Anyone with experience using FFSplit to record MODO for Youtube? I'm recording in 720P but my youtube videos are coming out shitty. I'm sure there is a setting I missed somewhere. A video for reference:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpBcjPVabzc

Help?
Your video doesn't necessarily look shitty, but I think you have something odd going on with respect to native resolution / aspect ratios.

Step 1: Native Resolution

The first thing you need to determine is whether you want to record in 1080p or 720p, or something higher if you're a maniac. Check out this page for a visual of the various resolutions.

Streaming services like Twitch or broadcast services like YouTube usually have restrictions on the format of the video they will accept. I've only used Twitch, so check with YouTube specifically for resolution / frame rate restrictions.

In FFSplit, go to Options > Encoder tab.

The Video Resolution option sets the base resolution for your recording. I record in 1080p, so I set it to 1920x1080. I also set it to 30 frames / second, which is a standard capture rate for mild games. Twitch caps the video bitrate at 3500 kbps, so I set it there.

Step 2: Capture Window Resolution

Download the standalone program Sizer. Sizer allows you to create presets and resizes windows automatically to the specifies preset resolution and position on-screen. I have a preset called "MTGO - 1540x1040" that resizes a window to 1540x1040, then aligns it to the left edge of the screen.

All the hard work you've done will mean nothing if you're sloppy with your game capture. To capture MTGO using the v4 client, you need to set it to "Capture Window", select the MTGO main client, check the "Only Client Area" option, "Show Mouse Cursor", and "Capture as Region". These options allow the sub-windows that MTGO creates to be captured, along with the mouse cursor in-game.

In the FFSplit main window, click on the MTGO capture window and notice that the "Layer" frame has some settings. That Sizer preset we used now comes in handy here. Set the Width and Height to match the setting you set in Sizer for the MTGO window. The X/Y are the offsets from the top (0) and left (0) edge of the screen. If you want a full screen 1080p MTGO window, your settings would be X:0, Y:0, Width:1920, Height:1080.

In my case, I have a custom streaming background with some sub-windows, so I use X:20, Y:20, Width:1540, Height:1040.

It's important that your game capture window has the exact same resolution in FFSplit that your window does on your monitor. I expect that the blurring you're seeing on your stream is because of up-scaling or down-scaling. This occurs when you have a small window that you stretch to fit a higher resolution. It will blur the areas between the pixels. It's always better to record and stream at the resolution you intend to show for your viewers.

Step 3: Stream Dat Ass

Start your stream or start the recording, then stop after 30 seconds. Watch your playback at the intended resolution to verify that your stream looks sharp and is sized correctly.

New set seems... good. I've never been remotely a story guy, but its weird that the cards don't have much flavor text. Guess I'll have to wait till the end of the spoiler.

Thunderbreak reagent. I'm curious as to building a fires of yavimaya style midrange hasted deck. So maybe red/x skies can be just great from right there with dragon tempest.
One of the things I couldn't stand about the ashcloud phoenix is that it lacked haste. I'm not sure how much of a deck can be built around it just from such little info but as long as the cards are decent enough without the Dragon tempest in play it should be an awesome block deck at least.

Also... that lightning berserker, Dick = Diamonds.

for a small curve red aggro deck, the new one-drop is ok. not great, not even stonewright good, but ok if no other one drop comes along. Having a late-game mana sink in these decks is great protection against flooding out, but this new card is really actually early-game mana sink when we have better uses for our mana already.

Narset seems insane but maybe I'm just not getting past 4cmc 6 starting loyalty.

If you're keeping the board clear it's good but win-more. Otherwise it's just too fragile. No evasion, dies in combat with anything, and you're behind curve pumping it if you're dashing. I think it's playable but I don't think it's anything to get excited about.

I thought you might say that. I loved Stonewright, but the beauty of that card wasn't that you could attack with him (of course you could) but that he pumped your larger threat that came down later in the game, or perhaps you dropped him the turn after your larger threat, had plenty of mana open to pump, etc. It was rarely Stonewright the card that killed your opponent but rather the soulbond target. Berserker doesn't benefit from that and needs to do all the work itself with a 1-butt.

I think this card is more like what Viashino Firstblade would be if the ETB trigger gave +2/+0 rather than 2/2.

I'm surprised it took them that long to print a fire-breathing one drop. Still, it looks an awful lot like Archwing Dragon. Not a very easy card to evaluate.

I think it'll see play and I think it's good, but I don't think it's as good as stonewright and I don't think it'll matter for a while. This format just seems to hostile to what this card is trying to do.
