You can’t really compare a YouTube compressed video to the likes of what Bungie provided for Halo 3. Halo 3 replays aren’t videos, they are game recorded data. Pretty much the same thing as a Quake demo recording.

As one can imagine, there are a myriad of advantages of coding a game engine for sharing recorded game data for playback vs. compressing and resizing raw frames on the fly ala FRAPs.

And a cheap shot at Bungie for helping to cause this!

Voice chat capture would vary in how they implement it.

1. If they’re rendered replays, made into a video solely for upload, it would take up more resources for the replay.
2. If they’re simply videos, not replays, they could work with no problem assuming it’s using audio-out and, if needed, audio-in (though echoing it back to itself would work just as well), not more resources (or much more, that is).

That image was all me, by the way. It might just be text, but for a man of my Photoshop abilities, it’s a fine piece of work.
