capturing video clips on my computer - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Jo Fan 4 Life · 01-18-2001, 02:28 AM

For Christmas I got a TV on the computer and I can capture .AVI clips. I don't know if any of you guys would be, but for those who would be interested in me making any FOL clips (it's okay if you aren't--it might be good for those who missed an episode or don't tape them), would you rather have it bigger (more MB's) or smaller (less MB's). Also there is an option of the number of frames per second (more = more space, less = less space). The size of a 10 second clip ranges from about 1.5 MB to 4.5 MB. The 4.5 would be the best quality (240x180 screen, 15 frames per second). I first just want your guys' opinions (I dunno if I would even have the time to capture too much) and if I do then I would do it for you guys. If you aren't really interested but have a favorite scene or something I would try my best to get it for you.....okay this is really long and boring now and you prolly don't want to hear anything more, so I'll shush now and let you give me any ideas and opinions. (P.S. I just watched tonite's episode and it's on again @ 4:30 in the morning--I want to capture the bomb scene!!)

I, personally, would love any clips you could get. Espeacially The shoplifting episode. I got introduced to the show after the marathons I guess, so I didn't get to see this episode. (*sniff* poor me

)

As for size... I have a fairly good connection to the internet, so any size would be fine with me. If you could get it with better quality, that would be cool also.

Thanx!

When is the shoplifting episode on? If I can force myself to wake up at 4:30 and I grab that clip, would you (mystery jo fan) be interested in it? Or anyone else for that matter? Anyone interested can post any specific scenes in upcoming shows and I will try hard to get them but I'm going to have track and stuff so I'll be pretty busy....oh yeah, if you want me to try to get a clip for you, tell me the greatest megabyte size you'd want or the quality, size, etc. I could e-mail specific clips to individuals unless anyone knows where I can upload them (they'd be huge) for everyone.
Thanx

I don't think they're gonna run the shoplifting episode, actually. I think it's one of Nick's "controversial" episodes. But if you can get your hands on it, then Totally! That would be awesome!

As for Quality, Size, and Megabyte Size.. I'd like them in as good quality as possible, as big (you mean like when you view it, right?) as possible, and not too huge a Megabyte file. (I don't ask for much. lol. and when you're done, could you make me a millionaire?

)

Just play the megabyte size by ear. I really have no idea how to gauge what my computer can handle. And if the files get to big, you could always break them into more clips, but each smaller in size.

Oh, and if you want somewhere to load your clips, have you tried Tripod.com? Their site's for building free web pages, but a site full of FOL clips would be rad! I think they give you 50mb of free space.

Well they just skipped the shoplifting episode this run through. During the first run through of the show they did show the episode a few times.

I couldn't get up for the bomb scene

(i dunno if my happy face will show up I'm pretty new at this) but I'll try to get a clip tonite, and if u want, you can see what you think of it in terms of size, quality, etc. Just tell me and I'll try the tripod thing.
