Post links to your uploaded videos. Youtube, dailymotion, vimeo or whatever else. If you already posted a topic, please add the links here as well.

EDIT - A good program to capture gaming videos is Gregion. Not very easy to set up and it appears to be abandoned, but it's free and it does unlimited capturing.

It can use it's own loseless format, but you will probably have to convert it before uploading. I set it to use XVID with minimal compression then resize and compress using VirtualDub. I'm getting better results that i got with fraps, and smaller files too.

I'll start with my own unsuccesfull attempt in an unshielded Stealth Cruiser. Got pretty far with only a single weapon upgrade and zippo shieldieng. (The video jumps at times due to the 30sec recording limit Fraps has)

well guess my past casts are here... along with a few old unrelated things... audio is unsuitable though (I tend to be on a TeamSpeak server while playing), i'll have to do some plays without teamspeak running

the video labelled 22 sep 2012 is the runthrough where I finished for the first time, on normal.

EDIT: just noticed the video stuttering on that last one is horrid not sure what did that...

I made a strong run in The Nesasio and picked apart enemies with relative ease, but in sector 6, the game decided it had had enough of me. In the end i just tried to reach sector 8 to get the Tactical Approach achievement, but it was not to be.

I did get nice weapons, but sadly i couldn't get Drones in time. Even with maxed cloak and very good engines, there's no way in hell to avoid crippleing damage. Too bad i didn't find the Repair Arm aug, would have saved me i reckon.

(quality might be crappy while dailymotion is still publishing the videos)

I've got a few videos with the stealth cruiser. The first is a full playthrough at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrLJUiUQmU8
The second is an attempt to beat the game without ever getting shields. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiPNwiQUchs

I made it to the second phase of the boss. I plan to try this again and if I succeed I will post that video as well.

I enjoyed your Let's play very much. I like your style. Too bad about the o2 system being offline and killing your crew, you made good progress all things considered.


Thanks for adding your links everyone, keep 'em coming.

Taking a break from unshielded runs, i stormed through the game in a Mantis B. It was a boarding extravaganza since 90% of enemy ships had no medbays, and i got my dirty little claws on Breach Bombs fairly quick ensuring that even medbays were no protection. Except for the boss, i wouldn't even care for weapons. It was very nice to be gifted a Burst MkII though, since i was trying to unlock Living of the Land as well.

Enjoy: Faster Than Light - Mantis Cruiser B
SPOILER Boss fight - for the impatient

Another great video conversion i use is AppGeeker, it convert videos to any type of video file with minimal compression then resize and compress.
