Videos of Quadra

[Lardarse]

Does anyone here know of any videos that have Quadra in them (apart
from the polly vid), or have a way to capture some video of the game?
I've heard reports that it doesn't get along well with video capturing
software...

I can see how the DirectDraw version (current one) could be troublesome for
that kind of software. Maybe it works in Linux (with X)...?

The SDL version will most likely be more cooperative on all platforms
though.

I don't know of any such software for X11/Linux, but if there is, it
should work normally, it's just a normal window.

On Windows, SDL might work if it's using its "windib" video driver,
which might behave more like a "normal" window. I think it's the
default for SDL nowadays, but the SDL website would tell you how to
force it if you want (it's controlled through environment variables on
Linux).

Actually i made a small video about RZ***Stephen, when he trows a 16
liner in singelplayers. However it takes like forever to upload on
youtube. But soon there will be one out there

[Lardarse]

Would you be able to send it directly to me?

I could but i sucks, i've got some bug so the rec is played the dubble
rather then the normal speed. It could be fixed just with a slowmotion
effect, but i don't know if that's possible in moviemaker(dont have
any other prog:(. )

[RZ***Brandon]

Yeah... I have that rec. It's too bad that it's in speeded up for
almost the entire recording.

Lesser known is that I also did a 16-liner in singleplayer. I also
stopped after doing it (i.e., I hit Esc after the line clear) instead
of continuing on and dying at level 10 like Stephen. :O But sadly, I
don't think I have my rec saved anywhere. I thought I had it saved
some place, but I didn't find it amongst my archives of files. :(

And... I think Ric did a 16-line S/Z (zigzag) clean in a Peace game. I
don't remember ever downloading that rec though, and it happens
somewhere in the middle of a 10min. Peace game.

Oh, and I also have a rec of some guy being lucky and doing a 20-line
clear in a Multiplayer game.

I suppose I can upload some of the old recordings I have if there's a
request for them.

ric's a ree :). He made a S/Z 18 combo clean. Everybody seemed to have
it for like 1 year ago, now there's no one :/
Actually there are some demos uploaded here
