Your Cave Story Videos

I checked it out and left a comment or two MONSTER X RAWR

btw anyone curious about the quality of the video I posted? :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJj0j7oIEKM&fmt=6

In the event you are, here's what I used :
http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp <- free trial of Camtasia Studio
I only use the Camtasia Recorder actually...

I set it to 50 fps capture using their "Techsmith Screen Capture Codec". It's the best codec I've found for limited motion capture, like capturing your desktop or capturing a game like Cave Story when there isn't a lot of quick or complex graphics and motion. The more complex it gets the more CPU it burns, resulting in slower capture... Cave Story works very well with it though.. Oh and I had audio set to "What you hear" and recording at 48Khz 16 Bit Stereo. Did I mention this is a lossless quality codec?
Anything complex will result in slow fps though...

You can download the codec here by itself for free :
http://www.techsmith.com/download/codecs.asp

Oh and I capture Cave Story while it's windowed at 640x480 because that's the resolution required by youtube to activate the high quality option...

At this point you probably.. PROBABLY can just upload what you've recorded and have high quality, but I haven't verified this to be sure... I had trouble when I was trying to get it into high quality at this point. I'll have to test it again. But youtube does accept the file it creates.

What I did next was download a free program called VirtualDub, and opened up the video file I created. Then I re-save the file with VirtualDub using the Windows Media Video 9 format using the parameters :
"One-pass quality VBR, Best Quality for Performance, Quality level 100, key frame : 20000, and progressive frames." That creates the video file I sent to youtube.

Why the Windows Media Video 9? I tested a bunch of different codecs, xvid, uncompressed, huffyuv, divx and I think WMV looks slightly better than the rest for Cave Story. It's sharper than the others, which works for CS.
VirtualDub 1.5.10.1 :
http://www.doom9.org/

Windows Media Video 9 VCM :
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/AllDownloads.aspx
(On first drop-down menu select “Codecs Installation Packages” and on the second one pick “For Windows Media Video 9 VCM).

To make matters a little more complicated. I also ripped the audio from the video file I made... Using aviwav35.zip :
http://agrgic.tripod.com/avi2wav/aviwav35.zip
And imported it into a program to edit the audio, [I used a filter to lower the volume so it wouldn't be blasting], then converted the audio to 44KHz and used lame.exe to encode it into a mp3 using "lame --alt-preset insane myfile.wav myfile.mp3" in the command line (cmd.exe), and then I used Nandub found on doom9.net to rejoin the new audio to the video file I was ready to send to youtube.
lame exe :

AND TADA! So easy it's like taking flowers from the Warehouse. After you fight the boss to open the sunstone seal, and collect the dogs, and talk to Jenka several times.

EDIT : A few tips...
google this "FLV_Extract.zip" if you want to rip the audio from a youtube flv file
Also on any video that has the option for choosing either High Quality/Standard Quality modes, if you add &fmt=18 to the end of the video's URL it will playback in higher quality audio stereo. Instead of mono. Of course it depends if the file was originally stereo or not to make a difference...
Oh and to save youtube files : google "save youtube"
Here's an article on high quality on youtube : http://blog.jimmyr.com/High_Quality_on_Youtube_11_2008.php
That's all folks

 

i have a couple of vids http://au.youtube.com/user/Spickyjoe

 

Odin is Spickyjoe, eh? Then this is the perfect time to offer an apology for the reason you unsubscribed (Which I believe is my adding 20 Favorites at once action. I should've added in my channel info that I do that every now and again after finding enough videos that I like.)

Anyway, I've added a lot of CS related videos since my last post, but I'll just list the more recent 3 instad of all of them (Because that would be a long list for just one post)...

Yet Another Hard Type Mod
Includes myself taking the Level 2 Bubbler challenge I put up on the Boss Request thread

WTF? Story v0.2

BoostMania EX Stream Level Perfect Run

EDIT: Here's the site I found BoostMania EX on- http://www.geocities.jp/klkkbuny4e/

It was the first thing on the Google Search list when I looked it up after watching a video of Stage 8 (Outer Wall) on YouTube.

