OMG Awesome !!!

Gratz for the Bronze Drake .. You deserve it ... :)
If I were you, I would have looted the mobs, at least the bosses :)

I wish I could accomplish someting like this in a near future ...

and BTW, what's your system setup?
Are you running FTL or [focus] setup ?

thanks

I do go back and loot the bosses (and any remaining mobs) after I kill Mal'ganis. Looting everything takes too long during the timed run - not looting anything except the first boss is the key to making the run so fast :)

Another fun point, any corpses with blue items on them will stay spawned forever so when I run back through if I see a regular corpse I know it has a blue item :)

I am using a focus setup (can't be bothered to go through the hassle of FTL setup since I don't need it really, and honestly I hate being tied down to a single piece of software so I don't want to utilize anything that is only compatible with one piece of software.

So, all my shamans /focus my DK (I have buttons to refocus any of my shamans as well).

Finally I could see it :)

Amazing! Keep 'em Coming.

I'm working on this video some more and experimenting with compression, etc... I have the video compressed using DivX now at 444MB at roughly the same quality level. The audio is still uncompressed PCM though. Apparently Vegas 8 does not play nice with lame so rendering with mp3 audio from the get-go doesn't work. I was trying to use virtualdub to only compress the audio stream to mp3 with the lame codec and leave the video stream untouched (direct stream copy). However, I found that even with direct stream copy for video it seems to make the video quality worse when I use virtual dub - not sure why since it isn't supposed to be touching the video stream.

Anyone know why this might be? After passing the video through virtualdub the size drops to 190MB but the video looks worse - it would be nice if I could get the video to approximately that size with good quality! Or, does anyone know of an mp3 codec I can use WITH sony vegas that doesn't break, then I could just render with mp3 audio from the get-go :)

I would like to re-up this video at ~200MB for everyone that might want to keep it and not waste almost a gigabyte of space. Plus the copy I am working on now has some good music instead of the actual WoW sounds :)

It was kinda refreshing to hear the Wow Sounds, because you don't here always this spell not ready things (hope I don't lie now ?!) Was also nice to hear Arthas Speaking, I loved it felt really cool. I couldn't see it on my own, and you were going through the bosses like a hot knife through butter :)

I'm not that compressing kinda guy sorry.

Added another copy of the video to the main post. I have dubbed over the whole video with various music selections and compressed the video with DivX retaining decent quality but dropping the filesystem to ~285MB if anyone is interested :)

Always :)

I loot when I do my timed runs and finish with time to spare.

Obviously I could do that now with 4-5 minutes to spare. The point of the video is to show people how to complete a timed run. For someone just starting out, looting everything will likely cost them the time they need to complete it.

Awesome video! I watched it through a couple times and learned a few things. Thanks! Would you consider a DK to be a superior tank over a prot pally when 5boxing with 4 other shaman? It seems like your DK was able to hold aggro on the mobs quite well!

It depends what you prefer there are several threads about that but here a little sum up:
DK
Less DMG because of high Armor Multiplicators
Pet
No Mana Use
+13% Magical dmg

Pally
Blessings (Flexible)
Auras (More than 1 and flexible)
Easier too handle (for some)

There are many things pro and con, as I said it very depends on what you prefer.

@ Hachoo
It's kinda insane how much of a difference the Divx AVI has against MPG before, Quality is quite the same and you've edited music into it, and you got just a 3rd or a 4th out of it (size), really nice.

Edit2:(For the first video)
Anyone else feels like watchig Diablo 2? I mean these "Uhh" "Rargh" sounds from the Zombies, I think they are the same as the ones from d2^^
