    Using plasma cannons against infantry, attacking tanks with riflemen, trying to destroy barracks with plasma cannons and BioMLs... I dunno, it just sounds funny for some reason.

    Got a problem: I don't have either "XviD MPEG-4 Codec" or "Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec V3".

    are you sure that you're checking in the video compression area for those and not the audio compression area?

    I have the same problem, I think the codec's aren't installed on my machine.

    I just noticed another problem: The audio track is shorter than the video one.

    hmmm. thats very very weird.

    I hadn't counted on that. for videos where that happens, I guess that if you send a soundless (or soundful if you already put sound in) video file with the wave file seperately i can just combine them in the trailer, because I can just put the two together when building the trailer.

    that way the clips that get in the trailer will be in sync.

    --------------------

    use DivX 6.8 if you can't use the other one. I'm sure the change in quality won't be noticable.

    Managed to pull something out of Adobe Premiere:


    • Download
    Name: tankmission.avi
    Type: Audio-Video Interleave
    Video codec: Microsoft Windows Media Video 9
    Audio codec: Uncompressed
    Size: 18.29 mB
    Hash: 424c1e08a3521fd9693c6b4761d4ab5f (MD5)
    Notes: The very first frame is bogus. All the (pointless) re-renders appears to be slowly killing my card...

    Primary: eHome Repository


    Tell me if everything is right.

    I just finished all videos from the second upload except for street, which is still rendering. Sorry Extreme, I didn't notice you were working on ucjeep. I'll go to the university now and upload everything.

    To everybody who had no Xvid in the list: you have to install the codec first.

    Fun Fact: When I change the resolution to 1280x768 the Empires background gets replaced by the Lost Coast background.

    Videos I've done now:

    a
    alamo2
    alamo3
    alamo4
    b
    canyonone
    canyonattack
    canyon_secondattack
    drive
    epic
    f
    h
    i
    madness
    j
    l
    manhunter
    sniper
    stalin1
    stalin2
    stalin3
    urbanchaos
    ucjeep
    urbanfps


    EDIT: Street is compleet

    I guess I'm the only person here who refresh this page every milliseconds to see if someone else started working on what I'm working on.

    Yes


    EDIT:
    Unfortunately I only have 50 kB/s upload at the university. I really expected it to be more. That means that over the next two days you'll be getting the files one by one.
    I'm going to add all uploads in this post rather than making new ones.

    thanks a lot

    If anyone has any good demos that they think are trailer worthy, send em my way, i'll review them and possibly add them and possibly include them in the trailer.

    I'm still waiting for the other demos of people in the sniper scene.

    JMS you gave the same link for B as for alamofour
