0x0002 - Xbox Controller USB Mod
210Here is another throwback video. This was recorded in June of 2016. As soon as you start watching you'll see why it was shelved...
What happened:
This is the *first* video of the style I've adopted that I recorded and I was still trying to figure out how I would do it. I thought it would be cool to record the process at three different camera angles. So I put my DSLR above, my phone 6P to the left, and an s5 to the right. I didn't want to have to worry about local storage on the devices so I thought it would be a good idea to stream the video back to my computer from the phones to record. I also didn't want to have to deal with my camera's 10m record limit so I captured HDMI from it on my computer. So I was simultaneously recording 3 60fps 1080p video sources. Oh yeah, my computer was actually a core 2 quad with 8GB of RAM with a 5400RPM HDD. This was not well thought out.
So it throttled like crazy in the CPU and disc access. The phone video was lost, and this was choppy. I was not happy with the result and moved on. But I number these videos by project and I stick to the numbers I give them. So I did what I could to make this a normal video but there isn't much I can do for the frame stutter.
The video playback will feel a bit better if you watch it at a higher playback speed. You also just have it in a smaller window while you're doing something else so it isn't as jarring.
At the end of the video at 18:15 there is some screen capture of the result. It is much smoother
