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 |

Was about to send in a tune for the music compo when I noticed that "The entry may not loop and must end with silence."
How strict is the rule of not looping? Can the song loop after a period of silence or not at all? If it can, what's the mininum amount of silence required? This is a matter of participate / not participate for me as in my (admittedly anal) mind C64 songs loop. Always. :) |

The rule is fairly strict at this point since I understand that some composers have already completed and submitted tunes which have had a little more work done on them in order to adhere to it, but obviously we want your entry, so consider that even 1-2 seconds of silence is still silence... :) |

Thanks Mibri, my tune already has a fadeout and some silence. I'm OK with adding some more as long as it can loop. |
