With refined techniques, this video shows you how I process videos using my latest techniques and it's much easier and involves a lot less work, but I still get the exact same result. The lone exceptions are when time lapse is used or the original MPEG goes over 4 GB. For time lapse, I use my old method since Virtual Dub doesn't give a "blur" effect for frame rate reduction which makes it much more realistic and accurate. Time lapse is somewhat rarely used though, however. Bigger videos like the Sonic 2 full game series involves forming fragments since the MPEG recordings get split when above 4 GB (starting around the 2-hour mark) and these need to be stitched together but the process is still generally the same. I also narrate with a new twist - you can hear me typing as well as narrate. Because the video is about 11 minutes, I split it into 2 segments.
The first part of this video involves using Virtual Dub Mod to do the main processing of the original MPEG.
Have you tried out the x264VfW codec? It's pretty efficient.

I never heard of it. I won't bother with it unless it's free like XviD.

Windows-based IBM computers is the only thing I'm familiar with. I haven't touched a Macintosh computer since I was in ninth grade (that's 7 years ago), so I have no idea. Everything I know of works with Windows (note the Windows' start menu).

Virtual Dub is open source - you'll find it on sourceforge. I also use VD for recording actions on my computer which is also how I recorded this video (not the one being worked on the video showing the process). Do note that this process is slightly outdated. Even though the video is a bit old, it's still relatively the same as to how I do it now.
