Quasar video

Arch0wl · 03-5-2004, 02:04 AM

In this video, I am playing Eggman's Quasar on 1.5x music speed (NOT SCROLL SPEED, download it and you'll see what I'm talking about).

A few things to note:

1) I used frontcam for this video. Thus, the file is 81 megs and the animation is at 30 fps so it's not exactly the most fluid thing in the world. Granted it's not UBER LAGGY, it's still not the most fluid thing in the world.

2) I went out of my way to prove I am not BS in this video. You can see the ini, the path to the ini, and me selecting the judge difficulty before I start.

3) I purposely messed around on the last set of arrows so people wouldn't assume the vid was just sped up (look at the arrow marquee if you don't believe me)

4) I did not record the whole desktop, because it makes it EXTREMELY LAGGY. It was laggy as it is when I was recording, so if I recorded the desktop I would not have been able to get a decent score at all.

5) The score is not near as good as my best because of the lag in the video. I messed up about three times in the vid, and you can see the energy in my fingers starting to fall near the end.

6) You MIGHT need DivX to view this vid, I'm not sure

7) Despite all this, some people will still probably claim it's fake.

This file will take about roughly 40 minutes to download at 34kb/s, so if you're on a 56k don't even bother since it will take you forever and a half. If you download it and want to show it to your hundreds of stepmania pals, instead of giving my site the equivelant of a bandwith ass raping, send it to them through a file share or something because jesus christ I don't have unmetered bandwith.

So yeah, here you go, hopefully you will enjoy the bandwith and effort I put into this (right click, save as):

Downloading now. It's always fun to watch other people play FFR.

RobbyZero · 03-5-2004, 02:30 AM

Just finished watching it and wow amazing..I can't wait til I can own a level like that with my indexs holy crap.

Nice Arch..Very cool.

banditcom · 03-5-2004, 03:22 AM

Insane with index fingers...

Arch0wl · 03-5-2004, 03:35 AM

Thanks guys

I also have a vid of me getting 1 miss on Paranoia Respect, but it's only a fraction of a vid and the sound is out of sync

*removed*/paranoiarespect.avi

Oh yeah and just a reminder I will remove this when my bandwith is over 12 or so gigs used for the month, since my max is 20 and going any further than 12 is risky

Fx5200 that sucks...anyway that was pretty impressive...

altairian · 03-5-2004, 09:31 AM

very nice arch
how'd you record the sound so that it actually went with the video?

Arch0wl · 03-5-2004, 11:52 AM

I don't know, but my recording settings were

capture rate 30 fps
playback rate 30 fps
sound capture rate 16bit 11000 hz

if that helps

Nima · 03-5-2004, 12:30 PM

Good work man, but don't worry nobody ever doubted you.

altairian · 03-5-2004, 12:41 PM

hmm, i'll have to try out frontcam again once i add RAM to my comp and see if it works better...

Nima · 03-5-2004, 12:44 PM

that must be crazy hard with indexs WTF lol.. especially any turns. But the only thing were the greats on the easy parts ;P Otherwise with index? crazy shit

altairian · 03-5-2004, 12:45 PM

Frontcam makes SM lag so the random greats didn't surprise me...

**jimerax** · 03-5-2004, 12:53 PM

Good work Arch, cool playing, high visual quality, and with sound, I enjoyed it.
It took me only about 3 minutes to download it.

Quasar video is around 15 fps on my pc, though that is sufficient.
Paranoia Respect video was around 32 fps.

Nima · 03-5-2004, 12:54 PM

how'd you start up frontcam in the middle of the game? lol nice

**87x** · 03-5-2004, 01:07 PM

didnt.. probably recorded the whole thing.. then just edited it down...

**Reach** · 03-5-2004, 01:53 PM

Nicely done

I never tried quasar on 1.5 speed...i know the steps arn't very hard with your index fingers...but trying to mirror those steps...pretty hard to keep up.

Nima · 03-5-2004, 01:58 PM

i haven't played that song period. And im not going to play anything right now cause im sucking at sm today for some reason lol.

SoujiroXx · 03-5-2004, 02:48 PM

nice Arch - does note help you much? and, you spelled despite wrong -.-

Arch0wl · 03-5-2004, 04:20 PM

Thanks Souj. Always good when I'm corrected on my grammar - I still spell despite wrong sometimes out of habit x_x

Also, yeah 87x that's what I did, since I didn't want to upload another 80 mb monster since the sound for the entire video was out of sync

thefantomfreak is recompressing the vid for me though, so I will probably be able to have it up longer

And yes, note helps a lot.

Nima, anyone is doubtable on anything they do, since videos can be faked just as easily as pics and use lag as an excuse or something

Anuj · 03-5-2004, 04:28 PM

Am downloading your video right now Arch... cant wait
But you should zip up those things with winrar... they really pack em down... my 34 meg vid got down to 8
