Debating on recording format for a capture device

I don't have that problem, because all I get is a black&green screen in FME. I know it's suppose to work (according to the site), but it just doesn't for me.

Quote from Aftermath:

Hey, just out of curiosity, if you go into Flash Media Encoder, set the res to 720p and the framerate to 29.97 or 30fps and start it, does FME force it to 60fps on you too? Gets kind of annoying when I don't really need to stream at 60fps or use that high of a bitrate.

FMLE's great at what it does, but it is quite limited in some areas. It can only use resolutions and framerates provided natively by the device it's using. Unfortunately that means 720p will always be 60/1.001fps. If the game is F2, you can use 720i to get 30/1.001fps; otherwise you'd have to use another program such as XSplit or SCFH as either streaming app or as input to FMLE, and reduce the framerate that way.

Yay, today I find out the computer isn't bad. It's the HARD DRIVE. Windows says it's failing. Fortunately I've got a couple of spare HDDs around, but it still kinda sucks, cause it's not very old or used very much. Sonofa...

Looking at the reviews where I got it, there's several hundred posted (mind you almost all of them were posted several months after I bought the thing) of people saying it failed within a few months (some even within a few DAYS) of getting it. Guess I got a bit luckier then them, since I got about 2.5 years out of it.

Hopefully one of my 2TB HDDs work inside the computer just fine. And hopefully Windows 7 won't bicker when it gets reinstalled and reactivated.

(Fortunately I pretty much had nothing on the computer when Windows started reporting failures, since I keep virtually all my stuff on externals, though hopefully one of those 2TB monsters won't fail.)

these days it's only a matter of time with those things. 2.5 years is indeed excellent.

I ordered an open box 160GB IDE Samsung HDD from Newegg in 2005 and have been using it as my main hard drive ever since. I have attempted to replace it TWICE with sata hard drives only to have those drives fail within a couple of months. I've been thinking about having another go at it, but I think I will just wait until SSD's get more into my price range. It goes to show that you never can tell when the hard drive you get is going to be a winner or a loser.

Well, after installing a new HDD, reinstalling Windows 7, yelling at the computer for several hours because it was being a dick (partially because as I was installing stuff back on, the computer would semi-lock up with installs, and partially because Windows suddenly was rating my 2.66GHz Dual Core processor a 2.8!), I FINALLY HAVE A SYNCED HD VIDEO. I recorded, encoded, and watched a video of about the same length as all of these other tests (9 minutes roughly), and OMG I'M GONNA CRYYYY!

Amount of ms adjustment for sync? ZERO. HELL YEAH!!

Now to spend some time doing some real good quality encodes. Smiley

Just to show off a bit, this is the IQ encode.

(Yeah, it's good. And it's not even the X-TREME IQ encode!)

Very nice. Glad you got everything worked out now.
