Phil,
good movie smooth vid, the way it should be. Maybe you are willing to share some insides on the how to avoid the jerky beef I see in most incl mine (unfortunately)thnking well if that is the standard I have no other choice.
I use fraps to capture and mix it with MAGIX video prog. Many trials making a smooth one resulted in failure althought my routes are smooth that is the good news.
The bad news is my vid is not what I wanted and would welcome very much any help. Must be little details settings I did not see for what ever reason.
Many thanks in advance for your help and yes yours is very smooth good job Phil!

A 13 min long video of my version of Wington Junction the 80s version and a session I am working on that is fully automated

FRAPS and VirtualDub
Hi Roy --
I use a registered copy of FRAPS to record the video, with a setting of 30 fps.
The output is a number of 3+GB avi files. For that 7 minute youtube clip I think there three 3GB files and one slightly smaller one.
To join and compress the files I use VirtualDub. It''s free, works well, produces good results and is reasonably fast.
There is a wealth of information on the Net on it's use, but basically:
_____
Video joining:
Select Video/Direct stream copy.
Select Audio/Direct stream copy.
Open first video file.
File/Append AVI segment.
Select second video file.
Repeat with all video files.
Save as AVI and save the whole video.
_____
Deleting segments:
Play the video or use the arrow keys to move backwards and forwards through the video.
Click Edit -> Set selection start or press Home key on your keyboard for begining of cut.
Click Edit -> Set selection End or press End key on your keyboard for end of cut.
A blue mark section in the position slider.
Click Edit -> Delete or press the Delete key on your keyboard and the blue section will be removed.
Repeat for other section.
Save As.
_____
Making HD compressed videos:
Video/Full processing mode
Video/Compression
Choose codec = Xvid MPEG-4 Codec
Configure DivX 1080HD -- more = H.263
Single pass
20000 (maximize to increase file size and definition) - adjust this setting to get the correct final file size.
Audio/Full processing mode
Audio/Compression = MPEG Layer-3
File/Save as AVI
_____
If you don't have the Xvid codec it's included in the K-Lite Codec Pack.
If you find the compressed file size is going to be too large or too small, just stop the process and adjust the configuration.
Compressing that 12GB avi file into a 382MB file for uploading to youtube took about 20 minutes on my 3.2GHz dual core PC.
__________
The other factor is, of course, the frame rates on the route itself. My routes are probably the exact opposite of your - mine are small in size and focus on switching operations. The gameplay revolves around picking up and setting out cars in a yard and then moving to the next yard. In most of my routes the presence of AI trains on the main line adds another challenge - the need to navigate a path through the AI.
While my routes might look very dense, the focus is actually on areas that create the illusion of being there. And I was also quite flattered by one comment that the person got better frame rates on my routes than on a blank baseboard.
Your routes, by comparison seem very long and very highly detailed.
If you want to try one of my routes look for Krashnburn, IntenCity or (my favourite) DowntownTractionCo. All the required dependencies are either built-in or on the Downlaod Station.
_____
If you choose to use VirtualDub tell me if it produces better results than the software you are using now.
Regards,
Phil

Hi Phil after next week or so when more time I might wonna try your kind offer and explanation on how to with virtualdub.
i have a set of "smooth" movies 1-3 min short ones and now i run into the Youtube wall freezing every trial to get a little one uploaded. Darn how frustrating things can be. Stuck on one try something else works and than stuck on another donkey who refuses to walk.
Yes i know your routes is a different concept and real nice and fools the eye and exactly fit that purpose. Of course you have good fps no doubt but still I have seen some few baseboard routes that stuttered like an old fart coming from the saloon desperately trying to find way home.:hehe:
Phil what happened to the super trooper Russian stuff like sound brakes,curbs you name it and the cranes operational never heard again.... That was awesome stuff i would like to pick up again and drop as an Easter egg in my routes.
Thanks for the very kind, detailed exploit.
regards,
Roy

UP 9000-class 4-12-2
UP 9000-class 4-12-2 in action hauling a short rake of JointedRail empty IndustRail box cars. The locomotive is payware by The Cowboy, though I'm not sure if it is still available and some effort is required to get it running in TS12.
