Hey, I'm using Dxtory to record games and mic input and then I use MeGUI to compress it. Dxtory records audio to two different tracks in the file. How do I make MeGUI use both tracks without having to go through a third party program to extract the track separately?
[QUOTE=GreenDolphin;33662518]I'm on a Core 2 Duo system and am waiting Ivy Bridge as my next upgrade, when that happens PCI-E 3.0 should be the standard on most new Panther Point chipsets. Is PCI-E 3.0 going to be a gimmick or is it something that will very beneficial for future proofing? I'm hoping to get an mATX board.[/QUOTE] not important at this point, no current card surpasses the PCI-E 2.0 16x limits and as far as I'm aware any single GPU card is still fine on 2.0 8x
[QUOTE=reapaninja;33663223]not important at this point, no current card surpasses the PCI-E 2.0 16x limits and as far as I'm aware any single GPU card is still fine on 2.0 8x[/QUOTE] I had a feeling. I'm planning for the motherboard/CPU to last me a while so having native PCI-E 3.0 support would be a great addition for future GPU's I could possibly upgrade to if needed. Ivy Bridge is hopefully coming out in roughly 3 months so I'm willing to wait for it.

BRT, or anyone else who has used Dxtory, have you measured the write speed that Dxtory uses? [editline]10th December 2011[/editline] Actually, I'm wondering about filesizes and its encoding and stuff too. I should probably just buy it.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fZzXqZeKbs[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0KqsTa_HpM[/media] For part of your question you can pretty much use whatever encoder you want (in my case I use Lagarith Lossless Codec). I haven't fully tested this on my end but apparently I read that recorded video filesize is much larger as opposed to Fraps depending on encoder used.

[editline]10th December 2011[/editline] Actually, I'm wondering about filesizes and its encoding and stuff too. I should probably just buy it.[/QUOTE] Well, you're supposed to benchmark the HDD inside DXtory and it works at that speed. On my SpinpointF3 it writes at 120 MB/sec. I just got done a long game session that I recorded. On the Ut Video Codec YUV422, the same that Brt uses, 1 hour and 46 minutes of gameplay cost 131 GB at 720p, while recording both the in-game audio and microphone input. I have to say though, Dxtory isn't perfect. Look at this recording of TF2 I did to test. [url]http://youtu.be/9aP6H158kwM[/url] You can see how choppy it is even though the game was running at solid 60 fps and the recording was a solid 30 fps. In the other games I've tried with it though (Just Cause 2, Skyrim, and Serious Sam 3,) the performance was exceptional. You already commented on one of the Skyrim videos I posted in the CIPWTTKT thread.
If it's choppy, turn on synced frames. [img]http://puu.sh/anF5[/img] Not to get into it too much, DXtory has the ability to grab the nearest frame in-time and place it for the next frame. This is why the game feels like there is nothing slowing it down while recording, and why fraps feels so sluggish. It's a fact of real time recording.
Am I better with going with an i3 sandy bridge ([url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115078[/url]) , or a quad-core AMD ([url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103943[/url]) Thank you in advance. This is for gaming.
Where can I go to get chaintech mobo drivers? Driverguide requires me to pay or use their installer and their installer requires internet accesss which the computer doesn't have drivers for.

Why is BF3 lagging when my computer writes to pagefile - which is on a completely seperate unused HDD? I hate pagefiles. [editline]11th December 2011[/editline] am I a bad person if I get 16GB RAM?
No, RAM is so cheap. Like 60 bucks for 16 billion bytes.
Yeah... I'm buying 16GB, I feel like a big homo. I'm going to turn off my page file. [editline]11th December 2011[/editline] [img]http://puu.sh/aoa9[/img] welp
Those ribjaws are so fugly it's amazing
I'm not liking the heat spreader and color, but at $30 for for 8GB 1600 DDR3 I can't really complain.
I turned off my pagefile and the game started crashing all the time, got some weird out of memory error citing my graphicscard, drivers, vram and shit. Turned it on again but limited it to 256mb, put it on another HDD and the crashing stopped.

With 4gb of RAM, what's a good limit to set the page file at? I've never messed with it, to be honest.
What would be good and easy, free maybe, video editing program for like; cutting parts off, fastforwarding, and maybe some other stuff like sound/music, and also putting together clips that you've cut.

Can anyone tell me of good laptops in the 1000-1200$ range?
[QUOTE=wanksta11;33656267]This is my first build I just set up yesterday, I think it's the voltage since it's at 1.256 on auto at 3,7 ghz. I tried putting it at 4.0ghz with 1.140 volts but my computer blue screens. Can you guys tell me a guide for a begginer overclocking?[/QUOTE] I don't really have a guide but mine is stable at 1.35v @ 4.5ghz. Give that a go if you want, just check the temps. Anything below 1.325 and I started to blue screen.

Bollocks is it, doesn't even accept flv/mkvs and half the AVIs I try.
