Hiya folks,
A hobby of mine is recording Games (mostly Dosgames) and upload the footage to Youtube.com/ClassicRetroGin a 1080P HD / 60 FPS format.
What I do:
- Play a game in DosBox while DosBox' internal video recorder does it's thing. Recording awesome footage in 1:1 uncompressed in ZMBV codecs, creating small neat files for me.
- After playing a game I load up VirtualDub and set it up with one filter; Resize. I try to resize my videos to a larger file so I have no quality loss on HD. I usually do this in a batch (job list), but let's talk about 1 file for now.
- After that I import al the exported videos in Adobe Premiere Pro and edit it to my likings and export it to HD 1080P/60FPS and it's good to go.
This always worked fine for me untill I upgraded to Windows 10. I have the ZMBV codecs (64bit) installed to my Windows\System32 folder. But I run into the following problem; while rendering/converting the video in Virtual Dub, it shows a projected filesize, and it gets HUGE.
EXAMPLE: A few months back I've played some AlleyCat on DosBox and recorded a video file of the gameplay.
Here's the file:
Time: 13:40
Frame: 320x200 pixels
Size: 145 MB
FPS: 70
When I still had Windows 7 I have converted this file with Virtual Dub with this filter:
So I have setup only a 'Resize' filter, that scales my video 6 times it's original size with a 'Neirest Neighbour' filter mode instead of the other more popular methods. This let's me keep my video exelent quality when upscaling. The file that was spit out by Virtual Dub was the following file:
Time: 13:40
Frame: 1920x1200 pixels
Size: 470 MB
FPS: 70
470 MB for a export is very do-able. Okay, 1920x1200 is too big, when I import it to Premiere Pro I scale it down to framesize and export it to a quicktime file or something to my liking, and that goes to Youtube. This was my standard procedure and I'm really fond of this method. Although since I upgraded to Windows 10 the following happens in Virtual Dub. The filesizes of the exported files gets HUMONGOUS. So let's try to convert this same DosBox recording in Virtual Dub with exact the same settings (the neirest neighbour resize filter of 600%) and this is what happens.
I don't mind working with large files, but 380 GigaBytes for only one video of 14 minutes isn't really doing it for me.
Does anyone know what's going wrong? I'm trying to record some more awesome games here, but this disables me to do so. It should work like normal, because it did once.
Bart.
