Allright, so I have looked this up for ever. I have followed a lot of peoples settings, while experimenting myself. I want to upload videos to youtube at 1080p HD. The game I play is called Firefall, and I play it on max graphics at 1920x1080. I want to be able to upload them at 1080p HD directly from Action! to Youtube if its possible, otherwise do I need another software? Thanks! It also seems to record everything on MP4 when I chose AVI anyways.
The raw file may be AVI but when exporting it changes to MP4 from what I have found. As far as I know you can upload directly to YouTube. MP4 is generally a smaller file from what I know which is why it may export to MP4.
You couldn't upload the raw AVI anyway, as the codec inside is proprietary of Mirillis; YouTube wouldn't be able to decode it. So either directly capture into MP4 (at lower resolution) or convert the AVI into MP4.
Mmake sure that LIVE streaming settings are not overwriting your recording settings. This situation occurs when "Enable Action! LIVE Streaming" option is checked.
