Use CamStudio. It is what I use and it works perfectly.

Re: ~Zero~'s SM64 Video Tourney

Well the pictures would have to be really convincing and since there pictures i would like them to be PMd to me so other players wont be tempted to look at them

Sounds good, i'll even include myself in the SS so it dosen't seem like i'm ripping the picture of the internet

Re: ~Zero~'s SM64 Video Tourney

Question, that gate of challenge 1 is the one that act of a wall for the rolling metal balls right? The one you can walk through in an opening in order to go to the mountain?

And do you really have to wall-kick to get there or any other method works?

Yes its the one with the balls and you MUST wall kick up there, you can wall kick from anywhere, at any height, but you must wall kick (theres plenty of other methods of getting up there, but i force you to wall kick)

My screen recorder seems to be stuck at making absurdly high-MB files even for short clips, forgot about that. Will have to drop this tourney.

It won't really make a difference once put in Youtube anyway. Find a better excuse to drop out.

I'm not going to upload files that are a gigabyte apiece. For some reason my desktop computer, no matter what recording software I use, spits out these absurdly huge filesizes. I suspect it's my desktop resolution, but like hell am I changing that. Either that or I need more efficient codecs.

Hmmm.. You could always Use Windows Movie maker to cut it up into bits then recompile it, the filesize should be reduced by alot. I'm not exactly sure how to do it, so i'll ask my gf when she gets home and I'll get back to you on it.

Re: ~Zero~'s SM64 Video Tourney

If you are playing in 1920x1080, of course the files are going to be huge. Quadratically huge. But using 800x600 (windowed) with CamStudio with default settings, a 1 minute clip is about 50 MB.

And question: how is mission 7 going to be judged?

EDIT: You can also use WMM to lower the quality as ScaryArrows said.

Re: ~Zero~'s SM64 Video Tourney

I mean even when the screen is in a windowed mode, the files are HUGE. I just tried at a lower res and it's still the same. At the same res on my slow-ass piece of crap laptop, the files are much smaller, even with the same codec.

Re: ~Zero~'s SM64 Video Tourney

Check recording fps and the number of key frames (assuming you use .avi). Try other formats. .swf are really small usually.

If nothing can do, it looks like we finally found something your comp can't decently run.

Re: ~Zero~'s SM64 Video Tourney

I'm gonna toss this here for anyone else that wants to reduce filesize for the vids of they are playing on a pc.

1.)Load the file in Windows Movie Maker
2.)Save it in WMM

-File size will be reduced, but i'm not sure as to if it will be alot, or just a bit. But hopefully this helps ;D
