Draco1962 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Usually not too long, but consider that Circo is here in the states and may be either traveling or dealing with other holiday-related things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 So my next ? can GameEx play the MP4 videos or should I stick with the Hi-Res FLV's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Yup Tom was first to add mp4 functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kustom Kid Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 That's a project I need to do this weekend. Update my videos to MP4. With hard drives being as expesive as they are I need to conserve space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 That and there's a noticeable quality difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Stay away from the FLV's they are twice the size, only have them for hyperspin 1.0 support and that will not be for much longer and I will be removing them all together.That's a project I need to do this weekend. Update my videos to MP4. With hard drives being as expesive as they are I need to conserve space.Not only that but I have been working on this switch out for the last year,most sets have been re-edited, replaced, or added to and audio has been normalized completely across the board meaning every video from every set has the exact same audio levels now.

Krakerman Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 For some strange reason the Sega 32X wasn't d/l'ing (working) correctly via the Dowload Sevice Utility as it thinks I don't have any files even thou I do. So I has to manually d/l via FTP and rename them all manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Well I just registered for Fraps tonight and soon will be creating my own snaps and vids for some of the more obscure systems I have. When I complete them and thats when I will since I'm still in the process of working on this theme I will be more than happy to share them on emumovies.Stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadboy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Are there any plans on moving some of the files over from Games Database to EmuMovies? There are pictures of cabinets and control panels on one that aren't on the other and it would be nice to be able to get them all from EmuMovies.

Circo Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Gamesdbase runs off of the same content as the EmuMovies Download Service. I just updated all mame artwork on the site and Download service today to .144I have not however got it on the FTP yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadboy Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 That's great news. I will start the update process as soon as I get home. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Quick question for those that have used the update. I've been using my own set built from EmuMovies content for my video previews for ages. When I built the set, I took the Horizontal, Vertical, Bezel, No Bezel, etc sets and combined them so I had a single "best" video out of all the sets. When you use the updater service, does it allow you to select what "best" is? Or, does it already do that automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Not sure I follow you Ben... The downloader matches the format you choose and downloads content based on your roms. All the videos are the same quality based on your chosen format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I want all of my videos to be in 4:3 to fit the aspect ratio the theme has set up. I also prefer that the videos have the artwork if available. But, last I checked, if a rom doesn't have artwork, it won't be in that collection. As such, there would be missing videos if I asked for just those in that collection. So, I have supplemented that set with horizontal ratio videos without artwork so that I have all roms with a preview video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circo Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Ben would it be to much to ask if you could upload your mame avi set to the emumovies ftp? I lost the artwork vids in a server crash a couple of years ago. If you have the hiquality ones i can fix them up in a new version and fill in the blanks and throw it up in a separate set again. But I would be more than happy to offer a plug-in video set for the 3:4 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'll see what I have, but I think I only grabbed the low quality ones since I'm only using a SDTV for a display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadboy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Gamesdbase runs off of the same content as the EmuMovies Download Service. I just updated all mame artwork on the site and Download service today to .144I have not however got it on the FTP yet.I ran the download utility yesterday and while it did download a bunch of stuff I am still noticing a lot of games that are up on the Games Database site but are not downloading. 720, many of the Street Fighter/Mortal Kombat, Discs of TRON, TRON too for that matter, I'm sure there are others I'm forgeting but my boy was up very early this morning shrieking about his teething so I'm not in the clearest state of mind...ANYWAY If they're pulled from the same database are all the pics on the FTP yet or is there some other way to get them? I thought about just going to the games database site and dl-ing the ones I wanted but I'm not sure how much fiddling I'd have to do with naming and so forth. Plus there's the watermark on all the pics from that site that would be irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkenobi Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I looked on my file server last night and didn't see where I stored the files. I'll have to look on the cab to see if I kept the whole set there. Maybe the set was compressed? I searched for *.avi since I didn't locate it manually, but that didn't find them.
