Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stream/Capture Video?

Posted by BeauHD on from the tools-of-the-trade dept.

datavirtue writes: I am starting to look at capturing and streaming video, specifically video games in 4K at 60 frames per second. I have a Windows 10 box with a 6GB GTX 1060 GPU and a modern AMD octa-core CPU recording with Nvidia ShadowPlay. This works flawlessly, even in 4K at 60 fps. ShadowPlay produces MP4 files which play nice locally but seem to take a long time to upload to YouTube -- a 15-minute 4K 60fps video took almost three hours. Which tools are you fellow Slashdotters using to create, edit, and upload video in the most efficient manner?

    I'm recording massively large video clips that no one will watch and it takes forever to upload them to YouTube. I have a 50Mb/s upload speed and can't figure out why this 60 gig file takes three hours. Pleas help me do math.

    The problem is the OP didn't show he actually researched the problem and thus sounds completely clueless. This site jumps on people who can't even take 2 seconds to actually "Think, McFly!" about what they are asking.

    If he had prefaced his sub-text with something like -- "I just started learning about video streaming and it seems complicated to me" -- then more people would be willing to give them some slack.

    The fact that he took the time to post his question on /. BUT couldn't be arsed to spend the time to learn about:

    * Mbps (Mega bits-per-second) and
    * File Size

    shows that he isn't actually using his brain.

    There is a reason RTFM exists, or the modern vernacular: LMGTFY.
