I'm new to GT5 and one thing which has helped me learn many games is to watch YouTube commentaries from some of the better players. What I'd really like, for example, is someone to run through a tough track like Nurburgring and provide commentary on the braking spots and racing lines they've chosen, how various setups help, etc.

I was wondering if anyone knows of good YouTube channels where I could find such commentaries?

I'd of course also like to suggest that some of the better racers from GT Planet might want to start recording YouTube :)

Hi mate,

My videos are mostly cockpit & bumper views of drives & races at Nurburgring in various cars. There are no commentaries however. But you can see from videos the racing lines taken, when & where I braked/accelerated/changed gears.

Hope vids help you in tackling The Green Hell. Happy to accept requests to lap it with your car of choice if that is of more help.

Thanks to everyone who replied and has contributed videos. I will be watching and subscribing to your channels.

Uploading great gameplay to YouTube does seem to be something that the GT5 community hasn't done as much as others. In particular, I think the third-party shooters like COD owe a great deal of their popularity to their YouTube stars. If I had the skills, I'd definitely look at uploading a commentary, montage or two.

BTW, I noticed that everyone has taken their clips by just taking a video recorder aimed at the TV. The more "pro" way to do things that would really show off GT5's graphics is to get a Hauppage video capture card so that you can capture the video in HD directly. It costs about $150 and makes quite a difference not only in quality but in viewership. I will be glad to contribute $20 to the capture card fund of anyone who is interested in buying one and will promise to post some commentaries :)

I've actually been looking into that for quite a while now (since GT5:P was released) but I'm not good with computers, so if you're knowledgeable about that kind of thing, would you mind explaining the process to me?

I can figure the editing stuff out, but how do I install a capture card, and is there a cable I connect from the computer to the PS3?

If you would reply via PM or this thread I'd really appreciate it, and hopefully soon there will be some more good video's on YouTube.:cool:

I appreciate it,

Parker,

The easiest thing by far is to get a standalone HD PVR unit as described in this tutorial:

Then it's just a box that sits between your PS3 and TV so it's really easy to setup.

You need to use component cables from your PS3 to the box, then component cables from PS3 to TV. A USB cable connects the PVR to the computer.

When you record, there is a bit of configuration to do on your PC to tell the HD PVR the best settings to record at. The tutorial has many suggestions there; it all boils down to how many frames to capture and at what resolution/color density.

To edit the videos (and add audio commentary tracks), you will probably also want a copy of Sony Vegas which is the least expensive high-quality video editing program. Of course, you'll also need a mic to record the commentaries.
