ok, your point.

but what would be the solution?
uncompressed all the way?
Or do you have a better codec in mind?

but it doesn't need to be equal, as far as im remembering correctly, the processors these days are superscalar, meaning they dedicate all cpu load to a task until it's striped off the cpu, to make room (time) for another task...

so in this scenario you have a codec using "more" load than lfs, thsu lfs can't render further until the codec has finished its work for the latest frame, and still you get acceptabe filesizes.

or am i wrong?

regards

anyway i'd like to know how the smart would handle around the track...

sure, if you got the skills, and the feedback.
i don't so...

there was a vid about some golf3 (?) with 2 engines too 1 in front 1 in the back (trunc)...

looked funny how he let his opponent get the headstart, and overtook him in preety short time..

Quote from filur :

The more important point might be there are other lossless codecs with proper standards available, and a good balance between quality and recording speed? using a codec that eats cpu whilst recording from lfs which also eats cpu into something that's not lossless is none of those things.

huh?
sorry but i don't don't understand that last sentence, sorry.
can you rephrase please?

@filur

well you're right but do me a favor and buy me a bigger harddisc for uncompressed vid.
besides most videos have block-artifacts even these from hollywood productions, not to mention the self-produced...
so for me it's a good trade-off between quality and recording speed when it comes to capturing.
well if it's 768*576 (pal) then my old 733Mhz comp manages it at about 60-85% cpuload...
Anyways the load will be there but what's better?
disc load, while writing about 24-43mb/s or
Cpu load, while writing about 12-22mb/s (@ 20 quality [0,0]) or
Cpu load, while writing about 7-11mb/s (@ 19 quality [10,10]) ?

now imagine what will happen whe you set the resolution higher...

happy screen-shot-cinema...

^^
you got too much time :P

ps: the microwave is a pretty easy way for batch-destruction of almost any disc type... )

256 steps is maximum resolution?
wow, i have no idea about the specs of the material but in model-builder scene even the cheapest digital steering instruments (for controlling planes/helicopters) use more than 512 or even up to 1024 steps.
ok, there are just a few really good-usable controllers anyway, but these are far more precise...
and even some servos use more than 512 steps to tune...

makes me think why noone complains about that.
and the new (a few months ago) wheel does anybody know about it's resolution?

regards

+1 for in game capture
+2 for codec use i suggest mjpeg with file splitting @ 2gb file size.
+3 for audio output too (so that audio/video match when replayed @ 50fps for example)

regards

but someone told me that the v8's would never sould like this anymore due to exaust-fumes regulations...

true?

meaning?

any opinions about the "old" chase car scene films from the 70's ?

for example "bullit" ?
never seen this one, but i guess the special effects arent' that big like today.

regards

Quote from mrodgers :

Wow, I can't believe what you guys over there have to do to ride a motorcycle. Over here in the land of stupid regulations, like wearing a seatbelt by law, yet not required to wear a helmet (yes in a car and motorcycle respectively). All we have to do, at least in my state, is pay for a permit which doesn't allow you to ride on 4 lane roads, without a helmet, with a passenger, and after dark. Then you just go and take a quick road test and you're done. You have your license. But, the majority never do the roadcoarse and either renew the permit every year or ride without altogether. I've been riding for 4 years and only had a permit for the first year. Never bothered to renew it or go for the license. I do want to, but.....

We do have a voluntary motorcycle safety training. It is free, takes 2 or 3 days, and you get your license endorsment at the completion. This is the route I want to go, as folks who have been riding for 10-20 years say they still learn something from the beginner's course. But it is very difficult to get in, very popular and busy. You have to sign up well in advance, but they provide the bike, so you don't even have to have one yet.

sounds like some kind of paradise...
But i don't want to be in the vicinity of an american (unexperinced) driver on 2 wheels when it's coming to hairy situations...
I was told by my instructor that the process of legal-driving a car in the states is very simple...
I wonder why this is...

regards

use another view ("V") in cockpit it's not there...

make what fits you best...
don't care that much about other opinions, you have to race with it not the others...
(except when making a skin for your clan-mates)

Quote from Don :

if you noticed, it was "continous" (from start to finish), not a few scenes placed randomly together. cant do much syncronysing with music there

sure thing it's a good movie, not doubting that.
But talk to a professional cutter, i guess they'll point out that a movie (even a short one) can make use of a climax (to stand out from the rest of the clip).

regards

Quote from mrodgers :

It is how stupidly unrealistic and ridiculous these movies are. Not to mention the acting. At least they didn't put Paul Walker back in for the 3rd one, or did they? (is that his name? I think, I work with someone named Paul Walker as well)

I saw the first one (movie channel). Ok, it was pretty stupid, but... Then I foolishly, against my better judgement, watched the second one :banghead: . There's no way I'll watch the third one even on one of the movie channels on TV.

Me, I'm taking the 5 yr old and the 2 yr old this week to see Cars. Can't wait for that one. The kid's movies are more entertaining than the adult movies anymore.

but it makes sense, here an market-research institute pointed out that the youth of the nation 15-22 year old people have most of the money to spend.
So you see why these movies are made, (geek-war continues) first via toys, then via cell-phones (ring-tones and stuff...), now via movies too...
it all comes down to money (like always)...

regards

nice movie. thx for your entertainment.
and most of all that "Realistic Racing Sim" maybee due to that some more people will be curious about lfs now and will have a look... (hopes)

now i would have synced the cuts to the music, especially when the first refrain starts (in the video you see the big led-wall "flashing", first time i saw this it send shivers down my spine ) there i would have synced your jump to the refrain...

But a very good vid.

am i the lonely one thinking that these movies serve the severall tastes of speed?

first = drag
second = lap race (sort of...) and drag yes
third = drift, drag (maybee, haven't seen it yet)
forth = ???

Why are serious racing filmes always some sort of documentation?
is the thrill missing or what?

<<< leaves

try that idea (sim...)

Note 2 : Motion simulators can be dangerous. The developers of the
Live for Speed racing simulator do not support any motion systems in
particular and cannot accept responsibility for any injuries or death
connected with the use of such machinery.


(/docs/insim.txt)

would guess it's their full time job now.
from "afastest" (40-50H per week) just a guess too.

but what about the helicopter view and thus visible roads or city parts never seen before?

<<< uses another (softer) sound for all the messages.

try it if you like.

problem solved...

del please
