Trying to create my first video about Wurm and having problems

[Ayuna 331]

I wanted the first video to be about Wurm's particular feature that I love so dearly. Already having some unforseeable issues and was hoping that some other video creators could help me.

 

The two main issues, as you can see from the video below are:

• The graphical quality of the immediate copy stored on my HD is much worse than what I see when I play Wurm. I have a decent video card.
• There is background white noise, and I've no clue where it comes from.

 

Here is the unlisted link to a test run:

 

Thank you in advance for helping me.

Hi Gawain. Indeed, I had microphone input enabled. Disabled it, and the humming disappeared. Thank you.

 

What about the graphical quality?

What software are you using to record?

I'm using Nvidia Geforce In-game Overlay recording feature. Haven't really fooled around with its settings before.

Since you're experiencing a lower QL output in the video than in your gameplay experience I'm guessing it's caused by compression. Bad compression algorithms produce a lower sized file by compressing the contents without consideration for its quality, and it's often very noticable in the video and/or sound depending on what algorithm is used. I'd suggest looking through the "custom" option in the Quality section to see if there is an option for no compression.
