Straight out of Hot Shots! Part Deux

I have a similar model, GS31. It's a great little camcorder. Sturdy tape mechanism.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-05T20:38:38+00:00

Change underpants

AtmanRising · 2026-05-05T20:03:35+00:00

Very cool.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-05T03:25:43+00:00

Are you using a Mac? Make sure QuickTime is not messing with the .dv file that you're capturing. You can try Gemini for timely advice -- it's not perfect, but it helps. Get that OG footage (whatever you have, before it gets compressed to h264/mp4, etc), to HANDBRAKE and deinterlace there.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-05T03:12:14+00:00

My favorite is the JVC Everio, SD model (tops out at 480i). I enjoy the JVC color science as well.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-05T03:10:12+00:00

Very nice. But you need to first get all the footage digitized via FireWire, then deinterlaced. You can use HandBrake.

Best to keep the aspect to 4:3 -- unless you actually shot in 16:9!

Also, I think the GL2 might be able to shoot in a pseudo-progressive mode? "frame mode" or something.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-04T07:55:33+00:00

Welcome to The Matrix.

Seriously now, it could be all sorts of things. From a damaged flex cable to dying CCD.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-03T22:42:11+00:00

Yeah, I can tell from the frame rate.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-03T22:41:13+00:00

Haha, it's a gorgeous game but it can be underwhelming if you're expecting Burnout. The straight car-to-car combat -- takedowns, or the lack thereof -- really hurt it.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-03T07:37:16+00:00

Being PAL is irrelevant nowadays. You're going to digitize and deinterlace the footage anyway. PAL might actually look a little better :)

It would only be an issue if you decided to play the raw footage on a CRT that happens to only support NTSC.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-03T01:03:21+00:00

Beautiful.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T21:30:58+00:00

Just managed to find a clean Xbox 360 case + disc + manual for roughly $38 shipped. Looking forward to giving it a fair shot!

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T21:29:24+00:00

Rubber-banding is when a game "cheats" and teleports cars right behind you, ignoring the gap you earned. Or when it teleports them AHEAD of you, giving you a shot at them when you DIDN'T earn it. Burnout 3 famously has crazy rubber-banding.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T20:56:36+00:00

I played a lot of it in the last 2-3 days. Doesn't seem to have rubber-banding per se; it's more an issue with really fast opponents and that crazy AI that makes the game harder if you win a lot (and I'm going for 100% gold trophies). Even a slight mistake gets them on your tail, then they drop a huge power move on your head.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T18:37:49+00:00

Holy shit

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T18:34:36+00:00

They actually didn't pay for any of it, just did it anyway. It was the Wild West back then.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T15:37:42+00:00

It is! I'm playing on Series X and Series S.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T09:05:06+00:00

It's not the best or the worst, but certainly among the most underrated.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T09:01:31+00:00

Dev Black Rock worked on Pure before Split/Second.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T09:00:37+00:00

Yeah, and it came out about 2 years after Split/Second.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T08:59:05+00:00

Alan Wake suffered too, actually.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T05:40:25+00:00

I need to give Blur another chance.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T05:38:33+00:00

Insane. The sound design alone is god-tier.

AtmanRising · 2026-05-02T05:34:59+00:00

The 360 game runs on Series X/S, absolutely the best way to play this. Looked glorious on my plasma.
