Hello everyone... I would like to create a youtube channel for post my tool assisted speedrun of super mario bros 3... but the problem is that I don't know how to turn an FM2 file to an AVI file (because youtube does not read FM2 files)... and I would like to know how to merge the different parts of my video (because I have not done all at once)... thanks in advance :)
Hello everyone... I would like to create a youtube channel for post my tool assisted speedrun of super mario bros 3... but the problem is that I don't know how to turn an FM2 file to an AVI file (because youtube does not read FM2 files)... and I would like to know how to merge the different parts of my video (because I have not done all at once)...
As for turning FM2 into AVI, use the emulator video dumping (if you use video codec like Camstudio, you might be able to directly upload the video into youtube).
Also, TAS shouldn't be in multiple parts. One can easily continue recording (resulting one movie) where one left off if one knows how.
You can just go to File > AVI/WAV > Record AVI to record a video. The emulator will write every frame into an .avi file. You'll have to select a codec first - some of them are good while most of them are horrendously bad. If you just want to get a video on youtube, pick one that produces a low filesize. Select Stop AVI when you're done.
For more advanced help regarding dumping, editing, resizing and compressing the video, check our Encoding Guide
1. Download ffdshow (it's a collection of a bunch of other codecs).
2. Use Virtualdub and merge the video segments.
3. Select video>Compression and select ffdshow*, configure it to "h.264"*, "h.264 lossless"* (these will create somewhat big files), Xvid or VidX (these will create moderate-sized files but not be as good quality), or MPEG4.
When using h.264 or h.264 lossles, configure to quantizer=1.
When using MPEG4, configure to quality=100 instead.**
Then just save the video and upload.
4. If you skipped 3., it will create a large video file since it's uncompressed. If you have trouble with the codecs not showing up, maybe you can try to download & install h.264 as a stand-alone codec.

Yes but how to keep a record from a portion of a finished video??? thank :)
Load a savestate that is at the end of the video and switch to read-write mode (you could also play back the movie until you reach desired point, savestate, loadstate and switch to read-write mode).
That's how it works in every rerecording emulator.
why when I record a video with camstudio and then I reread it, there is no sound???
Unsupported sound codec or dumping sound to AVI is disabled (I have never seen the dialog, so I can't say)?
The usual sound codec to use is 'uncompressed' or 'PCM'.

Usually emulator itself can do a video dump. When you attempt to capture video using another program, you may really get no sound, it depends on your sound card (not every sound card can capture internal sound)…

my TAS channel · If I ever come into your dream, I’ll be riding an eggship :)
I recorded my run (not a TAS) with camstudio, so as I have said, the software recorded just the video and not thed sound... there is a way to put over the .avi file the sound of the .fm2 file??? thank

I don't mean to offend anyone here but I think the language barrier is making it hard for us to help you as you have misunderstood basically everything that has been said so far. I suggest you ask for help in this forum where you can receive help in French: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=55
You mean camstudio the screen capture software or FCEUX using the camstudio codec?
Those two are not the same (even if camstudio codec is part of camstudio the screen capture software).
Ilari : I recorded my screen area where there was the FCEUX video (.fm2) with camstudio... but about the sound I save it in .wav file (with FCEUX app)... but suddenly my .avi (recorded with camstudio) and .wav files are separate. But I would like to know how to merge them (if it's possible)... thank :)
I recorded my screen area where there was the FCEUX video (.fm2) with camstudio... but about the sound I save it in .wav file (with FCEUX app)... but suddenly my .avi (recorded with camstudio) and .wav files are separate.
FCEUX has built-in video/audio (a.k.a. AVI) capture. Use that, no need to use camstudio (the screen capture).
Additionally, the quality will be better as FCEUX will slow down to capture every frame instead of dropping frames if your computer can't keep up.
Yes but in fact I have already recorded my run (in fm2 file) and I have not really want to start my run from the beginning ... :/ and then when I record in avi with FCEUX the quality is bad... So I would just like to know if there is a way to merge avi file (video) with wav file (sound) ...
and then when I record in avi with FCEUX the quality is bad...
Disable hardware acceleration and set video codec to Camstudio Codec.
My guess is that either hardware acceleration is screwing with the capture or you have some lossy codec with bad settings in use (most probably the latter).
In contrast, Camstudio codec is lossless. It does not degrade the video quality at all.
it's good I re-recorded the fm2 video to avi... but I have a little problem: the video automatically stops at 3:21 minutes... So is there any way to choose the time??
it's good I finally managed to publish my video on youtube (I converted it to divx with "Divx Converter")

Well isn't a tool assisted speedrun but a speedrun
