Quoting KrillQuoting Copyfaultnot like the Revision-stream-distorted ones Haha, yeah, and they even ranted about the C-64's palette. 16 shades of brown master race! Yes, indeed! The compo-block moderators behaved somewhat arrogant when it came to C64 graphics, or was it just me being too thin-skinned? Plus I completely disagree with the comments (better: ranting) on the C64's colour palette being "not the best" up to "16 shades of brown" - considering how PAL works and given its mixing possibilites, it is close to the best partitioning one could come up with. Like I wrote already somewhere: this was system-bashing in a multi-platform compo! Disappointing!
Sorry for the offtopic-ness, had to get rid of it! |

Fascinating feedback here. At least for demos, I have to be honest, I'm not that fond of seeing them in Mibri's stream due to skipped frames and jitter that gets added on occasion. Scrollers should look smooth where possible. We'll do our best, but I have a feeling we won't make everyone happy. |

I wholeheartedly disagree with what some said about stream quality: solid 50fps is far more important than color accuracy (and since when do ppl agree on which palette is right;).
Unless there's only a gfx compo, I would choose proper framerate over palette every time. 30fps is not cutting it :) |

I am sure that if somebody cracks the 50.125mhz to 50mhz capture conversion that is causing the stutter in pretty much all c64 video captures, that person would be a hero. |

it can be done, but the equipment needed wont be trivial :) ie capture at 50.125Hz, then slow it down to 50Hz (which wont be noticable afterall) |

Quoting TrapI am sure that if somebody cracks the 50.125mhz to 50mhz capture conversion that is causing the stutter in pretty much all c64 video captures, that person would be a hero. This doesn't concern me much, as it should produce a skipped frame only once in every few seconds. Plus most PCs cannot really output smooth video anyways, even less so with video coming in from the net. =)
However, one of my pet peeves are video ADCs which insist that PAL signal MUST be interlaced. :)
So they ignore that a C-64 (or any other machine of that era) outputs progressive 50-ish FPS video, then stubbornly add half a rasterline of toggling Y-offset to their 50 FPS output signal.
Makes for somewhat nervously twitching still pictures and de-/interlacing artefacts down the pipeline. |

Thats why at Revision we had to use those Imagepro HD scan converters ... the others couldnt do the field->frame conversion |
