ViReEn - VIdeo REcorder and ENcoder

  • nucular     7th Feb 2013 Member 5 Permalink

    Finally, the first version of ViReEn.

    This is the successor of my mod of gamax92's moviemaker. Completely rewritten, it now appears as an extension to TPT's recording function. So now it is recording almost lag free!

     

    DOWNLOAD:

    You need FFMPEG to use it. Vireen should open the download page, otherwise:

    http://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html

     

    It does not work in subdirectorys of TPT now (including Autorun Manager), so please install it as following:

    1. Copy script in TPT's directory

    2. Create / Edit file named 'autorun.lua' in TPTs directory

    3. Add line: 'dofile("<insert scriptname>.lua")'

     

    HINT:

    Press [R].

    Record something.

    ViReEn pops up.

    Save Video.

    Done.

     

    I always welcome wishes, own code and bug reports here.

    Enjoy!

    finally someone with good code :O
    well, probably function button_codec_change() is a bit dumb but still

    oh yeah, checkloop() is dumb too

    why? its the only method i can get the selected button in the recording dialog. i think.

    local checkloop --otherwise it won't be seen inside the function itself
    checkloop=function()
    local x,y = tpt.mousex,tpt.mousey
    tpt_records = pressed(x,y)
    tpt.unregister_step(checkloop)
    end

    I have two questions.

    Why does one frame eats (~)689 KB I once recorded 6311 frames and cost me 4GB?

    Does this let TPT save frames the convert it into a video or it records it like a normal video?

     

    Trivia (Sort of .......)

    So if TPT is running at 60 FPS the it will produce (~)0.0394 GB a second or (~)40.3710 MB of frames.

    Now that's a lot. (assuming that 1024 KB is 1 MB)

    What have you saved the script with?
    If notepad, make sure the encoding is ansi
