Puyo Puyo 2 (MD) 60fps test

NOTE: This 60fps is obsolete since the HD and widescreen update that occured late 2008. I'm mentioning it, just in case.
--------------------------------
This is a 60fps test featuring the introduction of Puyo Puyo 2 (Sega Mega Drive version). This includes the little animated intro, the title screen, a gameplay demo and the records screen.

-----------------------
IMPORTANT! In order for this video to play smoothly, you must:

- either right-click on the video window and select "medium" or "low" quality (it's a flash player).
- or switch to fullscreen then switch back to window mode (you'll notice the video will lag horribly in fullscreen but will play correctly back in window mode). I think this solution works best.
--------------------

Recorded with Gens Movie Test 9C ( http://info.sonicretro.org/Gens_Movie_Test ) in CamCodec (a lossless codec also suitable for capture), then reencoded to FLV using MEncoder (audio reencoded separately with LAME 3.96).

I chose this example because firstly, this is one of my favourite games (despite me being a sucker at making chains :P) and secondly, because there very little motion, but lots of passages benefiting of full 60fps moves (puyos moving, little slides, etc.).

This will be my second test at a high framerate on YouTube (along with the Sandra example), probably making me one of the few users* succeeding in uploading high-framerate footage on Youtube, Woohoo!

* I corrected because I discovered other (and better examples) of successful high-framerate videos on YouTube

is no 60fps is 35 fps( fraps)

@memitoot: Read a few comments above. The test is obsolete. That video was originally a 60fps FLV I uploaded in 2007. Back in the day, Youtube only existed in LD 4:3 (320x240) and it was easy to trick its reprocessing routine by directly uploading a 350kbps FLV of any kind. It isn't the case anymore, and that video got finally reeconded circa late 2008 or early 2009. Its framerate became 29.97fps. To this day, I don't think Youtube accepts 60fps and I doubt it will ever do it.

[Dioxaz]

Well, as you can easily guess it, the video is not 60fps anymore, as I didn't at the time use any trick to prevent re-encoding from Youtube. So that re-encoding occurred some time when YT upgraded to HD, but I can't tell exactly when (probably in 2009).

The Sweet Sweet Sweet video wasn't affected because it used the 16x12 trick. But I'm not sure if that trick still works.

I don't know if you can upload 60fps footage now (at least 360p) without having its framerate beeing converted.

If the video has stereo audio then adobe flash player will drop more frames in the playback than an flv with mono audio

[Dioxaz]

I've made some tests on other videos with mono audio and it does the same on my machine. The workaround mentioned in the description (switch to full screen, then switch back to normal) works for both cases.

And you'll find better examples of high-framerate videos across Youtube than this one.

[omgitsonlyme]

well I experienced ever this, I ever got an smoother video playback if the flash video has the default youtube sound quality, 8 or 16 bit 22050Khz Mono, I'm not sure about the bitwidth

[Dioxaz]

I don't know what happened. I posted a comment and it never displayed! Well...

I recommend to check out videos I encoded for BOBO and his YT account Lunartoad. Almost all of them are 60fps FLVs with 22KHz mono sound. I don't know if they will play smoothly for you but on my machine, I still have to perform the "fullscreen-to-window-mode" workaround to recover fluidity and full framerate.

Oh dear, those voice samples in gameplay are very annoying. =P

I remember this opening for my PC game :)

[richkawaiipikachu]

The score screen seems to be faster than my Virtual Console download that i got .

Even thru the game is pruduced in pal 60hz but still it should have the ntsc code as its was previous japanese release only .

But still its a cute game & i love it .
