Download and install Lagarith (mentioned in the OP of this thread) and use that as your codec. It'll give you lossless recording while keeping your file size much smaller than the default setting. From there, you can do whatever edits you need and then encode your final video using the stuff in the OP.

ChaosArgate posted:Edit: Before I forget, with the new Miiverse update allowing 3DS users to take screenshots of games that allow it, would that be a decent way of doing an SSLP? I don't think so. For every screenshot you'd have to hit Home, load Miiverse (which takes a while) and post the screenshot (which I think everyone could see). Then you'd have to get on your PC and get the shots. It's possible! But I don't think it'd be any fun.

If you could actually keep Miiverse running in the background it could be considered, but as-is you have to reload the app -- which takes like half a minute! -- every time you want a different screenshot, so yeah, not recommended. It doesn't scale them particularly well either from what I've seen, gimme a bit and I'll show an example...

Nevermind, looks like the bad scaling is caused by the app/website, the raw screenshots it generates look really nice. Left is a (I assume) raw capture I grabbed off Giant Bomb, right is my Miiverse post.   I guess you could use this to make LPs, but the half a minute load per screenshot is still a bit much.

Do you need to go to Miiverse? Can you not pull it off of the SD card it saves to?

WitherSnow posted:2. There has not been a localization to my knowledge. Mother 3 has a fan translation; I *believe* it will run off a DSTwo flash cart, but I can't test that right now, and anyway it probably wouldn't work with Miiverse Plaza because the DSTwo runs in DS mode.

Oh, I thought the Miiverse was a separate app that would close whatever game you were running, and this added something to the hypervisor so that pressing L+R allowed you to take screenshots that you could post later. Nevermind.

I didn't mess with the settings. I just chose the option in the emulator and play the game. It allows me to select where the file will be but that's it.

From memory I think those are the only two with screenshot saving built-in? It's still dumb. Maybe they'll add in browser uploading like the Wii U, but that'd still take an eon.

I'm having issues with capturing screens for an older PC game; I wondered if anyone else had run into a similar problem. I'm using Irfanview to capture the screens. For some reason the menu shots look fine: But the in-game shots look horrible:  I'm still pretty new at this, and honestly, I have no idea what to do here. The game LOOKS fine when I play it. When I capture the screens, though, it turns to that.

If you're not, then I suggest you record your video with only your game audio and record your commentary in post. Either that, or just lower your game's audio.

Basically show me your irfanview options. Are you capturing in PNG-8? If so, try setting to PNG-24 and see if that changes it (I don't know if Irfanview uses exactly those terms, but something like it) - or as a test, capture in JPEG native - does that change?

After (deservedly)getting chewed out in the Sandcastle for using a video capture with a watermark, I tried out Camtasia. After some false starts, I managed to record some videos, but they feel kind of jerky. Is it just my imagination, and if not what can I do about it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwJ9cd4jU0g

Just from personal experience, I've found Hypercam 2 to be better than Camtasia. Make sure you're using the Logarith Lossless Codec, and are recording at 30 frames per second... I decided it'd be easier to just post pictures of what the tabs look like.    I'm not a tech support master but these settings work for me (having that "make this rectangle blink" box checked is important!). Something that may be happening is that you're trying to record too big of a window and your computer can't deal with it well. If that's the case you may want to look into OBS (Open Broadcast Software). Or just make the window smaller.

Dongattack posted:Have you guys had a look at "Shadowplay" by the way? The "Nvidia record and take up way less space and use up less FPS" thing, to the layman i gotta say it looks kinda cool, but also a bit too good to be true? The good news is that it's easy to set up, didn't slow down my computer at all, and made a really nice-looking video. The bad news is that it does indeed only work in fullscreen games and I couldn't stop it from recording at 60 FPS and turning fifteen minutes of footage into a three gigabyte MP4. I don't even know how to edit MP4s. I'd probably switch from Fraps to Shadowplay if they either fixed all of these issues or if I knew how to work around them.

So I had all this working but had to re-install windows and pretty much all of my programs and now VirtualDub does not recognize anything but my headset for audio input so I can't capture any audio. This is what it looks like currently:  If I unplug my headset it says no audio drivers found so I figured I'd try and update my audio drivers but still nothing. I'm using VirtualDub in conjunction with SCFH to try and record on Project 64. Like I said I had it working previously. Fraps record video fine but the audio quality is poor. Any ideas what to do from here would be greatly appreciated.

64-bit Windows 7, same as it was before. The audio drivers I made sure to download the 64-bit ones. As far as I know I shouldn't need a different version of VDub right?

If you can find any posts about this problem in AOE2 maybe you can find something to fix GB.

It looks to me like it's a palette issue. Whatever's capturing the image isn't getting the correct palette, so you've got flat-out wrong colors. Which makes sense, if it's based on Age of Empires II, since as I recall that game ran using 256 colors. If it's possible to force the game to use 16-bit or 24-bit colors (also called "thousands"/"millions" or "65k"/"16 million"), try doing that? (Check in the graphics options.)

What options are available for PSP capture? I assume the path of least resistance is probably buying a later PSP model and using video out? I have a PSP-1001 which doesn't have native video support and I'm not necessarily in a position to buy another one right now.
