I know he's got a lot going on. Shame about the blog though. 

yeah, that blog was always really interesting to read. He was way beyond me in terms of rendering techniques. 

Does this look a little muddy? I used the in-game recording with FQ to make this video. I think the codec was xvid.

Maybe up the brightness a bit for recording though. 

Quake's blocky nature means there's not much detail lost even with low encoding quality.
I agree with the brightness thing though. Actually, I agree with that while playing too. 

Use gamma 0.7. Pixel textures require a higher bitrate than filtered ones but from the few pixels I could actually see in yours it seemed fine. I would highly recommend using H264 through x264 though, it is vastly superior to XviD. https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6 can give you some ideas but make sure to read through it all as it is more of a diary than a guide.

I simply use ffmpeg -i "$1" -acodec libmp3lame -ab 192k -vcodec libx264 -preset slow "$1.mkv" for 1280x720 captures and the quality seems good.

Capturing in full quality in-game and encoding it later on is best.

Alternatively to trying to figure out how to capture with Fitz, maybe just wait until christmas for something special :) 

That helps. I have ffmpeg but I had no idea howto configure it 

The bit rate on the actual movie file seems much higher but it becomes muddy when its on YouTube 

re-encodes everything you send it to arse crack quality :P Seriously I think their 720p bitrate is around 700k.

generally you will see better results the higher bitrate you give to youtube, but loss is unavoidable unfortunately :( 

Yeah the YouTube encoding is really not kind to a pixelated scene where the whole view is constantly moving. 

I thought the quality I got at the quaddicted channel is quite good?

Remember that if you don't need the "social" aspects of yt, archive.org is also there for you.

If I was in a room watching videos of Qracker Jack Quake - and there were two other people in the room with me - Hitler, and Osama Bin Laden - and there was a single gun sitting on a table with two bullets in the chamber...I'd take the gun and shoot myself in the head twice. 

 

Rejected as news because:

1. A Youtube channel is not news.

2. Broken links.

3. No useful information.

4. Post too long. 

The Qrack_HD pack contains copyrighted material: pak0.pak and pak1.pak, if not more. 

5. Gave me cancer. 

Some of the dumbest comments I've read in a while.

There's the door.
