know the website says it doesn't, but it does. However, audio is not being recorded, but thats probably a unrelated issue.
System: Gentoo Linux, xorg-6.8.2-r2, xvidcap-1.1.3-r1, geforce 6600gt.

Edit: Sorry about the extension, its what came out of gvidcap and it works for me in Xine and mplayer... I've changed the link to .avi

VERY FUNNY Moofed. Posting an empty MPEG file. Grr.

Works here, but the extension is wrong. That's an avi/mpeg4 file.

Which is also annoying. I understand... AVI is a container format. But can't MPEG files use their own container format? Sheesh. Anyhow, VLC refuses to play it. So does WMP. And Winamp.

Thanks for all your help. MEncoder was really annoying, you have to use DOS if you're on a Windows computer, but http://www.tmpgenc.net/ worked great! I'm uploading them on putfile.com now, and I'll make a new thread with the videos.

Sweet, thanks Moofed, I'll have to try it out again. The only thing I had found was a fake OpenGL library, that hijacked the OpenGL calls to draw the screen, and dumped them to disk. It was really bad, killed my performance to 1/100 what I normally get, and had to run the entire time the game was running... not a feasible solution, although I did manage to get some videos out of it.
