Hi AW'rs,
I have tried to make clear Video in AW of what I have built and find it
very difficult. I have a 4 meg ATI Rage2+ Video Card, with TV fuction. I
used a shareware,shelfware called SnagIt in my attempt
http://www.snagit.com/ and the problems I encounter are 1. It won't do
sound. 2.my avatar dosn't run smoothly while snag it is running and I end up
with a bouncy video. How can I get my Avatar to move smoothly? Like how
can I get avatar to take 2steps and stop. or three steps and stop? move up 2
possitions and stop, and move angle of view smoothly I would love to have
the effect of flyby's.
I also tried the TV out feature directly to a VCR but it was too fuzzy for
me. This did a real time video with sound which if it were clear enough I
could make it into a Web Video. I'm planning on upgrading my Video Card and
that may solve some problems.
So has anyone got a better method? Does anyone have any AW video on a
website I could take a look at? My samples are too large( I connect at
49333bps), and too chopy to bother uploading for now. Thanyou,
Hovy

Hi thanks for responding.
I looked up AveryKey and I saw a reference to Mac's, I have a PC so it
may not apply. I already have the abiltiy to use a TV screen instead of a
monitor, I think AveryKey does this but So far the method and the
equipment I have gives me poor resolution so capturing Video Tape from it
gave me poor resolution too.
I even tried using a camcorder to record the monitor but I couldn't get
it in synch and had scan lines interfering. Darn it, so close, it would
make a great copy to work from. If I could get it set right. If it is
possible.
The final result I want is MPEG movie or AVI. I just want it clear
and not this choppy motion I get. So capturing directly to MPEG or AVI from
the AW browser would be great.

Hi, Thanks for the links , I tried the Hypercam, so far I am not able to
get it to work well but I will give it a few more tries. With SnagIt I
just found I can capture raw video and the my frame rate has increased
conciderably I am still not able to move my avatar smoothly as I am
capturing. I may try Lotus ScreenCam next. Hovy

When I open AW to work offline my dialup box for MSN hops on top of the AW
window. No matter what I do, choose cancel repeatedly or hit the upper
right x it is back. Just when I think I closed it and start manuvering it
appears again. I asked microsoft about this and they felt it wasn't their
problem. Any ideas on how to correct this?
