Well, it seems almost all of my video recording woes are fixed...except for the fact that both Sonic Unleashed and Colours lag like crazy when I record footage of them, both on Arcsoft Total Media Extreme 2 and Debut Video Capture. Could it be the EZCap simply being unable to keep up with these games' faster paced gameplay? !techponies

YES!!! The video uploaded perfectly, no video speed up or slow down or out of sync audio :D Hope these new settings work for Sonic games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtIm0wr9Cx0&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL !techponies

@pawnheart It is, as far as hardware set up goes, software wise I've been having to do a lot of work to get it to work properly, but I think I'm getting there, if I'm not already.
-
@jinny I just wanted to see how a non Sonic game/an FPS would fair under the settings I used.
-
@leonkfox Yes, well it looks lovely. ^^ I'm not so good at Wii FPS games myself though. ;)

My 4th EZCap test is now uploaded, I played The Conduit this time ,can't watch it atm so let me know how it turned out! http://bit.ly/o1N1l !techponies
-
Rendering my 4th test with my EZCap, and I may be having some luck, it seems to like slower paced games! (tried it with Conduit) I AM gonna have to find a way to make it work for Sonic games, but regardless it seems all is not lost! !techponies
-
Dammit, the EZCap's picture quality looks so good and the audio is synced, just need to fix bloody frame rate and get it consistently smooth. !techponies

Gah, damn it, I did fix the audio, but the frame rate gets choppy on my latest test. Opposite problem of it going in fast forward mode! x.x !techponies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4L9decQ0Nk

@pinhooves I downloaded a trial of Pinnacle Studio, but it would only display the feed in black and white x.x
-
@leonkfox That's unusual for a trial...
-
@pinhooves No idea if it even IS a limitation of the trial, it could just be a problem in general. Arcsoft Total Media doesn't even do it, heck, even AmCap doesn't.

The Sonic Colours EZCap test is now rendered and is uploading, I am really hoping that rendering it in AVS Video Editor will do the trick. !techponies
Monday, 24-Oct-11 00:00:50 UTC from web -
I'm just gonna use Arcsoft Total Media one more time, but render the footage through AVS this time. !techponies
-
Pinnacle Studio is only showing my capture card's footage in black and white x.x And I checked, it is set to NTSC already. !techponies
-
I am now installing Pinnacle Studio 12 ,gonna record a third test using it and run it through AVS video editor when I'm done. !techponies
-
God damn it YOUTUbananas The second test is still out of sync, I've noticed the video goes into super fast forward but the audio doesn't, hence why it's out of sync when it doesn't on the RAW video, and also, some of that level got cut off towards the end. I am never going to get this heap of papayas to work. !techponies

@fuschiaperspective I had heard about the file types ,but not the browser specific uploading. I was using Chrome to upload them, I'll install Firefox and render the files through AVS, see if it helps.
-
@leonkfox Firefox is what I use for uploading. It has a nice browser specific interface. I just hope this all helps you. :)
-
@fuschiaperspective As I said, I'll give it a try, hope it all works out, thanks. :)

New EZCap test uploaded, same program, different laptop. Let's hope it worked properly this time. http://bit.ly/pOQDgi !techponies

Tried recording another EZCap test using Arcsoft Total Media Extreme 2 again, only this time on the laptop, raw file has the sound in sync. If the sound goes out of sync again it'll be YouTube that's doing it. ¬_¬ !techponies

Wow, a 269mb download is going to take an hour on the connection I can pick up from my nan's place :S (It's video capture software) !techponies
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 18:56:50 UTC from web -
Gone back home and got my stuff for my nan's after going out to see TinTin and see a friend at the same time. Also, I was allowed to borrow the laptop ,so my efforts to find a decent recording set up will be able to continue when she naps. ^^ !techponies

I did what @ceruleanspark told me to ,put Ponyspin on a Macbook before I left the Apple Store, got an odd look as I did :P !techponies
- scoot and LyokoTravels like this.

Used an iPhone 4s, still think the screen is too small to type on, cursor liked to become stuck in place as well, so annoying x.x !techponies
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 13:01:38 UTC from web -
Gonna try the iPhone 4S, not buying one, just out of pure morbid curiosity. !techponies
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 12:41:42 UTC from web-
@leonkfox Pay close attention to how lovely the screen is. Also play with Siri.
-
@ceruleanspark Siri wouldn't work properly for me or my friend, and the screen is beautiful, but I find the keyboard far too small.
-
-
When I get back in a few days' time I'm going to try out Pinnacle Studio for recording the EZCap, which is what a friend of mine uses. !techponies
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 12:34:06 UTC from web -
In regards to my woes with finding decent software for my EZCap, where the files don't go out of sync when uploaded...still got nothin'. !techponies
-
My results were even worse with the Easycap. Well I am officially done with this apples for the night, g'night everypony. !techponies
-
Just as an experiment, I'm going to try using the Easycap rather than the EZCap, to see if this is all a hardware or software problem. !techponies
-
AVS's capture software gave me terrible frame rate and cut off most of my capturing. Either all this software is bananas or this EZCap is buggered ,but then if it was, why does my Chun Nan test play fine on my PC, but not on YouTube? I am on the edge of giving up on this for the night x.x !techponies
-
Well, I have no idea how I'm going to get around this one, what if YouTube does this with files from every captuing software program? !techponies
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 01:21:11 UTC from web -
Wait...the sound is in sync on the normal video when played off of my PC...what the **** YouTube?! >< !techponies
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 01:17:27 UTC from web -
Gah, the god damn sound is out of sync. Maybe it's time to find different software. !techponies
Sunday, 23-Oct-11 01:13:55 UTC from web -
The EZCap test is now uploaded, let me know your advice for Arcsoft Total Media Extreme, or of other software to use! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jah1NBFtl5I !techponies

Sometimes I wonder if I may as well have just spent a bit more money and gotten a Samsung Galaxy S2, since I actually use my phone's on screen keyboard quite a bit anyway, like I am right now. !androidbronies !techponies
-
@jinny The phone I'm using right now is made by htc, heh. It's a Desire Z, more specifically.

My computron seems to think it only has 1 GB of RAM. This worries me. !techponies

@scribusthehomicidalmaniac Memtest86 up in this mofo
-
@ceruleanspark Turns out one of the chips was loose. =/ Wonder when that happened?

I think on Sunday I'm going to switch from my highly-dissatisfying Lubuntu (Ubuntu with LXDE) install to OpenSUSE. Just hope it works with my wireless card. !techponies #Linux
