Official Announcement, 2 New Videos on the way, new PC

This is the closest we get to a press release for WoW.

Announcing Nerf Treisk 2 (a solo Hunter PvP video, the sequel to Nerf Treisk from August 2006).

As anticipated by members of the Hunter community as Illegal Danish 2, Nerf Treisk will be a display of solo Hunter PvP by a respected contributor to the Hunter community. One of the most acclaimed and critiqued members of the class has slated the release for Nerf Treisk 2 for late Spring (target: April 21st, 2008).

Announcing Clutch Tactics 5v5 (a 5v5 Arena video using Rogue, Hunter, Warlock, Priest, Druid).

A new 5v5 comp that the team, Clutch Tactics @ Rampage, has had great success with. While Rampage might not be the most popular battlegroup in the US, Clutch Tactics has taken the BG by storm, holding top 10 for the first month of Season 3, until taking some time off to focus on other projects. Clutch Tactics' 5v5 video is slated for release in late Spring, as well (target: May 1st, 2008).

Both dates subject to change.


The new PC is simply incredible. Being able to render video files while still running WoW (in Shat) at 60 FPS is just unbelievable, coming from a PC that ran 15 FPS in Shat while doing nothing else. The specs I listed on my last entry are the exact specs I used and build the PC with.

The only trouble so far with this PC is the fact that it's having trouble rendering videos into DivX. I haven't gotten a straight theory just yet for this issue, but I can post this up here and see what everyone thinks about the problem. I'd like to hear back from anyone who knows anything about this error message.

"Invalid Video Stream

DivX Converter cannot encode the input file: C:\Documents and blah blah\WoW 2008-etc.avi because it contains an invalid video stream

For more information visit the support site that doesn't tell you anything about this issue"

When I try rendering it in other codecs, it freezes on the first frame.

So, any ideas?


One last thing. I'm moving this blog to GameRiot. You will see the last five posts I've made on this blog, on my GameRiot page, dated with the dates they were posted here. I'd like anyone who keeps up with my blog here to keep up with it there, as well.

'Til next time,
-Treisk.
