[QUOTE="L33, post: 226105, member: 4681"] Since building this cab, I get requests to show what a particular game looks like, played on the machine. Ive posted a few clips on youtube, and they look ok, but lack the quality Id like to give. After trying tons of ways to record gameplay, I realised that many factors affect the end result. Whilst I do record in HD, its the angles of the table, the different monitors, and the way Ive been exporting (interlaced and progressive issues) that have been causing the issues. Then I had a brainwave...and tried it last night. The result was quite pleasing. I still prefer not to record the full 3 monitors as the more of the cab you film, the smaller the playfield becomes, so the video shows just the dmd portion and the playfield. This new way of making the clips seems to be the best idea I can come up with, and I can't seem to better this idea. If anyone is interested in taking a look, I'll put the link below... All Im after really is some feedback (good or bad) so that I can either carry on and make some more like this, or go back to the drawing board and see what improvements can be made. Ive browsed youtube to see if the are other similar videos and they all seem to have difficulty showing the 'real image'. Viewing the video in HD obviously shows the most detail, but I guess it depends on what device its being played back on. But having just had a look via youtube myself, it does seem to look better. Anyhow, if anyone does get chance to take a look, it'd be great to know what you think. Of all the things Ive ever had to film, I find filming pinball one of the toughest challenges, but it seems I'm not alone. But then again, Im only filming on a little camcorder... :) [url]https://youtu.be/OOCfUVB5O3w[/url] [/QUOTE]
