q3fuel2 : Electronic Sports World Cup 2005 Highlights

----------------------------------------------

Fuel is back, this time with a solid frag selection from the last ESWC tournament.

It's just a pure frag video with minimalist editing. All the efforts goes on viewing demos and tweaking the quality to give you the best visual experience. It take me 3 months to capture the movie material with a full blend (1000fps)

FAQ troubleshoots :

How to properly read the video ?
- There's a million way to watch a mpeg4 movie file. The best for me is to use media player classic with ffdshow.

The movie lag, why ?
- q3fuel2 run at high fps with a codec which hit processor, so you will need a solid configuration to properly read it. P4 3Ghz and 256 DDR 333Mhz+ would be enough.
- Also check your settings to be sure you don't have post processing filter when you playback the movie.

I can't see anything, it's to dark !
- q3fuel2 was made without gamma correction to preserve the visual quality of the game. Without an insane video bitrate, the codec darken the movie. So you'll need a good monitor to view all the details. Since gamers have generally good hardware configuration, i've made this choice. You could also watch the movie on TV. Television handle dark areas very well.
- another solution would be to increase the luminance value for video playback into your video card properties.
