Post by: al il professore on April 26, 2003, 11:19:59 AM
how to capture a film about what happens on the screen when i do a crazy stunts.

i know the bmp capture. I need a video capture program under dos.

Or a automated bmp capture every x times. any precise ideas welcome
Title: movie

I dunno any program like that under DOS.
But you can use the key "print screen" and then paste it on any image manager program (I use Paint Shop Pro) and save the file as a GIF image.
Repeat it often, using Stunts replay manager.
Then, use GIF Animator to create an animated gif reproducing a "movie".

It will take time and efforts to do a good "movie", but that's the only way I know.

krys method is the one i know and used sometimes. I had used it this is good for three seconds max.

snagit will capture a dos window. not a full screen like stunts :)

VIVA STUNTS VCR

now i prepare a clip, and i come back to put a link to it ;) (what will be a universal video format? mpg? (too heavy) divx (compatibility with latest codecs) rm (real one is the best, because it opens a window from the browser and can play a streaming video but i dont know if i can create those format) I will tend to the divx at first: light, simple for me, good for u. see u pals.

it's simple to do... and no one needed it until now... in fact i was the lonely nut to do it

1. open stunts in a dos emulator like dosbox, the interest is that a dos emulator displays the replays on a window that a screen capture program can save into an avi file.
2. open a program like hypersnap dx or snagit, select the window of dosbox, chose the video compression format press REC on tape
3. edit cut place the music... and publish the final avi file with virtualdub or windows movie maker.

hardware: it must be able to run a dos emulator (heavy) and a screen capture program in the same time. it worked two years ago on 800mhz with 128mb ram.

I'd like to see something like that. Specially the split-screen between the 2 best times of every race.

I browsed the forum memberlist and tested the members links to their own websites.
Some are old url that should be corrected, or pages are not online anymore.

And I found one funny thing. Member is Phoxetix (a.k.a. Phox on his website).
He did a black & white video of Stunts, using a standard old VHS tape camera.

Nowadays, we can use digital videos so quality would be higher. And this would be the proof of no-RH racing.

Anyway, here is the page : http://www.angelfire.com/ego/phoxetis/projects/stunts/

Technical background is available, maybe some WSM videos can make it more interesting. Unless we won't have any WSM ever...

now you would rather write poetry about the 2003 season? :)

I would do that too! We did have a brief stint of wonderful Stunts-poetry. Krys wrote some nice things too.
However, the film idea is still great! It's just the style of my message that shocks me :)
