I'm looking for some software that will take the output of my sound card as a source and then generate random images based on the pulses of the music which I can then save as a AVI, MPEG, WMV etc. A good example of what I mean would be the old "light to sound" disco boxes only I would be able to save the output (in this case the flashing lights) to a video file. TIA. Windows media player can generate moving patterns influenced by sound patterns. I'm sure there must be other audio players with this feature. Software for "screen video capture" should be able to record those patterns. "Camtasia" is one I've heard good things about. Never tried myself, though. Although yourself and the previous poster are right about Windows Media Player and virtually all other media players generating the visuals from sound, none of them seem to allow the process to be saved as a video file which I can then edit in a video editor. All the screen capture programs I have tried are not sensitive enough. It seems no matter the power of the machine Camtasia and progs like it are great for recording unsubtle mouse movements but cannot manage waves, explosions, colour fades etc without being jerky which makes lining up the video with the soundtrack impossible. Thanks for your suggestions. |

Agreed that it seems to take a ton of processing power to make these high res video capture programs run even sluggishly. I've done some work with 4.6 GHZ dual core Athlon 64 systems with 2-4 GB of RAM, on-board and plug-in video interfaces, and not found total happiness. One approach might be to use a video card or other device that converts the artistic rendering on the screen to a TV video format signal. Many video cards provide video output jacks. Then capturd the video signal with an external video capture device such as a stand-alone DVD recorder or other kind of digital video recorder. It is now possible to set up cost-effective a system like this that is based on Component Video, which does a pretty good job with DVD format video (720 x 480). |

Try these:-
G-force - www.soundspectrum.com. 2D, pretty easy on the processor and R4 - http://www.rabidhamster.org/R4/main.php 3D, my favourite visualiser - proper 3D, you can add your own pics, scripts etc and is the only one I've found that actually moves convincingly to the music. pretty sure both allow o/p to be recorded wrote in message ...
