Okay, i'm back from "da ghetto" so it's time for part 2.
I'm sure you experienced those framerate "jumps" on your player. I'll show you how to get rid of them for good.
You see, VirtualDub's got this magical option:
Type in there the following numbers:
- 12 for the "high" framerate option of the AMV converter
- 10 for the "middle" framerate option of the AMV converter
- 8 for the "low" framerate option of the AMV converter.
That is for version 3.68 of the MP3 player utilities, other versions may have different settings. Open the AmvTransform.ini file in your converter folder and look for the corresponding framerate for your screen resolution.
For example: 128x128(8,10,12) means that you can use either 8, 10, or 12 fps, configurable in the Settings menu of your converter (low, middle and high). 128x128(0,16,0) means it's fixed at 16 fps and you can't change it in the converter's Settings menu (for version 4.15),
but you can modify it directly in the INI to any framerate you would like if your chipset supports it. 8)
Now for the audio. Make sure you're in full processing mode.
The AMV converter may have a problem with your audio, usually there isn't a problem, but just to be sure, convert it:
Make sure it's 8-bit, in my case it was, so i left it unchanged.
Now crank up the volume! You'll have to experiment with it, depending on the initial loudness of the movie, so you don't overdrive it. If it sounds like crap, it's turned too loud. :lol:
There is a more efficient and higher quality method of making the audio louder, but that involves a sound editing software like Sound Forge or Nero Wave Editor, and that will be discussed in an eventual part 3.
Now you're all set, make sure both audio and video are set to uncompressed, then hit Save, wait for VirtualDub to process your video, then give the output file to your AMV converter and use the corresponding franerate settings to configure it. The image quality option never worked anyway and the focus option will have no effect on this properly scaled file.
Just remember, higher framerate = smoother playback = larger file. :P
Well, that was it. Best of luck in converting your video! 8)
