I think Spooky's work deserves its own thread, as the man has gone beyond the call of duty to encode these vids of our sorry ass little tournaments.

This one is the best yet, with something really special available in grand finals. I implore you to check it out, it's worth the wait I promise.

Vids of older BBGS and other games can be found on the main site, teamspooky.com

The encoding was amazing. May I ask what programs you used to integrate all the clips?

Well I'll try to explain as best I can the techniques used in the final vid.

First off I use a Sony camera (non hd) for the live footage + sound.

For actual replays I used fraps in 60 fps mode.

To integrate reps into the live footage I used Sony Vegas. Syncing the reps with the sound just requires time and patience.

I made a seperate copy of the faces during finals and used Vegas' track motion feature in a somewhat nonstandard way to get the 'picture in picture' effect.

Final encoding settings were 60 fps 640 x 480 wmv in best quality 3MBPS Constant Bit Rate (2 pass)

Nothing too complicated for someone more advanced at editing than I am, but considering I am pretty much an amateur at this I take what I can get.

Good shit, saw the video on youtube, looked like fun. Sp00ky too hardcore on churning out dem vids, even for some ghetto shit. By the way, about those other vids...

The video on youtube is a completely different video. That's just the exhibition match, not the top 8 from the tourney.
