Title: HyperCam video utility!
Post by: weazel on January 02, 2000, 10:28:00 PM
 For anyone wishing to make AVI videos of Aces High films go to>  http://www.hyperionics.com/ (http://www.hyperionics.com/)  and download Hypercam. You need some serious CPU horsepower though,I`m at 525mhz,256mb sdram,V770 TNT2 32mb and the quality isn`t very good. I will tweak my PC some more and if I come up with any fixes I`ll post it here.

Note that Hyperionics suggests changing to 8 bit, 256 color mode to achieve an acceptable frame recording rate.  See below.

>>>For best performance please set your machine in 8 bit color mode (256 colors). We have found out that in this configuration HyperCam
can capture up to 10 frames per second of 640x480 pictures on Pentium 133 machine. You may capture more if your capture area is
smaller, or you have a faster machine. In 16 bit color mode I could do about 5 fps of 320x240 frames. For 4 bit graphics MS Video does
not provide a suitable compressor, so the frames are written uncompressed. This is also slow and produces large AVI files.<<<
