I'm BACK!

Hey everybody, I returned after a long time, as I decided to take a break and play some Gran Turismo, Black Ops, go on holiday, etc., but I'm back now.

Anyway, I was trying to find the highest quality video of an real (not emulated) Intellistar so I could try something in Sony Vegas.

I have looked for a bit, but I am really a bit stuck finding REALLY high-quality ones that look sharp and well-detailed at full-screen on my 1650x1080 monitor. Can anyone help? Also, if the video is not on YouTube but have a video on their computer, would it be possible to send me it?

Thanks!

Thanks, guys!

Those clips are prety good, but I meant even higher quality than this:



GT1racer, it seems to me that all of your clips are incredibly saturated, and quite dark. Are you sure your monitor's all right? No offense, but it looks kinda weird....

Honestly, does it really matter? As long as I can read everything on the video I'm satisfied with it. Even my 240p videos still look pretty good.

You may be surprised to hear this from me, but for me, absolute yes. Reason? Emulations.

Yeah, but I did say in the OP that I wanted to use it in Vegas to try something, so it wouldn't be very good in 240p.

I wanted to try overlaying some text and images to 'restore' it. I can afford After Effects, but I don't understand it and I don't know if my computer can handle it.

If thats what your doing i wouldnt use Vegas  :no:  Maybe what you could do is print screen a video, then use a program like GIMP or photoshop (if you have it!) then do it :thumbsup:

Do you think it is worth getting After Effects,  as I  may be able to get a significantly better computer quite soon.
What are your computer specs?  ;)

I agree. This entire thread just seems like one of those "my stuff is better than yours" types of tings. IMO, the content of the videos is more important than the quality.
My super-awesome website!

That's as HQ as you can get, sorry it doesn't appeal to you.

While I don't really understand why he needs such HQ vids, I respectfully disagree in that I would not consider your videos high quality. There are definitely color issues (whether on purpose or not).
