8My first demoscene capture as its own video.
Also my first Wild demoscene Capture.

Important notes on Video layout
===============================
0:00 It starts out on the PS2 screen.
0:12 Transitions to the Oscilloscope's output.
3:33 After the ship flies off-screen, the view shrinks, allowing both displays to be shown side-by-side. On the left is the Analog TV output, and on the right is a different Oscilloscope display.
4:04 The final transition of the video. This introduces some whitespace in between the two displays so the "NEW VIDEO MODES UNLOCKED" scene, the whirling shapes, and the "cruise over" word art properly line up.
5:37 At this point, the demo is practically over. There's just a scroller at the top left and the two words oscillate between the two screens.
Captured using PCSX2, ffplay, and OBS.
The ffplay waveform output was from a lossless AVI of the PS2 emulator's display.
One thing that bugged me about the Emulator's output was the fact that it was stuck at 30 fps, and stayed there, running slower than normal, which brought the whole runtime of recording it to ~20 minutes.
Sony Vegas didn't want to cooperate either. Just because it wanted to, every so often in the PS2's display, there would be a glitchy VBlank frame. I fixed all the glitches in editing, at the expense of an overheated PC and a BSOD while rendering the video the first time. At least the end result was worth it, imo.
