Mylochka is very into this YouTube video thing, and has even taught it as part of graduate-level classes. I'll try to get her to look in and talk to you. She may or may not know how to do on the cheap...

Is she thinking of making her own Valjiir video? ;)
I assume they're a collection of poser still's?Mostly, yes, set to music and all the standard things. At least they do it well.
Mylochka sez MovieMaker is powerful and good...
Poser IS an animation program, though nobody much uses it for that...

I’d also like to watch something like this.. maybe even one person playing a match against someone else and a commentator commenting on the progress, speculating why he does what, etc. Would be especially awesome if that commentator could also switch views between player 1 and player 2.

I have been dabbling in YouTube vids as of late and I think I am getting the hang of it. I have been thinking about recording a random MP match.
My only deal is that I have not done an MP match yet because of a shaky internet connection. Come to think of it, I do not think I have done a proper MP match since a PBEM or two in another game on another site that I lost interest in because it was taking months and my life got busier.
I plan on solving the shaky internet by changing ISPs by next week. I may be sneaky and record a game at that time on a day off when I can dedicate time to it.
While I am willing to record just to get better at making videos and personal development, do you think there is room for a MP newbie to make mistakes? Or do you think they just want to watch very good almost “pro” MPers?
Some technical points: .avi, .mp4 and .wmv files are all video containers.
A container contains the audio and video for the film with each encoded separately. If you want to change your file size then you need to change the codec rather than the container.
The standard tool for converting film between formats and handling scaling, etc, is ffmpeg. It's a command line tool but there are probably graphical interfaces for it.
Re: delivery and film-making style
Veritasium has a great video on this. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLIKgT-OSLQ)
<phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ˌhæl bərˈdɪər"> </phoneme> into this (http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php) and having a listen. You can get IPA representations of pretty much any word from various online dictionaries.)Some feedback on the AoW3 video:
You pronounce "Cavalry" as "Calvary" and also "Halberdier" as "Halberder", which is unusual.
(They're usually pronounced something like cav-al-ree and hal-burr-dare. Try stickingCode: [Select]<phoneme alphabet="ipa" ph="ˌhæl bərˈdɪər"> </phoneme>into this (http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php) and having a listen. You can get IPA representations of pretty much any word from various online dictionaries.)
You don't seem to lead with something really interesting. You use the first few minutes to tell me stuff I already know (you're playing AoW3) and stuff I don't care about (patch version, map configuration). I don't watch a lot of Let's Plays, maybe that's par for the course, but I feel like the videos would be stronger if you had a better idea of what you wanted to say and worked out how to say it faster.
Shut up and sit down did an excellent and very humorous series of board game reviews (http://shutupshow.tumblr.com/episodes) that you might take some inspiration from in terms of pacing and what people might want to know.
(Or maybe the review format isn't what you're going for? I really don't know Let's plays.)
I'd observe that everyone in my (southern) experience pronounces Cavalry like the place Jesus was crucified, probably conflating that exact thing. In other words, it's a correct pronunciation in the dialect you speak, Green, leaving aside pragmatic considerations of how the audience will react.
If your pronunciations are common to your dialect and not just a mistake, I'd say to keep them. Linguistic prescriptivists are the worst.
I'm glad you seem to know what you want to do and I hope you have fun with it.
I wouldn't worry about me thinking your videos are too slow too much. I think almost all video is too slow (especially typical American TV shows, so much filler).
I found that the crack heads next door have been splicing my cable and stealing power. This along with a non caring landlord has forced my hand.

Ouch.
How did you figure it out it was them?
Plan to warn the next tenant?
No, I am just getting out of here and will not meet the next tenant. This apartment I live in was a cheap apartment because when I moved cities to find work, I did not have a lot of cash. It is utilities paid for power and water. I had noticed internet dropping and an enraged landlord coming up wondering why the power bill was 600 dollars if it was just me and was threatening to make me pay it!
When the cable people came out and the landlord's lackies arrived, they found my cable spliced and an extension cord running from an outside outlet on the apartment to the next house!
Weird thing is, after that was fixed, I started having cable issues again! This time it was spliced going to yet another house!
Add to that, my air conditioning is going out and it is 95 degrees outside and my landlord told me I would have to buy a window unit myself!!!!
While I realize I had to cheap out on an apartment for a bit, I am now making quite a bit more money now and can afford better. Yeah, I could fight, but it just is not worth it when I do not really need to stay in this area anymore.

Oh, looks like it really is the landlords' problem then. He should secure his outlets better then. Seems like the neighbourhood is toying with him. ;lol
Too bad you're in the middle of that.
