For the Second Time...

For the second time I have had to go in and edit the audio of a video because of a copyright claim. Not sure if I believe it, but this is an easier solution than trying to dispute it. So, from 18:28 to 19:12 in FEAR - Chapter 9 the game audio will be muted, and as soon as I upload a version with the new audio, the mic will still be there. (I told Google it could just mute all of the audio in that segment.)
For the record, unless I am confident the copyright claim is legitimate and am allowed to monetize the video, this is what I will do when this happens. In this case I am not confident in this claim and WB Games actually does not want videos of their games monetized. Not sure what would happen if it were monetized but for someone else, but don't want to push it either.
Now for some better news, I finished playing FEAR 2: Project Origin and finished uploading all of the videos yesterday. Something I want to mention is that there are two versions of Chapter 1 because I decided to try recording the gameplay using Lossless option for NVENC. (I did this test after completing the game, so you know and because of some issues I had, the original Chapter 1 lacks the ending of the game's first section. So if you want to see that, you can in the Lossless Test video.)
I think I will do this in the future, because while it can make the original recording very large, I already always re-encode the archive to something smaller but with settings that should not compromise the quality (crf of 15, max crf of 18 and a max bitrate of 25 Mb). Happy with the results so far and as long as I have the space to do this, I intend to keep doing it.
The FEAR 2 videos are already up on the calendar and I have a plan for what will be on the Thursday between Alien: Isolation and these videos and what will be between FEAR 2 and FEAR 3, but both I want to keep secret for now.
