any advanced cropping features on the way? (like, "let's crop out the widescreen", etc.)

gargaj, i'm having some troubles capturing project genesis.. there are sometimes some corrupt video frames (like frames from a few frames/secs before) and sometimes annoying clicks in the audio. am going to try if windowed mode works better. no problem with the prophecy though.
(erm just mentioning because i saw your name in the credits of project genesis...)

hmh.
as far as i know we didnt make much of a change structurally between the two engines considering the "get time, clear, render, swap"-method...
then again the SOUND is considerably different - PG and APCU were XM-players, and starting from Beyond we've been using a realtime synth.
dunno what could cause those... *looks at ryg*

i don't get where those frameskips are exactly coming from. this has something to do with the sound system interfacing, but the actual issues are very hard to track. this is all in the interaction between several threads I have no control about...

what i've been doing so far is basically accumulating hacks till it works most of the time. i'll look into what i can do, but no promises (especially since right now i'm busy with other things ;)

the prophecy has no video errors, just 3 audio clicks.
beyond and binary flow work without errors.
i have now captured like 20 or so demos, so i have to say, despite the humble version number of 0.03, compatibility is actually very high :)

The prophecy here is impossible to fully capture. (.bmp + .wav) The audio captures fine (4:30 or so) while the video stops around frame 6830. Any idea? (Tried unsetting the "Sleep takes a full frame" checkbox, didn't do anything)

uhm, btw, how do i join all those bmp's to a full movie? any ideas?

VideoMaker also does the job.

Open the folder, press CTRL+A followed by SHIFT+DELETE and finally just click 'Yes' if any confirmation boxes pops up.
gemini: virtual dub can do the job...

gemini: virtual dub, premiere, videomaker, vegas..

And one more: mencoder. So us osX folx can do it too (:
i was just trying to kkapture brainchild by asd, i set resolution to 800x600 but it tried to capture at 592x372. i added some debug log stuff:
main: initializing...
video: gl change display settings ex.
setCaptureResolution(800,600) [0,0]
video: capturing at 800x600
video: init gl from dc.
setCaptureResolution(800,600) [800,600]
video: init gl from dc.
setCaptureResolution(800,600) [800,600]
video: init gl from dc.
setCaptureResolution(594,372) [800,600]
video: init gl from dc.
setCaptureResolution(594,372) [800,600]

my fix for now: video.cpp line 54: change "!=" to ">" seems to work for now... there seem to be several demos that have this problem (e.g. plastic 155/95, lady of dark automn, meet the biots), i guess lots of opengl demos...
hope this helps

is it possible to write separate videofiles when program changes resolution? at the moment program just crashes. something like first file is nameofexe.avi, as soon as res has changed nameofexe2.avi and so on.

THANKYOU!!! some demos look outstanding at 50FPS. which demos do you like at high speed?

Anybody managed to capture plastics latest demo?

works fine at 640x480, didn't try other resolutions.

ryg : the point was FINALLY PUT IT ONLINE FFS PLEASE :DD

i don't have any location where i could host it, so, well, no. :)

I must not be doing it right, because I can't capture .the .product... It seems to just sit there for hours. I think I let it run for about 18 hours before deciding that it must've done SOMEthing. It didn't seem to, though; the .avi file was 0 bytes so I assume it either never stored anything or erased everything when I killed it

fresnel2 capture throws an exception on intro shutdown :/

/offtopic
ryg : maybe sceneorg ftp would do ? ;)
anyway it seems easier to get a new gfx card than to wait for a capture nowadays.

sorry fo dblpost but i've just realized that there aint no final of 195/55 ( 155/55 ) yet so putting partyversion video online seems rather bad idea.
but otoh, as bonzaj said "The final version will be totaly different starting from 2:20:300."
so it wont be totally pointless too.
maybe we should wait for some 100% bugfixed partyversion or smth

crusader, turn "skip digital silence at start" on.

ryg: what about different video files when app changes resolution? right now kkapture just crashes.

kkowboy seems to perform some timing check at startup using timeGetTime()
so the trivial hack adds these lines to Mine_timeGetTime() in timing.cpp:
if (frame<11) {
firstTime = Real_timeGetTime();
return firstTime;
}

no idea how to automatise that though ;)
