[UPLOAD] DMD Videos

[Gregzkij]

Hi.

I have just created 54 different DMD videos that's shorter, loopable and without washed out colors than the ones previously released. After feedback I raised the brightness and contrast somewhat. They are attached in this post and also uploaded to the FTP (Other Uploades/Pipshag).

I'd also like to point out that theese captures are in 256 x 64 and would perhaps have compability with any DMD-screens. Since I don't own one I have no idea about the technicality behind it so no guarantees. Since vPinmame automatically adds padding I have cropped down the videos to meet the above mentioned pixels. This also means that you may have to adjust PinballX DMD positioning with 2-3 pixels.

For those that want to recreate and add some own videos, see the below specs.

Hi Gregzkij,

thanks a lot for your DMD videos.

Now that PBX 1.81 supports Real DMD I installed them yesterday on my pincab with PinDMD2 and Vishay DMD.

All videos ran without problems on my DMD, but because they were captured in orange colour for the use with LCD screens, the contrast was somewhat poor on the real DMD.

So I transformed your MP4 videos with VirtualDub into gray scale and also reduced the number of brightness levels.

The results looks really great now on my DMD. I will post a video of the result later on.

My VirtualDub was only able to generate .AVI files, but they are same in size and play in PBX without problems.

So my question to you:

Is it OK for you, if I post the transformed videos for Real DMD here in the forum and also on the FTP server ?

And BTW: Which capturing program did you use to capture them out of VPinMame ?

I want to follow up with more DMD video captures :-)

Thanks a lot :-)

Have you tried Tom's Video Converter yet? I have used it with great success in the past.

[sigma415]

Video converting is not the problem, and Tom's Video converter does not capture videos ...

[Draco1962]

True, it doesn't capture videos. But if you prefered .mp4 format to .avi it does a pretty good job.

Of course, please do transform and upload them. I captured the videos using Hypercam and VirtualDub to process. Watch out with converters, most of them wash out contrast.

Thanks Gregzkij,

Hi, open6l and Piggei kindly granted me permission to upload some select DMD videos that I processed for Pinball 2000 style cab designs.

I used AVIDemux to apply a filter to vertically flip the image. I tried to retain quality by selecting the same encode protocol as the source file and enabling the highest quality options. If an audio track was in the source, I stripped in out. All files are saved in an MP4 container.

There are not many flipped DMD videos at this point. Maybe when I finish my build, I'll come back around to add some more and perhaps include some captures of my own.

Hi Carny_Priest,

Great !

Could you provide the link to your uploaded DMD videos ?

[Carny_Priest]

Hi Carny_Priest,

Great !

Could you provide the link to your uploaded DMD videos ?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. It's on the FTP. In the Visual Pinball/DMD Videos folder.

Thnx for the upload
