Hi all, Just wondering if anyone else is having problems with the GPL2AVI program. Downloaded it this evening and installed it without problem but the video it creates comes out all distorted with lines all over it. All other videos I have play fine so just hoping someone can give me some advice regarding this. Also it doesn't seem to save the settings I give it, even the path to GPL, is this what everyone else finds?? Hope someone can help with this as I am eager to create some videos I can watch in those boring moments at work. I am running a PIII 600, 128MB, V5 5500. Cheers PH
Sounds like you are capturing in glide, IIRC it only works with d3d. DN "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I was able to get it working under Windows 98/Me, but not 2k. On the Risoluzione tab, use 16/9 aspect ratio, 36 fps (or less), check the Mantieni fisso Aspect Ratio check box, and Larghezza less then 1200-1300 by something. On the Cattura tab, launch GPL (if the button is grayed out, make sure you have an fps rate selected on the Risoluzione tab), and select the Indeo video 5.04 compressor; leave the compression options alone. After you pick your compressor, you should get a dialog with the Function key descriptions (F1 -4x, F2 -3x,...,F4 1x, F5 2x,...,F8 pause (very useful for switching cars and cameras mid-film)). It'll be in Italian. If you don't get this dialog, it's not going to work. Go back and reduce the Larghezza value a bit. If you do get the dialog, it's probably going to work. When GPL starts, go to your replay; when you're ready to start filming, press F-something (F4 is actual speed). It will start (or restart) the replay for you. After you're done filming, hit ESC and exit GPL. You should get a dialog exclaiming "Salvataggio del Filmato avvenuto!"; and you should have a hefty avi file. If this doesn't work, keep tinkering with the Risoluzione settings and different compressors. --Jeff "Peter Hooper" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
