Why can't I see what RMZX posted?

Maybe the site detected too many requests for the image with an external or unapproved referral URL(AKA Hotlinking).

That or the site's hosting itself is just flaky.

Think of it more like an in-line video signal bypass.
VixyNyan can correct me, but what I imagine is happening is that he is soldering in extra leads on the video signal pins for the LCD screens and running it through some sort of signal conversion to a USB port and then on the computer side it decodes the signal into Video that Windows or whatever other platforms he makes applications for it for can understand.

When you installed the TSSCC codec, drag the thing all the way to the left.



Then do a recording or whatever, preferably from a emulator source like SNES9x or whatever, then open with VirtualDubMod and output a PNG image from any frame. You will see godly pixel perfect no-color-loss results.

I never ever associated the word "lossless" with XVid.

TechSmith has their own video codec that actually does record in lossless while conserving storage space, so you don't have to choose the Uncompressed codec that's default in most codec listings. It's called "TechSmith Screen Capture Codec" and it comes bundled with Camtasia Studio (and its own sub-tools).

Ah, I know there is a "lossless" setting for one of the "mp4" encoders. I can't read goodly. I prefer MSU Screen Capture or UTVideo for my lossless, but I'll try out the Techsmith thing.

All things considered, this sounds like how RemoteJoyLite works for the Sony PSP.  All it did was display exactly (for the most part) what was on your PSP screen.  It's pretty lightweight itself, even when recording with FRAPS.  So lightweight, it could be run on older hardware, in fact.  It also has the added bonus of letting you control your PSP via PC game controller or keyboard, which is super nice for getting the real "full screen PSP" experience.

Yeah, Except this seems to have it's own dedicated video processor, while RJL uses software and that causes it to skip frames a bunch because it's using "Megahurtz" from the PSP to achieve its goal. If someone made something like this for PSP or Vita I would be interested, because having a dedicated hardware handling the video processing is nice.

On a similar note, I wonder if you can use this device to control the 3DS with a controller or keyboard/mouse. But I imagine not since this is just soldered to the Video out and has no access to the 3DS's "input" functions that RJL has because it works via software. Playing PSP games with a Dual Shock 2/3 is really comfortable.

I know the PS Eye does 640x480@75Hz(Or 320x240@125Hz) and it pretty much fully saturates the USB 2.0 bus. I wonder if when the 800x240 support is added someone could write a version of the program to be compatible with 3D monitors or TVs.

200 Is a bit much for me right now, but This seems like something really nice.

Uncompressed first. The software has limited codec selection but you can choose XVid and TechSmith lossless codec as well. I didn't have other tools ready while I was recording this at my job. I already have those tools here at home. ^^b

I prefer to keep all my images and videos at 1:1 ratio in the original resolution (400x480) as much as possible. But in the end, the results still looks good.

I don't think Xvid "lossless" is actually lossless, I'm pretty sure it's just "visually lossless", which means "enough people won't see or care about the loss so we'll call it lossless". I prefer using x264, but that's just because I never got into editing while divx/xvid was big.

I'd suggest using the MP4 container's built in Aspect Ratio flag, but the fact that the lines are so close together would probably screw with the encoding and nothing would look right. The best you could do would be to rotate the video and set the Interlaced flag.

I'll show some 60fps recordings later on. ^^

Looks like a really nice device. My only complaint is that it seems to use Micro USB and has no reinforcement for the USB cable itself. As if the weight of the cable will be on the port. Also, are you recording to Uncompressed AVI and then converting to MP4? Or are you recording directly to MP4?

This includes the two I linked to but it's best to get the latest versions of those. The older version of the package includes DVDDecryptor, but that is of no concern for this.

Borrowing this thread for a bit.

Hey everyone (and Hypershell and OBJECTION MAN and Satoryu and others), look what I can do now~



No it's not a webcam image.

I can do live streams and video recordings too~

Thank you, loopy, for your hard work!

Can it capture 800x240?

I just go make a sandwich or something. Also, you cam set a flash blocker to block flash until you click on it, and if it's a good one, you can restrict it to certain URLs.

There are two ways. MNG and APNG.
MNG is made by a group who wants a whole new standard. APNG is a hack of PNG that uses "Ancillary Chunks"(Sections of bits that are used for non-essential data) for extra frames. Because of this, MNG only works if your browser or editor specifically supports it. Meanwhile, APNG is technically to spec for PNG. If you cannot view APNGs, you can see the first(or a selected) frame of the animation because that frame is completely within the PNG Spec. All the other frames and timing data is in the Ancillary Chunks.

PS: Worst Caption Ever.

Grandia III. I just hit the second disk. I'm liking the Aerial mechanic and all the things I liked from 2 are still present.
The world needs more turn based games like Grandia.
