Put a video of your choice in your RandomMovies if you're not using DDR NG.

The jist of what I did to generate dancer videos:
1) record blank edit gameplay from PCSX2 using a high internal render resolution (like 4x native) and lossless compression
2) crop out remaining gameplay elements, trim unnecessary footage off either end, and compress with virtualdub using whatever codec Stepmania likes to actually display
That's basically it. It looks like nightly Stepmania builds are incorporating ffmpeg filters (again? for the first time? my knowledge of all this isn't perfect) and where trying to use something like x264 for compression previously crashed the game in my experience, it now renders nicely, so you can use better codecs than xvid to make a smaller, nicer looking video.

Place one of them in your RandomMovies folder. Make sure you choose "Random Movies" in the settings.

I pretty much did: PCSX2, virtualdub, and relevant codecs (huffyUV for the lossless capture, whatever codec works best with stepmania for the final compression).

I have some X2/X3 AC avis. Only works for SM5 due to h264 container. Sorry SM3.9 users.

And do you use the AVC?
this can convert to MJPEG for 3.9 users.

Could... could you record Zero and Alice? Zero/Rage would be awesome, too. Mostly Zero. ;>u>
Loving that we have Rinon videos now, regardless.
Thanksage.

What about some of the characters like Julio, Baby-lon, Ruby, or Victory-Concent and Geisha-Zukin if you still have time?

Many thanks for the additional videos razorblade. You rock!

Sadly, bgs which SupremeX requested (the green/black one) and the other with clouds cannot be done. I was just playing CHAOS song in beginner step, with cut, stealth and dark mods all on. Seems like this song don't show these backgrounds.

Is it possible with Love Again in Beginner?

BTW, you kinda skipped bg 15. I don't know which characters you have there but I'm a little curious.
Post #38 · Posted at 2014-08-25 04:33:16pm 10.8 years ago
Having Cut mod on won't make those 4th and 8th steps invisible. So is Love Again.
Edit:
bg 15 is in queue now anyway.

You said that these won't work in 3.9. What about AMX?

I may say, any SM3.9 variant, so is SM AMX and SM3.9+ REDUX.
I can only record video using CHAOS song with specified modifiers on, in beginner step. If you have any song you know of that has no 4th notes, let me know.
