I've got 300 more of the horizontal ones to convert to WMV (320x240) and then I'm going to re-do the 1,400 I did in lower quality yesterday.

We should probably figure out what you want with the vertical ones before I finish those so I can start on them right away.  If you PM me your email I'll send you sample AVI vids.

Alright.... I'm going to bed for now bro...

I deleted the lower quality videos I converted the other day.  Now there are 1,800 videos converted to 320x240.  I only have 1,500 more horizontal games to convert now.  I'm hoping that more than half of them finish before I wake up.

I'm getting close to the end of the NES synopsis too, so I can focus more on this tomorrow hopefully unless anything unexpected comes up.

Hi no email RX...there will be 2 people with FTP that may send us the link soon..... I have been adding a few more features and need a really nice screensaver video...10mins long of top games playing I have a few but its hard to send at present

Im thinking about screensaver features now we have video support??? should it go though videos instead of pics.... have our own long video...... go though pictures... shutdown or all/combination of above? suggestions welcome

[ressurectionx]

I did already email you a few WMVs and the converter if you check your email.  FTP will be MUCH better but until one of the guys gets back to us you have those vids you wanted now.

I think if somebody with some artistic talent wanted to make a video that would be the way to go for the screensaver.  Maybe a mash-up of hte best games or something.  I'm dumb at that stuff, so maybe you'd like to mention it in the other forum and see if somebody would be interested.

OK the build is finished......

ive also added some speed hacks for MK2 , MK3 and UMK this makes them playable now with sound but still needs some work so they are autoset to no sound...but you can turn off the autosound removal option and let me know what you think (sound or no sound)

Cool BP.

Like I said before I can't devote much if any time to MAME testing right now with all of the other projects I've got going on, but I am looking forward to a time when things cool down and I can try it out.  I'm happy to provide the videos though and I'll try my best to get the "best of" stuff out there for you all to download and try out when the beta is released.  I thought I'd be done with the NES synopsis today but it looks like it's going to take one more day (*hopefully*)

done the best of video pack .... a few need a little cleaning up as they sux but not many (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) and they are at least partially there

[ressurectionx]

Good to hear.  I'm assuming you have been working with pCe then?  I hadn't had the time to upload anything yet.

I want to get a little project together where people can catalog on a spreadsheet which videos are good, which ones should be replaced and which ones we still need.  I figure if there is enough interest then people might do that while I'm doing my Xtras work on the XPORT emulators.  Some people have mentioned that there is an ability to remove the black bars on the sides of the horizontal vids that really should be vertical videos.  We'll see how that goes.

Just tried this out BP.  Looking good man.

Just a few suggestions....

1) You're adding code so the game will use the video for the parent zipfile name right?  I don't see it doing that yet.  

2) For the vertical games, could you have them all the way to the right of the screen?  When you switch from a horizontal game (that is all the way to the right) to a vertical game it has a black bar on the right hand side.  With the fade effect I don't think you'd notice it on the left side.

3) Any way to "brighten" up the videos at all?  Especially for games like Defender and Asteroids.  You can barely see the video.

Great work getting that in there.  Still a few tweeks to make and we still need to get some improved videos, but it's a great start so far.

answer

1 Done
2 Easy to change in the skin

Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Detail.Screenshot.Area = 5,3,575,322  is the horizontal or streted vert screensize
Body.ScrollArea.SingleRow.Screenshot.Area = 80,3,505,322 is non stretched vertsize they would have to be done in sd and hd skin

3 Cant be done easiest to do is to alter the wmv brightness and convert.


Can you send me simpsons.avi and raiden.avi straight from highquality off emumovies pretty please so I can see what I could download...id like them totally unconverted from the site if possible
the avi you once sent me of sfa3 was 16.8 megs and when convert right looks spectacular I was wondering if the other avis are of this quality or where to get avis of this qaulity....

cheers

I know BP doesn't like doing the distribution thing, so I was going to release a MAME pack of the high quality videos here when he was through sorting them out and getting all the good ones together.  

Unfortunately, he says he doesn't have enough bandwidth to re-up them to the server we're using when he's done, so that isn't going to happen any time soon.  I may get around to it in a few months to a year on my own since MAME is at the bottom of my priority list now.  

Whatever...

We will have videos one day when I get around to it.

Why did you need us if you paid for it?  It was all on the server?  

Whatever man...

I'll just do the work on my own when I get to it.  I really wasn't expecting any more.  You go ahead and keep those videos to yourself.

[ressurectionx]

Fine dude.  Maybe you should explain that instead of just blowing me off when I ask you if you're going to put videos up when you're done.  

Your original answer to that question:  "2much bandwidth sorry"

Then when I call you out on it, you go into a 5 page discussion about why I'm a jackass.

Maybe if you took 5 seconds to explain that instead of being an ass when I call you out on it then we wouldn't be arguing again.

As far as I was concerned, you got what you needed out of me, like the WMV to XMV converter and the converted videos and then you were telling me to f*** off.

[BritneysPAIRS]

you publically blew me off.......... not the other way around. Ive told you to talk to me on MSN I can and have worked about 50 hours on this with other people with no issues and everything is going ahead full steam (the first pack is being fixed is done now and just needs syncing). Im sorry im short but an email every few days is getting nothing done.

PS I got a new wmv convert and rewrote some batch files, its on the ftp under the upload folder....also PC did alot of batch tools to make HD video conversion a dream and got them all converted in record time (cheers to him for doing this) to do bit rates etc
im sorry we havent discussed it with you but hey you have made yourself on the back bench not me.

I didnt get what I wanted out of you in the end I paid for access and got some interested people to grab and do alot of the work for me....which went great, you gave me a file that was in the xdk so is allready on my HD its no offense and I know you where tring to help, we have improved it now to make it work better for our project. I want help but it needs to be in a constructive way, I have not in ways talked badly about people on the project and at times have thanked them those that are involved properly, im sorry you feel discarded but the offer has been out there time and time again (but I dont sit back and wait for help I work on the princible I will have to do it myself....its great at times ive been proven wrong and great help happens, that has pushed this project along to new levels)

Alright.  Truce then...

I thought you were f***ing me...

I'll let you run with it with your people.  Like I've said before I've got way too much going on to get involved too deep in that project.  As it is, I already wasted two days converting the regular quality MAME videos that you're not even going to use now (I understand and HQ is better, it just sucks that I wasted all that time).  

I can't afford any more down time from working on this project and it seems like you've got plenty of help.
