COMPLETED
Elden Ring is a stunning open world game by FromSoftware, creator of the Dark Souls series. Although Elden Ring takes place in a universe completely separate from the Souls games, It shares much of the tough and exciting gameplay that the Souls games and Bloodborne have become known for. Unlike the Souls games, Elden Ring takes place in an open world full of mysteries and surprises. George R. R. Martin, creator of the 'Game of Thrones' universe, has provided story elements to the game.

Elden Ring Recording Nightmare
I have a problem with Elden Ring.I immensely enjoy playing and recording the game. This is turning into a problem.
- I have set the Elgato 4KS+ to record at 80,000 Kbps = 80 Mbps = 10 MB/s = 60*60*10 GB/h = 36 GB/h
- My videos are typically a little less than an hour, which ends up around 30 GB
- YouTube processing of a 30G 4K HDR video currently takes 1-3 days, on average around 2 days
In the last 22 days, I have recorded over 33 hours of elden ring, which ends up around 1.5 hour / day. While I'm slowly uploading edited videos to YouTube and waiting for them to process, I have currently a nightmarish 1.2 TB of raw Elden Ring footage on my SSD, slowly filling up the 2 TB.
I have 3 options:
- Buy more SSDs. This might impact my bank account too much.
- Record less Elden Ring. This is barely an option, the game is just too good.
- Edit the videos harder, so YouTube only have to process roughly a third of the footage. I should probably go with that one.
- The whole recording space issue was starting to annoy me, so I went with option 1 and bought a 4 TB SSD instead. That should allow for more than 100 hours of footage.
- Retroactively, I have decided that my silly recording from April 2nd represents Templor having a lapse into complete insanity. This could be a recurring event, enabling me to experiment with some of the more silly weapon and equipment combinations.
