SOCOM 4 Singleplayer Gameplay
Saturday, April 30th, 2011Since PSN is down, more singleplayer gameplay 😛
inFAMOUS 2 UGC Bug?
Sunday, April 24th, 2011It seems there is a bug in the UGC tool. My guess is that the random selector generates a number (which indexes the object in the group) and if the object is not there, it stops working.
PSN is down at the moment so I cannot post this on the inFamous Beta forum. I hope the sucker punch can fix this for the release version.
The video shows that.
PSN is Down…. SOCOM4 Montage to Kill Some Time
Saturday, April 23rd, 2011Quite shocking that PSN is down for this long. Want to play Socom 4 but….so here is some lousy montage 😛
SOCOM 4 MP Day 1 Videos
Wednesday, April 20th, 2011Got SOCOM 4 and had two nice games. The first map is great. I love the openness and many objects to hide at the same time.
The mechanic of game, physics, gun handling, aiming, knifing, etc, all are very familiar to MAG players I suppose.
The first game video without any editing
The second game with editing. This map is from beta, so I had some idea. A little bit lopsided 😛
I had second highest killing, yet somehow I got the MVP, must be all those backstabbing points I was whoring 😀
How to Capture Videos from PS3 (or XBox360)
Monday, September 13th, 2010I get this question a lot so I am writing some info here to help you guys.
First you need a capture device. I have tried four different HD capture devices so far, two USB based ones and two PCI-e based ones. They have pros and cons of course, and I like the Hauppauge one best so far.
| Hauppauge HDPVR | AverMedia HD USB DVR | Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro | Avertv HD DVR | |
| Price (amazon.com as of 9/13/2010) | $184.99 | $179.95 | $189.05 | $89.78 |
| Inputs | Component, S-Video, Composite | Component, S-Video, Composite | HDMI, Component, S-Video, Composite | HDMI, Component, S-Video, Composite |
| Compression | H.264 | H.264 | MJpeg or uncompressed YUV | Mpeg2 |
| Live Passthrough | Yes | Yes | Yes (No for the audio, it has one but it does not work during recording) | No |
| File size per 10 minutes (for the default encoding option) | ~1GB | ~1GB | ~8GB (MJpeg) | ~4GB |
| Deinterlacing for 1080i | Yes | Yes | No, kinda (Mjpeg produces interlaced picture and not many software can handle it correctly) | No (?) |
| What I like about the hardware | On/off button, optical audio input/output for 5.1Ch | Slick design, HDMI output (No HDCP of course) | HDMI Input and Output (No HDCP of course) | Low profile (can be installed on small machines) |
| What I don’t like about the hardware | Looks uglier | No on/off button, no 5.1ch optical | No 5.1ch optical, passthrough is not working while recording | No 5.1ch optical, no passthrough option |
| What I like about the software | Option to save in different wrapper, MP4, TS, M2TS | MJPEG should give you the best quality especially for the snapshot | ||
| What I don’t like about the software | Window resizing is not there. Just max or default size. | Just TS recording then you have to convert it to more common format like MP4 | ||
Connect PS3 through the component cable (no HDMI due to HDCP lock), then connect to the TV using the passthrough cables (if there is no passthrough, you have to split signal, which degrades the picture quality.)
To capture the headset chatting, set the PS3 to use the ‘system default’ audio for the headset.
To capture your voice, you have to mix your voice into the capture input. One easy way is using you computer to be the mixer. Attach an extra mic for your voice to the PC. Connect PS3 audio output into the audio input of the PC. Connect audio output of the PC to the input of the capture device.
8 Years Ago RTCW
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010This is a video of RTCW clan match 8 years ago. RTCW is the only game I played more than MAG (almost 400hours for the MAG ATM BTW). It had 4 class system and objective based games. Teamwork was the key to the winning. This video is special because 1) I am in 😀 -xTc- SoullesS, and 2) Warwitch and Justice, two legendary members of RTCW community and shoutcaster, did a shoutcast for this match. It is fun to listen their banters actually.
*Stopwatch mode*
Team A attacks. Team B defends. If A wins in a certain time, in the next round, B has to beat that time to win it, otherwise, B loses. (man, i am really not good at describing things :P)

Finally Final Fantasy XIII Platinum Trophy
Saturday, July 10th, 2010About 95hours spent. The PS3 version comes with XMB Themes you can install. The video shows that.
Video capture from PS3
Sunday, February 21st, 2010UPDATED: Better upload here,
————————
I just captured a 720p video play of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. Just wanted to test the quality of the capture card called Blackmagic intensity pro.
The originally capture video is MJPEG avi file. The size is 311MB. I just uploaded whole thing and let Youtube converted it to whatever it wanted. The newly created Youtube video is MP4 file and the size is only 8MB.
Interesting thing is, somehow, the MP4 (which was solely converted by Youtube) has interesting interlace-kinda artifacts. These are screen capture of two files being played by windows media player.
MJPEG (click to enlarge)
MP4 (click to enlarge)
The blade on the left part of the screen clearly shows there is a problem with conversion. The question is, does MJPEG has originally recorded as interlaced version? or some information got lost during the conversion. I guess I need to learn more about MJPEG and video conversion.
UPDATE: This link has a good conversation about the interlace problem. It seems the option in the MJPEG decoding is confused depending on decoders.
