3D capturing

[Placlu]

The screen taken for the video depends on youtube. They appear to choose the right picture in the 2D mode (they use one picture instead of two in this mode). I think that the 3DS has a centered position in 2D mode.

Yup.. you seem to be right

Red - 2D Image, Blue - 3D Left Image, Green - 3D Right Image
so by watching in 2D, you're missing out on like.. 10 pixels , but gaining it on another side

3D sure is interesting. I think the Kid Icarus video is going to the best Youtube can do, the Pixelation is annoying, but Youtube's 3D isn't fully there to begin with.
Thanks for adding this loopy and giving me headaches 3D Playthroughs here we come

I just tried recording with the new updated software it worked the first time but now it won't even allow me to record 3DS/DS games anymore I don't know what to do.

Could you be more specific? What's the problem?

I can't record 3DS/DS footage anymore. It worked when I tried a DS game in DS mode but when I tried a 3DS game the program itself didn't record any footage. When I click record it pauses but it ends it. I tried again but no luck so far the same results.

Thank you for all of your effort on this loopy. I have some details that might help with handling the 3D side by side properly.

I have a 3D projector with a side by side (SBS) 3D option. When playing a game in real-time with the 3DS capture card, the aspect ratio is a lot wider than it should be. When watching a YouTube 3D video however (set to "Half Width"), the aspect ratio is just fine. If you select side by side Half Width on YouTube, in 2D it looks like everything is a lot taller than it should be, but the side by side 3D format compensates for this. Could you use YouTube side by side as a reference for the proper aspect ratio to use for the 3DS capture card? This may just apply to playback, but could also possibly enable uploading to YouTube without specifying an aspect ratio in the tags (since maybe YouTube is primarily geared towards the Half Width SBS standard?)

Also, I think the bottom screen would work better as 2D when viewing in this mode if they are placed directly beside one another instead of with black separation in the middle. I believe in SBS 3D, that would make it truly 2D instead of at a certain depth.

The trouble with 3D is there doesn't seem to be an agreement on what "properly" is.

I threw together a quick & dirty hack that doubles the height. I also changed fullscreen SBS so it centers each half of the image on its side of the screen.

Thank You so much <3
That makes it so much nicer to upload to youtube
Only fix i would like now is that there was an un cropped DS mode option
Thanks for all your work on this

Is that a beta?
I dont see any changes on the main site
Also, anything new from audio?

Thank you loopy, that was incredibly fast! I was expecting to wait at least a few weeks and was spending a few hours trying to figure out how to change the aspect ratio through the graphics card to no avail, so I appreciate how quickly you put that together. Unfortunately I can't test it yet because I need to send in my projector for what I believe is a firmware corruption issue, but the centering of the images might be what was actually needed for the mode in addition to the aspect ratio change.

Here are some other smaller requests that you can selectively choose to implement and at your own pace:
* An option to put space between the two screens for games that have the action across both screens and treat the area in-between as invisible space.
* Virtual Console 1:1 modes, such as for Game Boy
* A full screen option that does not have title bars

If other might find it useful, here is a workaround I created for the 3rd option for Windows 8 in case loopy can't get around to it or you want to use the split option. Create a .bat file with this in it, Google/install the referenced exe programs, create a "Black Title Bars" Windows theme, and create a shortcut to the .bat script:

Code: Select all

start C:\Software\TaskBarCmd_1_1_exe\TaskBarCmd.exe -AutoHide
start C:\Software\3ds_capture\3ds_capture.exe
start C:\Software\TBarIconBlanker\TBarIconBlanker.exe
start "" "C:\Software\WinaeroThemeSwitcher\Windows 8\ThemeSwitcher.exe" "Black Title Bars.theme"

Here is .bat code that reverts the above:

Code: Select all

taskkill /f /im 3ds_capture.exe
taskkill /f /im TBarIconBlanker.exe
start "" "C:\Software\WinaeroThemeSwitcher\Windows 8\ThemeSwitcher.exe" "[insert your default theme here].theme"
start C:\Software\TaskBarCmd_1_1_exe\TaskBarCmd.exe -NoAutoHide

* Virtual Console 1:1 modes, such as for Game Boy

I guess I'll have to get some Virtual Console games, I don't know what these look like. Do they all use the same screen layout?

* A full screen option that does not have title bars
