Demo DVD?
Has anyone taken on the ambition of recording the top demos to a video and/or DVD? I would love to have a compilation so people can enjoy the top productions anywhere they choose. I also think it would be great background material ... for example, throw a party, toss the demos on the big screen with some funky SID background muzak ...
At any rate, if this has already been done, I'd love to find out where I can get my copy! If it hasn't, then this is a project I'll definitely consider working on.

I am not entirely sure myself, but it would certainly be one of the non-lossy codecs rather than MPG/DivX etc.
Maybe HUFFYUV, MSVIDEO, I will experiment with this myself.
The compression ratio should be amazing only if the codec has the ability to analyse and compare image data with the next one.
Imagine a logo which moves 1 pixel horizontally to the right every frame... As the logo is still the same, additional data is not required for this.
For the time being, just save around 10 seconds of action in uncompressed AVI and use a program such as Virtual Dub to recompress in various formats and inspect each one in quality and final filesize.

the problem with other codecs and the idea behind vcd/svcd is the im/possibility to watch those movies not only on your pc but also on standard dvd players etc. |

You are absolutely right. It seems that MPG1, MPG2 is the only option in that case altough a ISO9660 DVD packed with video sequences in another codec can be displayed via projector/tv out etc.

Guys, just keep in mind that the guys that made the PC demo DVD (www.mindcandydvd.com) are also planning to do similar things for c64 & amiga demos (see www.demodvd.org and the mindcandy forums).

well divx format is far better than vcd =)
and u wouldn't even need anything to capture the demo's theres such programs which do such things.. snag it etc...
more fun would be to use stereo pc versions of the sid tunes |

I wonder which selection of demos you guys had in mind. I was thinking of throwing (bits of demos) on screen at parties, but I was wondering which C64 demos would appeal to- or fascinate "normal" audience... |

everybody love this idea it seems. ;-) i ussualy use my hp 735 photocamera to make some small videos too and the sound quality is very good. lateron i work it out with a program like virtual dub.
ofcourse it's not the highest quality but you can add the original music of the demo when saving the sid file into a wav file and save it in the movie-demo. the compression is very good.
-2 start press any key..where is the any key?- |
