very nice...can't wait to try this out!!!

People... Stuff isn't free. Amazing stuff like this, especially, isn't free. Not free to produce, not free for you. Does it make sense that because a game was delayed for a few months, you shouldn't have to pay for it? Everything has production costs, maintenance costs (the hardware for the rendering is expensive), etc, and companies can't stay alive by giving everything free. It's an awesome feature, and it's not like Bungie is going to be like 'omg like f1v3 dollar per pointzzz LOL ROFLOWNED', it will be a reasonable and manageable price for everyone.

Everything in life isn't free, and unlike what the government wants you to think, if you complain and whine and do nothing enough, people will not give everything to you for free and bail you out because you're a lazy ass.

I have to use my old gamertag to use the service unfortunately (so I've linked it to a different username). From the file I tested I haven't got any feedback from the silverlight video because I have yet to download the feature however I've got to say the standard quality is pretty good (from WMV download), certainly similar if not better than YouTube and therefore completely bearable.

Any news on when the HD feature will be available for a beta test?

Maybe a bug, maybe not...

But I use Bumper Jumper, so that means I have to hold "B" to pick up stuff, not "RB"
In the video, it says "Hold RB to pick up Plasma Rifle", but if I watch it on my XBOX, it says "B"


I thought that was weird...

  • 05.14.2009 6:18 AM PDT

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Not something I would use, but hey, it sure looks cool to me.

Visit our little slice of the web at: Fallen Unity

I'll be ready come 7/7.

Thanks Bungie!

Hey! I play around a lot with screenshots. Feel free to take a look!

As if bungie hadn't given us enough, they just gave us the ability to transfer our videos to our computer without having to purchase the tools and materials necessary for creating a machinima. You don't know how much I've been dying for this, when I read about this upcoming feature I nearly -blam!- myself.
I've never appreciated my Bungie Pro subscription more, I've already tried the beta and rendered my first video with my 2 free Bungie points. Both the standard def and HD qualities run really smoothly. But I am still confused about the Bungie point distribution. I used one of my 2 points to render my video, but when I checked back two days later, I had 3 points. How does that work?
Either way, I'm not complaining. I hate to seem like a suck up, but I thank you Bungie, your fans appreciate it.

Also, I feel like a prick, but if you wanna see my video by chance, you can see/download it from my rendered videos here:

***it’s not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you***

In the news story when you said"...I'm taking about", did you mean talking becuase this would be a fail on your part urk... lol jk
But in all seriousness why the hell would you charge money if you are paying for it in bungie pro subscription. I call bull!

  • 05.14.2009 12:08 PM PDT

So is this basically what Gamevee used to do with their feature (forgot what is was called)before they shut down?

  • 05.14.2009 2:31 PM PDT

GOOD STUFF!

Even tho I'm not a BP member, I still it's cool of you guys to give the Beta test to the people who actually will use the service most.

Good lookin' out guys and it's yet another sick as shizzy invention from Bungie!

Keep up the good work!

are you people really that stupid.if you get bungie pro now you cant use the beta it obviously said people that PAID for bungie pro before the beta will get to use it now.and the bungie points are stupid. you already have to pay for the bungie pro why should you have to pay more to be able to stream videos.it would probably be cheaper to use a capture card

your so stupid.im pretty sure bungie isnt hurting for money considering how many games they have made along with all the maps being sold plus the books and soundtracks.paying for this once is reasonable but having to buy points to do it with isnt

  • 05.15.2009 2:28 PM PDT

Me Again!!
I must say, the quality on the standard version is even incredible!
So everyone, unless you're really worried about your video coming out crappy, us the standard render. And, the render time is amazing. It takes like half a second. It's incredible!!!
Thx Bungie!!!

P.S. I know I asked it in my last post, but I have a good idea for obtaining points; You could hold a contest/tournament and people can obtain points that way. Or, just make a playlist for points. Maybe every 2 or 3 games you win, you get points.
Just trying to help :)

If I delte a file share that has been rendered and then reupload it to another slot will the the video still be rendered in that new slot?
