I think I have an idea for the gif to avi thing, I'll experiment with that tomorrow during my free time.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

I just tested a method to create an avi file from a gif and it worked fine.

1. Have your gif file on hand
2. Convert it to a sequence of png or jpeg images using the GIF Frame Extractor at http://www.evanolds.com/dl/GIFFrame.exe http://www.evanolds.com/
3. Drag the first frame onto VirtualDubMod which will convert the frames into an avi file. Latest version is http://sourceforge.net/projects/virtualdubmod/files/VirtualDubMod/VirtualDubMod%201.5.10.2/

Hope that helps  ;)

List of stuff I need to do before September:
1. Finish the Emulator of the Casio Prizm (in active development)
2. Finish the the SH3 asm IDE/assembler/linker program (in active development)
3. Create a partial Java virtual machine  for the Prizm (not started)
4. Create Axe for the Prizm with an Axe legacy mode (in planning phase)
5. Develop a large set of C and asm libraries for the Prizm (some progress)
6. Create an emulator of the 83+ for the Prizm (not started)
7. Create a well polished game that showcases the ability of the Casio Prizm (not started)

Is it convenient if you have to process 100+ GIF files? I don't think DJ will want to open each file one by one.

Does he have to do it all on his own, or can someone(s) help him with it?

I might be able to help with this, provided the homework doesn't go overboard x.x

Yeah, we might help him with the whole conversion stuff. If you want, DJ.

Well as long as it is possible to do it in batch conversion, not one by one, because that was my main issue to have to convert 100+ animated gifs one by one. :/

Also animated gifs appears to not always play at the correct speed in Movie Maker x.x

DJ_O, you're in luck (assuming you haven't made the screen shots yet). The newest versions of wabbitemu support recording AVI's, which I'm sure movie maker can handle.

That won't help. All my 110 screenshots are already made in GIF. I do not want to remake 110 animated screenshots, ThePenguin77. It will take weeks.

there are a few ways to batch convert gif to avi in linux (mencoder, ffmpeg, etc). if you uploaded the lot of them in an archive i could take a shot at it, if you want.

oh, and thanks for the tip, deep thought; i just successfully put FailFlush in the our files section. =D

I guess I should get around to submitting Blur and Collision Course, as they are complete games, and I never bothered to submit them before.


Spoiler For Projects:

My projects haven't been worked on in a while, so they're all on hiatus for the time being. I do hope to eventually return to them in some form or another...

Spoiler For Pokemon TI:
Axe port of Pokemon Red/Blue to the 83+/84+ family. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia:
My big personal project, an original RPG about dimensional travel and a few heroes tasked with saving the world.
Coding-wise, on hold, but I am re-working the story.

Spoiler For Finale's Super Insane Tunnel Pack of Doom:
I will be combining Blur and Collision Course into a single gamepack. On hold.

Spoiler For Nostalgia Origins: Sky's Story:
Prequel to Nostalgia. On hold, especially while the story is re-worked.

Yeah there was ffmpeg for Windows but it looked too complicated for me and I don't want to mess with stuff in command prompt.

Maybe someone should write a .bat file with a for loop?

Yeah maybe. Even then, I don't even have any clue how to start the file nor even which to download on their site.

What was your solution by the way last night?

Write said .bat file, I guess.

Aaah ok. Yeah that could work.

I personally don't mind if the avi files aren't resized either, just that they're uncompressed and openable in WMM .
