Compressed Quality
First, you need to split the Composite Video/Audio Cables, and put one set into your TV and the other set into your TV Wonder PRO.
HaloGod uses the capture program (TV) that comes with the ATI.
Settings for recording :
- MPEG-2
- Deinterlacing Options: De-interlace - NTSC 720x480
- P Frames 4 (The frames should be set at this already)
- B Frames 2
- Max Bit Rate: 10 mbit a second
- Target 8 mbit a second
- Motion Estimate Quality 100
- Audio 224 k a sec
The rest I don't think I changed, but this will only matter if you are using an ATI TV Wonder Pro.
Download the
huffyuv codec (Not necessary but it cut's your file size down - you'll see later in the post)
After you have your footage recorded into MPEG-2 format, use a program called
Virtual Dub MPEG 2 which you then use to open all of the MPEG 2 files (you recorded earlier) into.
- File / Open Video File / YourClip
- Select In and Out points
- Then select video / compression pick Uncompressed RGB (If you downloaded the huffyuv codec from a prior step, this is where you then select Huffyuv)
- Press ok
- Then File / Save Segmented .AVI file
- Specify your name and location and you're done with that clip.
- Then import the clips you have into your editing program
- select format / windows media video
- Then audiences tab
- use D1/DV NTSC (.9) [ that basically equals 720x480]
- Audio Format 128 kbps 44 khz Stereo VBR
- Frame Rate 29.97
- Average bit rate is dependant on how large you want your file size to be I normally only need 1.5 to keep great quality. Whereas, most of the dumb people at h2f use 3 mb and up getting over twice the size of my videos' with less quality.
- (The rest of the settings in audience shouldn't need to be changed)
- Then click the video tab
- codec: windows media video 9
- bitrate: Variable unconstrained
- Now click the audio tab
- codec: windows media audio 9.1
- bitrate: Variable unconstrained
