Hi, I want to record my monday match POV with comms and put it up on youtube. However, I do not know what is the best method to do this: streaming and putting it up after or playing the comms which I recorded over a the POV demo and let it run getting recorded by fraps. Streaming puts my TF2 down to 50fps, which I do not want during matchtime. What is the best way?

streaming locally is probably the best idea (without playing it on twitch.tv)

yup use obs

oh but if you lag when streaming then your next best option (other than lowering seetings to make it less strenuous on your cpu) is to record a demo and record mumble but you will get sync issues

I forgot who said this but I remember some guy who talked about how his team uses in game chat and mumble at the same time. They would have their in game chat sound to 0 and the push to talk for both would be the same. That way when they would be watching a demo or something, then they would hear their comms as well.

you can also use prec and record mumble comms. then sync them together in a editing program and export to youtube

thats really cool, how would they mute their ingame chat?

You can go to in game options and there should be a slider for it in the audio tab iirc

Sounds like a really cool idea. However, is this going to be a problem? http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3161984

i think this stops voice from being transmitted as well, not sure though.

I'm fairly sure the command to turn down the audio is "voice_scale 0". It still allows you to transmit, and shows the voice bubbles as you receive, but you will not hear it.

Scholaryou can also use dxtory to record both the game and mumble

OBS is more efficient. No reason to use Dxtory for TF2.

Have you tried these and they aren't working or are you just not satisfied with these answers? I kinda want to know how to do this as well/what the best method is.

I've never done it before, but couldn't you just record the pov separately from mumble, then use some video/audio editing program to stretch them to the same length? It should have a pretty negligible effect on sound quality given that it's <30 seconds over 30+ minutes.

Not necessarily better, but you could buy a capture card and use a laptop to record really high quality audio/video without any performance loss.

OBS in local video record makes me go down to 30fps. I play medic. This is a problem.

This probably isn't helpful for everyone, but an idea I just tested is to run a cable from my PC's headphone jack to the microphone jack on my laptop in listen mode, and plug my headphones into the laptop. Then I just record using Windows sound recorder.
It's worth trying if you have an old laptop spare and your PC isn't powerful enough to stream without fps drops.

msi afterburner
-Set microphone record as the same button as mumble's push to talk. if you bound it to a mouse button, you need a seperate software. I use something called "push to talk solution for windows 7 and 8"
-choose encoder/frame rate/etc...
I have enough space and CPU/disk speed to use a lossless encoder (UT Video / Lagarith).
You can use x264vfw, but that's horribly out dated. Use OBS if you don't have disk space.
-Hide overlay on recording
-hotkey
-record

If you need to encode to h264 / x264, use obs but I'm not sure how it handles push to talk.
