So -- you want to make a movie (some folks have asked)?
THINGS YOU NEED: | 1. | VCR (hooked to your TV Out, so you can record what you see during gameplay) | | Just keep trying until you do what you want. It took me about 20 times to perfomr what I wanted without rolling the Hog while doing flips and spins off a variety of ramps. | 2. | Video Tapes | | Because they are cheap and reusable | 3. | Electrical power | | OK, too much detail | 4. | Video Capture Card (or TV Tuner to bring signal in) | | - Any ATI AiW Cards (check Pricewatch.com)
- I use a Radeon 32Mb AiW, you can pickup for $115 (I paid $299)
| 5. | Miscellaneous software | | | | | WHAT TO DO: | 1. | Play the game, while recording with the VCR | 2. | When you area happy, turn around, and push the video into your PC by hooking a VCR up to the Video Capture Card | 3. | Use VDUB, with a 352x240 (ntsc) frame size, to capture to a file. Using the Huffy codec (on the VDub site), you can keep the file relatively small | 4. | Bring video into your Editing tool, cut/snip/paste, add audio, add transitions Always test, and then export the video to a full AVI format | 5. | Encode to your final output format from the original, lossless AVI (created above) | 6. | Deliver (via web by embedding into an html document) |
This is all pretty high-level, and requires some experience.
The use of VCR or Video Camcorder is pretty popular.
