How to find all demos which have been ripped to video?

NEW: Traction - Ante dominum
'cause I like it.
That was the last one waiting to be added. It may take a few weeks now till I'll make some new captures...

i finally did this
quite crude but helps find demos with videos alot more then nothing at all..

just does a where "downloadlinks.type like 'video%'"
if you find any bugs let me know..
enhancment requests are for gargaj's v2 of pouet.

NEW: Calodox - Death in Vegas. A classic 64k featuring a superb first effect and lots of jellyfish. Big thanks to ryg for the audio track!

rarefluid: i love your demo caps but why not using common standards ?
60 fps are overkill for a standard xvid/mp3 video, specially with a resolution bigger than common use, they make your caps heavy and sluggish on average machines for no real quality improvement, whereas the very purpose of a videocap is to be playable on most machines compared to the realtime exe...
am i wrong or abusive to grumble about it ?

i'm not with zest here.
when doing a video, one should try to represent the original demo as close as possible.
most demos produce way more than the 24 fps known from cinema, so capturing at a higher framerate absolutely makes sense.
sidenote: this doesn't hurt the filesize too much since inter-frame-difference is smaller.
Especially when talking about dos-demos, the usual vga-output runs at 70hz, reducing the framerate to 1/3 just to get somewhere near 24 fps really hurts most effects.

I'm with hellfire.
Any one could convert this one :

hellfire : totally
then i guess that you all watch those videos on at least some dualcores or that you have disabled the default postprocessing xvid filters :-)
perhaps also a youtube.php which doese a where "downloadlinks.type like 'youtube%'" ?
Zest: correct
zest, why the hell use postprocessing filters on such videos?
skrebbel: i agree but lazy people don't modify those parameters for each xvid they read...
sounds like wurstcaptures needs a wurstplayer!
zest: simply think ahead. in one or two years, you have a fast pc or a cheap standalone-player from china which *could* handle high-quality videos but instead you only have frame-reduced low-resolution captures because you were complaining...

right.

Hehe. Maybe I should consider working together with micksam and his capped project.
and: Current standard machines can handle h.264-streams @800x600/60fps or more. All the new graphics cards have h.264-acceleration in hardware by now.
I have a Pentium M 1.8 GHz that keeps dropping frames with some h.264 videos, so I can't watch some of my own h.264 captures :) Still I do them in high resolution...
But the laptop/CPU is >3 years old now, which is a reasonable time after which to upgrade/buy new stuff...
Yeah. Get a new computer ;)

but you must reckon that it's kind of odd to have to buy a new computer in order to be able to watch *videos of demos*.
especially *really old demos that would run perfectly on your computer in an even higher resolution than the video*. agreed :)
But video as a media has certain advantages. You can play it back on (future) players or your (current) HTPC/Media center and stream them. And they're quite good for archival purposes, because they're hardware/OS independent.
And seriously, if people can't play the Xvid-versions I suspect them to have a really ooold machine, as the demands on CPU power are much lower. Xvid 800x600@60fps should be absolutely no problem for machines that are ~4 years old...

My breakpoint present for you guys. I'll leave to spain tomorrow and will then go to Bingen. Come and meet me at BP08 Woohooo! :)
NEW: T-Rex - Your scientists invented electricity. Great intro. The tune is awesome. Was a bitch to compress actually. enjoy.

Oh, and I'll catch up on the DOS stuff when I have the vsync problems in DOSBox "fixed".
Someone can convert into video my demo BORG ?
Since I got a Mac, I never be able to watch my old demo :'(

looks nice, but kkapture won't record anything... sorry.
