LOL, I record at -10 speed, which results in 4-7 fps or so. You then speed up that footage to 75 fps, then slow down that footage to 25 fps for use in the vid.

I have a low end system, so pretty much anyone can do this.

Thank you SO much for clarifying that! I was about to break into your house and make love to your PC based on that vid...

Actually now I'm kinda embarassed... I shouldn't have said anything at all, huh?

*slowly back out of thread*

It's being captured with Fraps, and the scenes are being put together with VirtualDubMod.

That's pretty much it: capture scenes in-game via Fraps, save the parts you like from those captures via VDM, and then go through those scenes one by one until you find one that synches with the part of the song you're on.

The only trick is framerate conversions. On my comp, I typically get one unique frame in three when recording, so running the resulting vids at 75 fps and then converting to 25 (i.e. keeping only 1 of every 3 frames), gives me smooth playback.

Keep your original saves at their original framerate (10 in my case), because running those at 75 doesn't always work out. Sometimes the scenes are much too fast, and running at 50 or so will give a more accurate speed.

So, step by step, here's the process:

1. Play the game at -10 speed when you want to capture (like when a battle starts).

2. Go through the resulting captures and save the parts you like. In VDM itself, I have to run at 199 fps and decimate by 2 or 3 (skipping frames), to get it to play at a realistic speed. I don't know why you can't just run it at 75 fps at this point, but it doesn't work.

Anyway, when you've isolated a scene you want, keep the original framerate and save in whatever compression format you want (I go with max quality Xvid, although you can go with uncompressed if you have several hundred GB of open hard drive space).

3. Take these scenes and save a small version at 75 fps.

4. Take that scene, convert it to 25 fps, and save. The resulting vid is what you use to make the vid. You can now delete the 75 fps version.

5. When you've decided that a particular scene works, do steps 3 and 4 at max quality in a separate folder. This is your final vid.

Could someone who downloaded the high res version put up a torrent or something? That's more convenient for a lot of people than having to wait in lines and register for sites.