 

BadBeholder, do you have a copy of the boostmania mod?
I'd like to take a look at it, to see how he was able to make the shoot 'em up part.
It would be nice if you could upload it ty,

 

Did a nearly FLAWLESS 3 hp run of the Last Cave (hidden), and posted it. Tell me what you think.

Last Cave 3hp

 

I just saw it before you even posted here, saying there were 0 views of it on YouTube. I was browsing through everyone's pages after noticing some odd change that occured in the YouTube video previews. If they updated YT yesterday, I would've seen a change immediately, not a few hours ago...

Anyway, excellent job getting through there! I usually can't even get by that last part without destroying the first Press & clearing the rest from the side first.

(Oh, & that BoostMania EX link that you asked for is in my earlier post.)

 

Wow... that was amazing...

ill rubsubscribe im sorry lol

 

Here I bump, again with a video

This is something I may never reach this far in again without a starting weapon (Let alone more health)...

I know this may not be bump worthy, but at least the video fits the topic's title, right?

 

That's actually pretty awesome. Definitely bump worthy.

 

I keep wanting to go back and play Cave Story to try to single segment speedrun it but I never do.

Two things:
One: Why does Curly even need you to do hell?
Two: Running Hell sounds epic sped up.

1.She doesn't have the booster, also she seems too lazy to walk on her own feet.

2. Agreed, same with Seal Chamber.

 

Since this is a Cave Story related Video of mine, and since not everyone browses the modding/hacking forums, I figure I might as well post this here too.

To those who have seen this in the WTF-story thread, nothing new here.

Is it bump-worthy?

 

I have not seen your thread, or played your mod. And I'd like to praise how incredibly awesome this idea is, but words cannot describe it, unfortunately. Please finish this mod, it wins the internet. I will download the latest version immediately.
And, really late, but Bad Beholder's Hell run with no weapon but Curly is awesome.

 

Oh jeez Fab, I'd warn you about the difficulty of the current WTF-story, and tell you that when v 0.4 is released there will be an easy mode. But I'd rather keep it a surprise, I guess. So if you are going to play my mod, well, good luck.

 

Wait. Do you start out in a place made of red outlines, lasers and and currents? Because then I actually did play it. Holy god it was hard. And probably not worth it until the ASHPD is installed. So I'll wait until then to download it.

 

Cs & iwbtg

Something hilarious. I had played IWBTG this time of year. Imagine what would happen to posts with "The Kid" on it in the Mirai Gamer forums (using Default style or the Cave Story style skins)...

What kind of reaction is Curly having after taking out The Guy? [At first I thought she put on shades...]



Anyways... I'm uploading a walkthrough for Cave Story's Best Ending. Yep, the one everyone has been waiting for!!!!
At Last, you'll be able to see.......
the ....Best.. Ending!!!

.....

lol alright, basically it's mostly for me. I've been uploading Cave Story without commentary; so I can link to any part of the game besides just quoting it; or having to look it up. Plus, it's in 1080p HD... so if you have a bad ass computer and internet connection it should look pretty nifty...

As an added bonus I do some odd things in several areas that people don't normally do...
Like here :


This is no rush to the finish, as I'm trying to get almost all dialogue that can be gotten in a best game playthrough.

It'll take me a while to upload everything since it's already like 14 GBs and it has been encoding for over a day now... [poor computer...]
Here's the playlist for the videos, more to come since I'm still uploading them.
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F355DD57E4302764
(quality looks MUCH better on youtube; can't embed normal high quality for some reason... although you could click on HD I guess)

I plan to do the same thing for some mods like WTF story, Original Sin, Path of Ruin, Wrath of Revorshkenahl, Schizm, Curly's Story, Tale of the Broxxus, etc etc... (we'll see how many I get to...)

EDIT: Here's a second clip from my walkthrough that's probably not normally how you do it...

She(new post icon) closed her eyes and smiled.

Hidden text highlight (or click) to view:

Let me just say that she was trying to check out how her machine gun is working. She aimed anywhere and fired. It works, then she smiles. She didn't mean to kill 'The Kid,' but hehehe, it happened! You did see 4000 change to 4001, did you?

The video and GIF are downloadable.
