I contacted an old friend of mine and it seems like I'm finally getting this video game movie I've been planning for ages rolling. The story has been in limbo forever and I could never find the right folks to help me out.
It all started with a very old game people still play called Jedi Academy. I was fascinated not with the game itself but all the modifications you can download. That led to endless possibilities for stories. Then I found a program called FRAPs. It's a program people use to record their gameplay.
There are two drawbacks to FRAPS.
1. It records at 30 second intervals. That's tedious to work with.
2. The resulting video file takes up HUGE AMOUNTS OF SPACE.
And, although it depends on your computer, it also freezes.
I used FRAPS to record scenes from DVDs. I used to have a series on my youtube channel called "Secrets of the Scenes." It's a series where I talk about movies and critique them and point out, well, secrets. It was going fine with the first movie I had in mind - Raiders of the Lost Ark. But FRAPS proved too messy to use and the series has been on hold ever since. Thus began my quest to find a free program to record scenes from a DVD.
Instead of doing all that "Blah blah of the week" stuff, I'm just going to post something random I found interesting or funny.
