I have created a forum post with information on what I would like to see from BioWare to look after their customer base to enable and provide a manual update for their MMORPG.

Testing Dxtory rendering with H264 codec for Battlefield 3.

The original file was over 15GB in size pre-render, squashed down to 1.75GB using Vegas 11 Pro (32bit) unfortunately this did lose some of the quality of the footage

More of a test than anything else, I spent my time watching the rendering counters rather than playing to be honest!

Video output speed 29.9fps
