AVI Recorder Problems

[Spades_Neil]

There are significantly less options than in Lock On 1.0, I noticed. However, I'm having problems with the PNG + WAV codec (I believe it's called?).

 

When I went to record a video, rather than record it, the video went on to save over five-hundred gigabytes of PNG images in my video folder. :doh:

 

Luckily, my hard drive is a terabyte in size, but still, it startled me to have nuked over half my memory in one evening of rendering. That wasn't rendering, though. That was taking a screenshot of every single frame in my video as well as recording a WAV file for sound. There was no 'video' here.

 

Meanwhile, the other format successfully converted 5 gigabytes worth of video (30 minutes long), but I still have a problem. It's in .ogv format, which I am unable to use in any of my video editing software. :| YouTube will not accept it because it's not under ten minutes. While I can use Fraps in a worst-case-scenario and just do the video that way, from my experience, my videos look so much better when I render them properly because I can max out the quality without worry about an FPS hit in the video. I mean, my computer is pretty epic, but I don't want to risk making a crummy video because I maxed out the graphics during recording.

 

So, I come to the help desk asking if anyone knows of good, free OGV to AVI (or WMV) converting software? I tried VLC, maybe I'm a moron with it, but I only get the audio half. :\ No video. Haven't found any tutorials that are any helpful. It's always the same result. Audio comes through, but no video.

Typo

try this: http://www.avi-mp4.com/avi/ogv-to-avi.htm

There is a video converter. Not tried though.

Good luck and let's us enjoy the resulting vids.

Unfortunately it only converts 60% of it if you don't buy it. :\ I already tried this one.

AFAIK, Youtube accepts ogv files.

 

For codecs check http://xiph.org/dshow/ and/or http://www.xiph.org/quicktime/

For conversion http://handbrake.fr/

I can't edit ogv files. That's the problem. 30 minutes of footage is no good to me if I can't make it small enough for YouTube, edit it accordingly, or run music over it. Apparently the AVI recorder doesn't record AVIs.

 

And Handbrake crashes when I try loading my file. So I'm afraid that's no use to me either. :(

 

Also, why does the other rendering option save all these PNG files? All it does is eat more memory than most people have on their computers. It creates no video.

Additional question.

[c0ff]

"all these PNG files" are frames of your video.

Just wait till I try recording at 5760*1200. Holy Poop!
