So the AVI script thing is supposed to look like this?

AVISource("C:\Users\Brandon\Desktop\th125 2010-03-20 12-45-41-81.avi", audio=false)
BicubicResize(960, 720, 0, 0.5)
#Bicubic (Neutral)
AddBorders(160, 0, 160, 0, 0)
ConvertToYV12()

I tried it earlier and I get the Audio way ahead of the video, the video plays at at least, 8 FPS....

LHCling · « **Reply #91 on:** March 20, 2010, 09:19:36 PM »

Should be more along the lines of

Code: [Select]

AVISource("C:\Documents and Settings\M*****\My Documents\My Videos\video.avi", audio=false)
BicubicResize(960, 720, 0, 0.5) # Bicubic (Neutral)
AddBorders(160, 0, 160, 0, 0)
ConvertToYV12()

Regardless, I'm thinking that the de-synchronization of the ~~audio~~ video is of a different nature. Though, you should probably change the script first and see what happens to the resulting video.

I'd be inclined to say that you should make sure that when you're muxing (combining) the audio and video to make sure that the framerate is set correctly. There will be a noticeable sync problem in the difference between 60 FPS and 60000/1001 FPS, and the audio will drift more and more out of sync as the video goes on.

Consider the possibility that it is the player, and not the video itself, which is having issues. I get that pretty much 100% of the time. Some codec/script configurations end up with a video which is excellent for Youtube but absolutely horrible for Media Player, for whatever reason.

Are there recording devices that aren't compatible with Windows 7? I can't make a single one work properly. Only HyperCam is close to not being crap, but the video and audio are NEVER synched.

How strong does your computer need to be to record in HD? I have a new laptop now but it still lags a lot.

EDIT : Never mind, I'm an idiot. The synching problem was already answered in another thread a few months ago.
As for computer lag, it's just Fraps being crap because I can't figure out how to use it properly.

Uploaded a small video to make sure I did everything correctly : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIf7g0UZKFs

I am wondering if Megui is finally Win7 compatible after a few months. Need to try it out to be honest.

It was ever not Win7 compatible? I always worked on my computer.

I have a question of my own. How do you dub your own music on your video's while still keeping the soundeffects from the game?

Drake · « **Reply #97 on:** April 16, 2010, 05:05:58 PM »

Eaiest way would be to record your game with BGM set at 0%, then mix the sound-effect-only track with your music in Audacity or something. You just use this file as audio instead of the avi file when muxing.

Every time I load the RAW video into the program it crashes. I cannot do anything.

Ran megui, it auto-updated to 3.4.

Hooray...

Have you tried this? I know it says Vista but it might work with Win7 as well seeing as they're so similar and all.

Quote from: MeGUI/FAQ

MeGUI doesn't work in Vista!
This is often due to the new UAC (User Account Control) system in Vista. There are two solutions:

1.Disable UAC. The disadvantage of this is obvious - no more UAC.
2.Set MeGUI to run as an administrator in the shortcut/.exe compatibility properties. The disadvantage of this method is that you need to authenticate MeGUI each time you start it up.

I have otherwise no idea why it shouldn't work.

I've been using this method to upload videos to YouTube for a long while and only just recently have I had issues.

2 of my videos have really horrible audio lag, where the video is stupidly ahead of the audio. The weird thing about it is that it seems to be YouTube's doing, because the videos play just fine on my computer. It's not until they are uploaded that the audio lag occurs.

Drake · « **Reply #101 on:** May 08, 2010, 09:38:33 PM »

Yeah, it happened with my last video as well. I'm not entirely sure what causes this problem though, because for some reason some videos work fine and some have weird shitty errors that Youtube spits out. I'm not sure how I ended up fixing that issue, either...

lmagus · « **Reply #102 on:** May 13, 2010, 08:51:28 PM »

one of my videos got really crappy as well and i've been to lazy to fix

no idea why it got like this, and it was one out of 40 or so.

What kind of filters are we talking about here? I'm wanting to start uploading videos to YouTube, and everything else I can handle, but what sorts of filters do I need?

Sadly no matter how simple or what programs you use, when the only PC you have is a crappy netbook with an atom processor...

Do the math xD (although nice to know, cuz now I can use my friends comp to do this :3)

I use Fraps for recording a game with the game audio and Debut Capture Software version 1.34 for most of my Let`s Plays. Just putting it out there as a Let`s Player.

jbsnv · « **Reply #106 on:** June 02, 2010, 01:08:56 AM »

thx ill try it out some day

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #107 on:** June 02, 2010, 02:26:42 AM »

Uploaded the video, and it's giving me a "processing" signal. Should I be concerned that the length currently says 0:00?

LHCling · « **Reply #108 on:** June 02, 2010, 02:28:41 AM »

Not at all.

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #109 on:** June 02, 2010, 02:42:08 AM »

Oh shit, it says this is the finished quality. What did I do wrong?

Click the 360p button in the lower right of the player. It'll allow you to choose higher resolutions. Your video goes up to 720p, which is HD.

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #111 on:** June 02, 2010, 02:48:21 AM »

Did that. 720p looks even worse, and takes longer to load.

I did this with a 5000 bitrate, don't know why I'd be having these problems. I followed all the directions, and the upload to YouTube went smoothly. I did sneak a peek at the video as it was processing, but I doubt that's the problem.

Also, whenever I try to preview the video on QuickTime, it gives me an error. Says that an invalid sample description was found in the file.

Naut · « **Reply #112 on:** June 02, 2010, 02:51:12 AM »

Hmm, you're right, your video looks like shit :V

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #113 on:** June 02, 2010, 05:05:06 AM »

Well then, what do I do? The video is crap quality in VirtualDub once I resize it to YouTube-appropriate dimensions. How do I get Fraps to record a larger resolution and not shrink the video down to a tiny window? As it is, it looks like pixel soup once I stretch it out.

There's a likely source of quality degradation. Make sure that Half-size isn't checked. I don't know of any other sources which would decrease resolution in the recording stage of things.

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #115 on:** June 02, 2010, 10:22:47 PM »

Oh crap, I forgot about that!

I'm not sure my processor is uber enough to handle it, though. What are your specs, guys?

LHCling · « **Reply #116 on:** June 02, 2010, 10:33:11 PM »

XP SP3
DualCore 2.40 GHz (Intel)
2 GB RAM (for what it's worth)
GeForce 7600 GS - this also has 512 MB Memory, given the purpose of Memory in a graphics card it's essentially additional RAM.
Sound card is irrelevant to recording speeds I believe.

... :colonveeplusalpha:

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #117 on:** June 02, 2010, 11:38:43 PM »

I don't have a graphics card like that or a dual-core CPU, but I think I can manage. Will post results. Knowing my luck with anything Touhou-related, I'll probably fail.

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #118 on:** June 03, 2010, 10:49:35 PM »

One more thing: what determines how different the progressively high definitions look? Every video automatically comes with 480p and 720p variants, but do I have to do anything special to make sure they look better?

omgrandomnumbers · « **Reply #119 on:** June 05, 2010, 01:18:28 AM »

Recorded full-size with only moderate lag, but the sound jitters in VirtualDub. It doesn't when I play a preview in the video folder. Should I be concerned? And if so, how do I fix it?
