I am using a nifty little piece of freeware called Fraps which allows to select your FPS and limits your game to such frame rate! This is one feature among others that are targeted at gamers and custom builders who like overclocking like me.
So I want the best framerate since I am used to maxing this game out, not hard as it was designed so that it is easily maxed out by most decent new video cards or good old ones. (My GX2 stays pegged at the limiter of 91fps no matter what).
I want 60fps but I don't see the NTSC video stream with 60fps. It only goes up to 30fps or 29.97... well I haven't tried 29.97 yet but it recorded 59.94fps flawlessly. My problem is that Vegas doesn't allow the render to go higher than the 29.97fps or 30 exact ones... to stay within NTSC for sure I thought I'd just do the 59.94fps and in the timeline it was like butter... but now it will only render me a ghosted 29.97 version...
OH, BTW... It was captured at full resolution which is 1600 x 1200 which is 1,920,000 pixels, only a tad over 150,000 less and effective 720p shrunk and cropped. However, since we need it to play on a SD 4:3 TV then I desided to make a DVD... which should look decent and will play on any DVD player... and we'll only see half the TV for one shot or two. Perhaps the full screen dolly right pan up to the frond door where the lead enters.
Should I capture 29.97fps or is there a way for me to make a 720 x 480 60fps version to DVD somehow?
