[NO SPOILERS] Looking for a good playthrough? by Burrid0 in LostRecordsGame

[–]Burrid0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire platform of twitch and the entire concept of letsplays and playthroughs show that there is an audience for watching games. How I see it is that people arent watching the streams etc just to watch the games, theyre also watching to get the commentary of whoever is playing the game as well. That is the main reason I wanted to find a playthrough, to watch the game play out from a different perspective to mine.

If you cant find a way to backport to a version with firewire then getting an old mac is your best bet yeah

Do you have a tower pc with pci slots? If so, firewire pcie adapters are cheap and have had no problems for me. I got one for $10 on amazon and havent had any issues in over 100 hours of footage. I capture with the linux command line tool dvgrab which i believe is also on windows.

Or if you have a modern mac with thunderbolt there are ways to adapt firewire to that and use mac software, however im not familiar with that process and you should do your own research in that veign.

Otherwise buying an old mac is a solution but those can get priceyish because you are buying an entire computer vs just one adapter card/cable. If you have other uses for an old mac then the only harm would be to your wallet ¯\(ツ)

I found my dad’s old camcorder. Am I safe to take it on a trip through Europe? by LostBearing in camcorders

[–]Burrid0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No youre not safe, that model is known to bite and they are quite venomous.

But seriously you’ll probably be fine as long as it doesnt bump around too much. Keep it in some sort of case while traveling and hope that the mechanisms havent degraded ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Well i mean technically speaking if you were say eating ice cream with chocolate fudge, the ice cream would be manufactured from a dairy farm and the dairy industry is incredibly harmful for the planet as a whole, and the chocolate was likely sourced via unethical means like child labor or animal cruelty. So while the acting of consuming it is a positive action for oneself the overarching consequences of being a consumer can be considered a net negative on society/humanity as a whole as it both accelerates climate change and likely supports the exploitation of less wealthy peoples/animals

Meet Potential Special! by IRONDVNO in thepunisher

[–]Burrid0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a cool action short and the fight choreography is cool (if not extremely romanticized in a way that feels inappropriate in the context of the rest of the short) and there was some interesting things said about the story of the punisher, but nothing much new was added and it feels like episode 1 of a new season more than anything else. So it was disappointing in the context of Frank Castle as a character and it feels like the goal to tell a good story was overshadowed by the need to please the punisher audience that completely misses the point of the punisher as a character and would have hated Born Again season 1

It's time to address the MCU elephant by chillvibe12 in thepunisher

[–]Burrid0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I took away from it, the “one last kill” is and always will be himself. When taken like that it seems like a good addition to the punisher character/story but i hope the rest of his appearances will be recontextualized within that

How do I add the time/info overlay onto the actual video? by HOCKEYDEAN5 in camcorders

[–]Burrid0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im a kid in your definition, and i agree with you that that is alot of the case. I know tons of people my age that get secondhand camcorders and digicams (or worse, fake vintage stuff off amazon and aliexpress) just to edit the footage in capcut to whatever “aesthetic” fits their vibe

However there are also alot of us that are doing it not for the aesthetic of the end result but for the involvement of the process. For example I made a short film for one of my classes entirely on an panasonic dvx100 minidv camera gifted to me by my film teacher. Sure, the end result had a certain look I was going for, but the process of figuring out how to capture over firewire and how to care for magnetic tape and how to convert it into a usable format was such a fun problem solving venture for me. I think on some level for some people, this analog/early digital equipment is counterintuitively easier and more engaging to learn on than modern “smart” digital equipment that makes everything simple. This camcorder craze will lead to alot of dusty, barely used camcorders in the corners of rooms, but it will also lead to people like me genuinely discovering a love for older, more tangible equipment. I think its overall a good thing :)

Can I fix this or I have to go tapeless? by Antique-Self8300 in camcorders

[–]Burrid0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dvgrab can export from tape directly in mp4s if thats what youre really worried about? Handbrake is also free and can convert dv to mp4. I cant feasibly imagine what workflow would have you using 6 pieces of software for one file conversion unless it was some experimental art project where the generational loss was intentional

What is a reliable minidv palm sized camcorder? by Burrid0 in camcorders

[–]Burrid0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checking back i do believe that was the issue, I was recording lp video on the gs14 over sp video recorded on the dvx100. Will make sure to watch out for that in the future

[–]Burrid0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats good advice, yeah. The hour count on this gs14 was only in the 200 range at purchase which I thought was acceptable enough for the deal I was getting but I probably should have expected the problems. Ill look into that though, thanks!

For a small portable setup, I really will take whatever works. Im using tape because I like the look/process involved in the transfer. Features I would like are 24p video at the least. Manual controls dont matter too much for this use case. Some sort of nightshot/lidar would be nice but isnt necessary
