Youtube complications

[Combat Lobster]

MKV isn't really a format. It's a container.

I know, but I didn't want to confuse psycho by saying container. Then again I'm just terrible at explaining stuff.

And psycho your mic might have caused the static as I'm assuming you were using MSI to record both the game and your mic at the same time in the same application. This would result in both audio tracks (Game and Mic) to be mixed together, and if your mic was picking up any background noise that can drown out the game audio and ruin the audio completely. What I'm saying is it's was your mic's fault.

If you're going to record any commentary, it's best to record it in a separate application like Audacity and do some noise removal on it so this won't happen; but then again you still need a video editor of some kind to splice it all together.

But if you're just gonna record the game and upload that then I recommend you try these settings:
(Feel free to change the settings as you please. I wouldn't record a 8-bit or 16-bit game at 30FPS)

And here's a video that used those settings if you need it:
