It's alive!

[MadMattUK]

Nice to see the forums starting to buzz again, with all the QW news that's streaming in from E3 :)

Ah, the day's that have gone by, spent arguing over rambo medics, and the skill of pazerfausters................................... :D

[Gringo]

Indeed, but there is a lot of sillyness floating around as well Mad

Indeed, nice to see the forums much more populated.
Good to see some "old" forum members much more active the last weeks.
But actually some impressive members are no longer active.
But may be / hopefully they will return.

Actually I had the idea to create som kind of shrine-thread for the no longer active but most impressive forum members.

Btw: Should it include Sock? :)

[Sauron|EFG]

But may be / hopefully they will return.

I predict that Lekdevil.nl returns if ET is selected for quakecon. :)

Didn't you get the memo? Wallpapers are totally out, and executables are in!

Sorry for the low-quality screenshot, but it works. Here's a better shot (http://hosted.zeh.com.br/misc/etqw_release_screensaver_emu.jpg) taken on the emulator.

And yes, the date's fake. It's set to mid October for now.

I've just finished a Quake Wars video to show at a LAn on saturday, 18 min - all the footage n stuff. If i get a chance i'll divx it and host it somewhere for kicks! The Hype is building!

You've compiled all the videos from E3 into one file?

How big is it? Ive got a paid host with 350 MB and 10 GB data traffic. If its not too big i could upload it as i dont use too much bandwith. Still i will take the download down when im on 9 GB data traffic.

[fattakin]

Yeah the decent vids & interviews from e3, using Adobe Premiere, added Music, screens etc and linked it all together, just something to show my clanmates at a LAN this weekend. Its 28min long, not sure of file size yet as i exported is straight to DVD using premiere's built in tool, ended up 1.89GB on the disk. I can export as avi then encode down to divx etc for a decent filesize.
I'll wait until Saturday when i show it to the lads & get feedback and release it next week.

Any reccomendations converting from avi to divx? i tried Blaze Pro before, it seemed OK.

[Black_Forky]

use xvid instead

[Wils]

My only recommendation is to not use xvid, because I don't have it installed :)

[Joe999]

virtualdub + xvid work fine and fast for me. it has a lot of filters, resizing and a lot of other config options. but you can also export directly to xvid with premiere, just select the appropriate codec.

[jjpron]

Real men use h.264.
Can your computer handle it?

[ParanoiD]

My 350 Mhz defenately can't :P. My Athlon 1800+ can handle it when the resolution is no higher then 720p, everything else closed. When using mplayer it is best.

lol

what about the "OMG IT ROCKS IT'S JUST LIKE BATTLEFIELD BUT IN THE FUTURE!!11" kids?

xD

[kamikazee]

Those kids will probably switch to BF2142 if they would compare it with Battlefield.

[Zyklon]

Use the VLC player, you don't need to install codecs to watch vids.

[Wils]

Does VLC play realmedia files yet?

Also, out of curiosity: what exactly is xvid for? What does it do that divx didn't already?

[kamikazee]

XVid is opensource, thus free.

DivX is proprietary but gives some better results in certain cases.

[Joe999]

last time i tried divx long time ago a movie rendered at approx 5 frames/sec, xvid rendered at 20 frames/sec. besides the font in the ET videos i made was actually readable and sharp with xvid, in divx it was blurry and fuzzy. although i must admit i haven't checked every possible setting in divx, i wanna use the codec, not learn it. i haven't seen a divx vid that would be better than an xvid vid, and as kamikazee said xvid is open source and hence widely supported.

if someone's interested, doom9 has a good codec comparison:

http://www.doom9.org/codec-comparisons.htm


vlc doesn't support real media, here's a features list:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html

if you need a working real player i recommend real alternative player:

Short hand, xvid is DivX for Linux.

[Nail]

xvid is for Windows too
http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

[Joe999]

i think he meant that xvid is available on several systems (linux among others) whereas divx isn't, neither are wmv nor quicktime, at least not natively.

[Nail]

afaik, divx is available for both linux and Mac and wmv is available with Mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/info.html):

for Quicktime, Codeweavers has a program called Crossover that will handle .mov and shockwave
Not only that, but CrossOver Office also allows you to use many Windows Web browser plugins, such as QuickTime and Shockwave, directly on your Linux browser.

Mplayer Supported Video and Audio Codecs
most important video codecs:

* MPEG-1 (VCD) and MPEG-2 (SVCD/DVD/DVB) video
* MPEG-4 in all variants including DivX ;-), OpenDivX (DivX4), DivX 5 (Pro), XviD

The vid rocks, though you won't find any vids of me falling out of trees anywhere honest.

[ouroboro]

As another real man above said, h.264 FTW. That other crap is on the way out, make way for the future.

[nUllSkillZ]

Its, oh, so quiet
Its, oh, so still

again.

[crumblycake]

...and it's become a bit NASTY around here with all the little trollians running upset that they "don't have demo" and the something about scramping ET:QW and begin working on RTCW 2 instead.....
