I exported a replay, n yet I can copy it to usb, but I can't seem to upload them to youtube....any help?

Thanks!
 
Aren't the replays just playable in GT5? You can export them, but I think you need GT5 to play them. Correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: I think the replay files are data used in the game, not actual movie files.
 
They are not exported as video files, you need to record them with some capture equipment.
 
Thats stupid.... shouldn't be an "export" option then!
 
They are 'instructions' to a game rather than actual video files

True. Exporting videos from GT5 is like paying someone in Monopoly money. It's worthless outside the game.
 
The reason you can 'export' them is so you can copy them onto some form of media (such as a USB stick), upload them somewhere (online) and others (with GT5) can then download them and import them into GT5. It's great, for example, for racing leagues so that people who didn't take part can see the race. And of course you have full controls, pause, switch to another car, switch view, etc, that you wouldn't have on YouTube. Not to mention how many 'parts' you would need on YouTube to upload a "long" race.

Once caveat though, somebody with an NTSC version of GT5 can not import a replay save that was made with a PAL version and vice versa.
 
Best thing to do is this-

Buy a Haupage HD PVR, you can pick a used one up for just over £100 on ebay and they seem to be in good condition. Brand new they are around £190-£200. Other alternatives for HD recording are more expensive and harder to use.
Buy a HIGH QUALITY HD PS3 component cable as the PVR doesn't come with this, it costs around £3.99 for a cheap one or £20 for a good one.

Then download/buy (preferably legally since these programs cost a lot) either Sony Vegas Pro if you are on a windows pc or Final Cut pro if you are on a mac. (Final cut express doesn't cut it and is a poor program)

If you are using a mac buy HDPVRCapture from here- http://www.steventoth.net/blog/products/hdpvr-capture/

If you are using windows then the HDPVR comes with software to capture with =]
 
or just use a video camera and film it off your screen. Way more simple, cheaper and as long as you're not too concious of the quality of the video it works fine.

HD cameras actually provide good footage if you set them up correctly

Intensity Shuttle is OK, (about £140 new from here http://www.creativevideo.co.uk/index.php?t=product/bmd_intensity_shuttle) but an absolute pain in the backside to setup, because of hardware compatibility. I'm still trying to resolve audio problems with it, plus it's a ballache with hard drive speeds. Decent captures through HDMI from my 360 though, PS3 is a pain blocking all HDMI, it should just block HD Movies.

Buy Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD instead of Vegas Pro too. Costs about £100, and you get DVD architect, and Sound Forge Audio Studio too. Vegas Pro does far more than the average user needs, Movie Studio HD is excellent.
