I always forget where i'd referenced these, so i thought i'd put them together and hope feminists don't have them taken down as wrongthink.

Trying to use OBS to create game videos for YouTube
Problem
- I am finding difficulty with editing the recordings from games.
- I also want to create the best possible YouTube footage for games such as Fallout 4 using open source software for windows
When I try to edit the h264 files to remove pauses within the game, e.g. from zoning, Avidemux crashes, apparently from problems with the way keyframes are handled.
One guide recommended recording everything first in AVI, but that's not an option. Is FLV the next best choice? I suspect FLV is just a wrapper around AVI but I'm too rusty and inexperienced at this stuff to be sure.
Hmm. I do not see FLV as an option in OBS? Maybe that's a recommendation for an older version, and no longer valid.
Settings:
![]() |
| Encoding |
The recommended value isn't an option.
I checked - I am using the latest version as of this date.
Maybe I need to change the keyframe value from auto to 1 second? Is 0.5 seconds good for editing but bad for the final product? doesn't seem to be an option in OBS, it only works in whole second increments. :P

"I honestly can't recommend avidemux (2.5.4 in Ubuntu 14.04) as a frontend for x264. It's pretty essential to have something with a slider for slow to fast presets" (source)
The slider issue is pretty important. I will have to try with a keyframe setting of 1 second to see if that lets me use avidemux - otherwise, perhaps there's an alternative?
Result of setting keyframe to 1 was that I didn't get the crash from avidemux when i was editing, but wow, the size of the file has increased. See the result of the test below.
It's really annoying that I can't create a lossless file with OBS, then do my editing and then re-encode in the YouTube friendly settings.
Recommended settings:
How to make high quality local recordings
Settings for local recording only, not for streaming, x264 encoder
Here are the settings you are required to change to get high quality local recordings (using the x264 encoder). Do not attempt to use these settings for live streaming!
Encoding
Use CBR: Disabled
Quality Balance: 10
Bitrate: 1000
Use custom buffer size: Enabled
Buffer size: 0
Advanced Options
x264 CPU Preset: Ultrafast
Use custom x264 parameters: Enabled
Custom x264 parameters: crf=X
Where X is anywhere from 1-20, lower being higher quality / higher CPU usage. A good place to start is the 15 - 20 range. A CRF of 0 enables lossless recording which will have very high file size and CPU requirements and introduces compatibility issues, so be careful!
Explanation:
Setting the buffer size to zero disables the VBV system, allowing x264 to hit any bitrate necessary to achieve the quality (CRF) specified. If you wish to increase quality further, you need to use advanced options - quality 10 is equal to a CRF of 22, which is fine for live streams but not so good for local recording.
For compatibility with various editing software, it's also recommended to enable CFR (advanced options) and do not use CRF 0. CRF 0 uses "High 444" mode which a lot of editing software (and some video players) cannot handle.
For best results, set your output file format in broadcast settings to FLV. You can convert it to MP4 afterwards if you need to. Recording directly to MP4 is very risky, as if OBS or your PC crashes, the whole recording is useless. FLV on the other hand will keep everything up until the crash.
If you use QuickSync, NVenc or AMD VCE as your encoder, these settings will not work.

Youtube, Fair use, and false copyright claims
Listen to my Fallout clip from 14:10 to 14:53.
Youtube monetisation is very interesting and unpleasant. There are companies which canvas the internet for anything they can claim, despite not owning the content themselves. There was a few seconds of music from a computer game in the background of a clip and a company auto-issued ownership of my entire clip.
(Not sure if the Nostalgia Critic gets the revenue properly if a video is embedded - they didn't disable it, which is an option - but if you do like that clip, just click "watch on Youtube" and 'like' from there.)

Now by Youtube rules, if i don't dispute this immediately, the claimant owns my stuff. If it's found in my favour - the company can re-issue the claim, again and again. No penalty exists for false claims. And they make millions - from doing nothing. It's automated. The companies don't create any content - they just steal from the hard work of others.

Listen to my Fallout clip from 14:10 to 14:53.
It's clearly fair use; it's noisy and has voices all over it - there's just no goddamn way someone is going to think "I don't have to buy that tune now because i can listen to this 43 second clip instead!"
(Ironically, I found complete studio quality reproductions all over Youtube, so actual musicians themselves benefit not at all from the attack on my channel - presumably real pirates have no trouble creating new Youtube channels at a whim)

Computer games use music all the time - do we have to silence all the sounds? I can turn off music for future clips for this particular game - but if i wanted to talk about the music for the original game of Civilisation, I couldn't do so on Youtube - 43 seconds would be more than enough for some company that never makes music to say it owns my fifty minute review.
I think we are seeing the beginning of the end for Youtube. There's really no alternative service for home content creators at the moment, so this saddens me.
With the collapse of social media into Feminist-owned 'SafeSpace', it's going to be very difficult to get people to find content hosted elsewhere in any case. Unless it's SocJus approved, naturally.
Someone else found the same problem when they were live streaming from the game. http://freedom.community.tm/threads/fallout-4-and-copyright.164928/

Victimhood is Power.
Let's have a look at these images from Blurred Lines. Click the thumbnail to open in a new tab. Think about this:
Is everyone
- having a good time?
- being silly?
- touching affectionately and sensuously?
Why isn't there a protest about the depiction of a woman being dominated by another woman? All the hatred only mentions male oppression. Does the middle figure look oppressed, or playful?

She looks so happy there. What wouldn't you give to be looked at by her like that?
"I'll help with that bike, ma'am".. interesting that this is seen as lacking in respect.

and there.. I wonder what riding the bike represents?

Hmm, I wonder...

Take off the Sex Negative Glasses, and look..
Are they unhappy? Oppressed? Liberated?

Intimacy!

Intimacy!

Wargle!

She's confident. She challenges the viewer.

but she's not hostile. Their body language is friendly.

He checks her out...

She checks him out...

Intimacy!

She checks him out...

and as a couple, they look at the viewer.

Do you ever get the feeling part of the outrage is jealousy?

Oh yes, she's really suffering here. Woe!

Dancery dancey dancings

Woah! She really is gorgeous!

And we parade together...

strut strut strut!

On the left, she caresses his hair, as they lie.. on the right, she rapes his mouth.
Which video depicts hatred? Why was the first banned, the other celebrated, by Feminists?

The uncensored version of Blurred Lines was taken off YouTube, because "toplessness is degrading".
Argh.
So when men protest against women going topless, we should shut up as patriarchical creepy rape monsters. But when actually *see* women see topless women, they look at men and still manage to see it as a reason for attack.
It's kinda funny that the maker of the clip.. was a woman . But the blame, again, is shifted to the men. Women are not to be held responsible for bad actions.
And remember, women are powerless in this man's world, so it's not like they can censor artwork and stifle debate or anything.
