Generally you don't want to use 30fps for a higher quality video. The point is for them to see it as a they would a replay.

Believe it or not, the VSync patch helps a lot. Try setting 16-bit color and killing unused processes.

Well, it seemed to work, though I'm pretty sure there's one part of the video where the audio jammed (I'm not sure because I can't hear any sound while recording).

Unfortunately, when I clicked Stop Recording, HyperCam crashed, and I ended up with a 16 GB file of nothing.

I'll try HD when I get a better computer. For now it's just a total pain. I was recording at 20 FPS anyway.

i'm not sure if the whole megui part that adds borders to the video is necessary anymore. At the time I first read this, the video i had uploaded didn't trigger the full wide screen hd mode in youtube so i planned to try it out... but now both it and a replay i just uploaded (warning: i suck, replay may be painful to watch ^^;) today (no borders added on either) seemed to turn out just fine. (or at least similar to the quality of the videos drake uploaded?)

source files were 640x480 recorded at 60fps.

Drake · « **Reply #33 on:** August 27, 2009, 08:15:25 AM »

Yes, Youtube is actually starting to get better with their quality. The borders are unneeded. Although it could still improve a tad. Not enough that it's a worry at all.

If you use the git version of x264 (which you should be anyways) there is a new set of preset options and one of them is --tune touhou. Just throwing bitrate at it isn't exactly the best way to encode things.

Seems a bit choppy in Youtube. It's not very smooth

weird.

ps: i used a 10000 bitrate.

Drake · « **Reply #36 on:** September 07, 2009, 11:28:27 PM »

It's fine. Probably just your computer~

lmagus · « **Reply #37 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:07:15 AM »

well, your video plays smoother than mine, for some reason...

and i really doubt it's my computer, as i have a high end pc...

ah well, i'm satisfied anyway

Helepolis · « **Reply #38 on:** September 14, 2009, 09:46:58 AM »

Hmmmm now this is some strange error.

I followed everything step by step. Download Avisynth + 264 codec.

Blumiere · « **Reply #39 on:** September 17, 2009, 07:43:38 AM »

E: Actually, I have a completely different problem now.

Instead of a video, all I get is audio. I'm pretty sure I did everything the tutorial said, so what can be causing the problem? I still have 3 processes when I click queue, plus I get the .mp4 file and open it with WMP, which just plays audio, there's no visual whatsoever.

(I'd appreciate if someone helped out this time...)

Bananamatic · « **Reply #40 on:** September 19, 2009, 05:50:08 PM »

Is there a way to make the AVI segments join faster? It takes like 2 hours to join together 2 segments which are 5 minutes total.... :V

Sorry I didn't catch the first question, first of all. This is actually kind of weird, as it's actually giving you an mp4 file. Your WMP might not have the correct codecs or something, if that's the case. Is it black video, or just nothing? Have you tried opening it in a different program? Can you open other mp4 files?

You can change the processing priority higher, the same way as with MeGUI. It'll just kill everything else you're doing at the time, so you pretty much just don't use the computer at the time. Kill unused processes and other large processes such as Firefox and possibly Fraps because they take up a bunch of memory.

Blumiere · « **Reply #42 on:** September 20, 2009, 02:23:47 AM »

Hmm. You're right, WMP doesn't have the correct codecs to display the video. I just uploaded the video onto youtube and they display it perfectly.

All I need now is a player that does have the right codec. Know of any?

Drake · « **Reply #43 on:** September 20, 2009, 02:39:08 AM »

Installing the codec pack will give you the option of getting Media Player Classic, which is what I use for pretty much anything. The CCCP is good to have even if you don't use it.

Bananamatic · « **Reply #44 on:** September 20, 2009, 12:50:55 PM »

waitwaitwait

how do you have video rendering rate at almost 20 fps? It goes barely at 4 for me, no matter what I set it to.

Drake · « **Reply #45 on:** September 20, 2009, 05:59:30 PM »

I guess dependant on your computers build as in CPU, memory, harddisks and graphic card.

I'll watch this when I have the time, but rest assured I'll find a way to misinterpret this.

I don't really understand that too much, but this is what the diagnostic tool puked out:

Intel Core 2 Duo CPU E6550 @2.33 GHz(2 CPUs)
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT
232 and 74GB HDs
Running XP.

Is 2-4 FPS expected? :V

EDIT: Just remembered that I didn't defrag any of my HDs, PERIOD. Which is like, 2 years. Could that be caused by that? :V

EDIT2: Weird.....my second HD(ancient, only 74 GB) renders it like 15x faster than the newer 232 GB one. Anyways, it's 30 FPS now :V

ebarrett · « **Reply #50 on:** October 06, 2009, 04:16:05 PM »

Any tips on how to make CamStudio not totally suck? Or any sneaky workaround for recording the PC-98 games with Fraps? I'm getting 20fps input at best, and that's disabling sound recording, while Fraps can capture at 90fps if needed when recording the Windows games.

I'm using Anex86, by the way - Next is giving me too much slowdown while playing no matter how much I tweak it, so I do not plan on changing emulators unless it's the only choice.

Gpop · « **Reply #51 on:** October 12, 2009, 10:34:01 PM »

Drake, I can't seem to update ANYTHING past mencoder, so I tried without updates but I keep getting errors when trying to encode D=

Drake · « **Reply #52 on:** October 13, 2009, 03:00:50 AM »

If the checkbox is grayed out you already have the most recent version :|

What does the log say?

That's the thing, it's not, and they that updates are available, but they skip them until it tries to download one but it just doesn't. It just stays at 0%

And the log usually says that there's an error in job1. That's it.

Looks good to me. It is choppy for you? I've heard a few people complaining of choppiness because their computer can't handle the awesome. The filesize is more or less due to the bitrate you use, you could tamper with it if you need.

Can you view my videos any better?

As for Gpop I honestly have no idea. It's going to keep giving you errors until you update, but if it just never updates...

Formless God · « **Reply #56 on:** October 15, 2009, 04:07:35 PM »

Same as above.

Youtube encodes your videos after you upload your videos using their own specs. I do not think they have any format, at least available to free users, that will display at higher than 30 FPS (although it's been a while since I looked into their formats).

Bananamatic · « **Reply #58 on:** December 06, 2009, 01:31:03 AM »

Might add a guide to encoding it straight in VDub, saves a lot of time :V

Yeah, if higher framerates are what you're interested in for your videos (and with Touhou, it should be) I would suggest using WeGame or blip.tv over Youtube. Of course, at those less popular sites the odds of people stumbling across your videos is a lot less.
