I know it is a screenshot thread, but I don't know a more appropriate thread to ask this question considering you guys seem to have the eyes to notice extreme details.
Can some of you tell me their opinions regarding those videos I've just uploaded on youtube ?
These videos were uploaded using Xvid MPEG4 encoder (virtual dub) weighting 3.09g and 879mb respectively. Turns out Youtube downgraded the IQ drastically. Nevertheless, the quality is still good for the most part. This is Crysis 2 intro + first level. These videos were recorded using Ultra (max) setting, 1080p, hi resolution texture pack as well as DX11 patch. I locked the framerate to 30fps because that's all youtube can handle. I am working on x264 codec adjustment right now so that I can upload videos of similar quality, but with reduced weight.
Specs are in video description.

For some reasons, part 2 seems better, even though it's exactly the same encoding.
My question : Do you think the quality is acceptable ? It feels like youtube introduced a shit load of artifact and macro blocking on dark scenes. Any possible way I can improve that ? Like I said, these videos were hardly compressed.
