Capture cards and Virtual Dub

[jim9999999]

this video helped me so much, however when I open up compression there are no options, and sense I can't change that the video a 15 second video is 300 mb, please help

Can Someone plz tell me how to make ur vids HD like this one

@Nyancatproductions Record your video in HD. For full 720 you need to have a resolution of 1280x720. With Youtube I think it just depends on the height as aspect ratios are different. This recording was done on a monitor that was 1024x768. If your source video isn't HD I wouldn't recommend upscaling as it would reduce the quality of the video despite the fact it is in an HD format.

where urs says device mine says edit. HELP

[enslaven00bs]

@SuperMastrMind Probably a version difference. That or you didn't click file -> capture AVI first. This video is about 2 years old. I need to make a new one but I don't have a capture card anymore.

[SuperMastrMind]

@enslaven00bs srry i didnt go to capture avi. Then it says device

[SuperMastrMind]

[enslaven00bs]

@SuperMastrMind Mine didn't live long after that video. I know the pain :(

My igrabber capture card doesn't even show up in the list of devices. It is connected to the computer, and makes a sound when I plug it in and out, but it doesn't show on the Virtualdub program.

@enslaven00bs, how many Y adapters do I need in order for you to hear sound from your Dazzle DVC100? And can you send me a personal message on how to set up the Dazzle with the Y adapters included? If not, can you show me a video you recommend? Thanks! :D

[caseywtw]

Do you know how to use this with a DVC 170? VirtualDub keeps telling me the source format isn't compatible, even if I match the formats.

Thanks a lot, this helped me out LOADS. This was just what i was looking for, subbed and liked it :)

How do you get such low file sizes? I have you same compression shown, and get like a gig every 30 seconds. My resolution is 720p, but it still shouldn't be that much bigger.

[enslaven00bs]

@GoodCoffeeInc All I can say is play with the bitrate. I do something a little different than what I did when I made this video. I initially record with a very light lossless codec like Huffy or Logarith with uncompressed audio (this will give you huge files) and then send the post-processed video into MediaCoder and encode with h.264/aac stuff in an MP4 or FLV (This will give you something reasonable). I can get about an hour in 350mb after MediaCoder does its thing.

damn it i have a dazzle too. did you have to download line in? does having a dazzle really mean more work? D:

[enslaven00bs]

Dazzle (and Easycaps) have proprietary audio drivers so you can't record audio from the capture device. You must use Line-in. The fix shouldn't cost more than $10 ($5 if you look around). You'll need 2 extra Y adapters and a 3.5mm Male to Dual RCA Males. Use the Y adapters to split the audio signal so you can run the 3.5mm Male to Dual RCA Males to your Line input on your PC.
