help with movie making =(

by laska • 25 Apr 2008, 14:29 • Journals
Okay so I tried to make some sort of a test clip that is around 7-8 secs long. I recorded it with cl_avidemo 200 and everything. So my screenshot folder is around 21GB big. This was the first time I wondered, nevertheless I followed all the steps in hannes' tutorial. So now I'm rendering and those 7-8 secs will be about 75GB big. Waddafuck help plx =(

no
did you use cl_avidemo with timescale 1 for sure? maybe you had it on 0.1 accidentally so it took like 20000 shots per second

Use image (#image @ QuakeNet ^^) and try using lagarith codec - superior compression comparing to HUFV ;p

in virtualdub, change the fps of the clip you want to do to 200fps.

im at work, cant remember where it is, but its in one of the options from the first few tabs at the top. default is 29.xxx so your 8 second file is becoming close to 1 minute which could account for the size.

it could also be timescale, you say you get nearly 6000 frames from an 8 second capture @ 200fps? 8x200 = 1600 @ timescale 1. so maybe recheck that.

And the size will be fine,

now this topic is here, i got a small question for someone with "brains ;<" If i do cl_avidemo 200, it takes 35mins to record 5seconds :x ( yes i use a new et with only 1 demo and 1 map ) anyone knows the problem ?
▼
MerlinatoR 25 Apr 2008, 16:37
when you say record you mean capture the screenshots from et? sounds like small HD space, using a secondary HD or old PC. if none who knows. =(

what r_mode are you using?
Parent
▼
BrooodjeAap 25 Apr 2008, 16:40
8 , using quakyhd.cfg
Parent
▼
MerlinatoR 25 Apr 2008, 16:42
makes sure timescale is 1, of course ;]

are you running anything else while capturing? musics/video/etc?
Parent
▼
BrooodjeAap 25 Apr 2008, 16:44
nope only my ET
Parent
▼
MerlinatoR 25 Apr 2008, 16:47
also try it with r_mode 11 or 6 just to see if its an mode issue

Parent

Deactivated5924 25 Apr 2008, 16:40
hmm.. timescale 1? try binding timescale after cl_avidemo
Parent
▼
BrooodjeAap 25 Apr 2008, 16:43
its still slow, also after i caputered from ET , and open it in virutaldub its going very very slow ;/. it looks liketimescale is 0.2 or smth but it is actually running on 1 :x
Parent
▼
Deactivated5924 25 Apr 2008, 16:44
its supposed to be slow in vdub

check how many screenshots you have after recording for 5 sec
Parent

BrooodjeAap 25 Apr 2008, 16:46

Deactivated5924 25 Apr 2008, 16:53

MerlinatoR 25 Apr 2008, 16:59
if you managed to get 5secs in 6mins @ cl_avidemo 100 and it takes 35 mins @ 200 just try timescale 0.5 @ 100 and should be exactly the same.
