sigma415 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi mpad,videos for RealDMD with PinDMD should follow these rules: http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/14608-real-dmd-support-is-here/page-4#entry124908I had a quick look on the FX2 vidoes on ftp, they have a much higher resolution not suitable for 128x32 PinDMD and are intended to play on a 3rd screen LCD.Full colour could be the next problem, real DMD videos should be b&w grayscale.As I don't have FX2 on my cab (I prefer the old fashioned original tables in VP) I'm afraid that I could not really help.

Found your other thread later and saw that you use virtualdub.As I am a total noob to this you don't happen to have a setting profile to share or sth? Are further plugins needed? I tried to open mp4 fiiles but it didn't work.EDIT: mp4 because I also have access to the nukelauncher media files which are in good quality. Somehow virtualdub can't process them.

Somehow virtualdub can't process them.Yes, you need plugins for VD. For .fv4 files I installed a plugin called "FLV.vdplugin" (Don't ask me, from where I got it). Maybe there are also plugins for .mp4 availabe somewhere.What are "nukelauncher media files" ?Maybe they are better suited as the .fv4 files on the ftp. These .fv4 are "pixelated". They simulate "dark" pixels on the LCD as dots with low intensity, whereas on the RealDMD they should be really black. So this confuses the resize algorithm in the PinDMD2 (and also the resize filter in VD) so in the end this will be transformed to gray pixels or areas on the RealDMD.So it's the same problem as with your camera videos: if original captures are bad, you will never get a good movie in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpad Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Iguess it is zens original dmd then. It is no real dot matrix but more or less a black grid overlay which changes size. So no easy way to get it clean. Pindmd does quite a good job then.I'll trz to play with some filters and settings, maybe i can get some better results.Nukelauncher is a launcher app for pinball fx and soon tpa to use with pinballx. Very nice! Jeff here in the forum programmed it and if you donate he provides a media pack (only for fx2) which is quite nicely sorted.

mpad Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Had some good results converting to 256x64 greyscale and upping contrast. Still look a bit shabby, but no more big distortions.It is definitely the source with the fake dmd effect. Now that I look at it it is really cheaply done by zen.No wonder they don't want to support real dmd output. They would have to redo all the animations.EDIT: Just wanted to add that after I had no luck with virtual dub I used any video converter AVC free. nice and convinient little programm. you can't apply global effects to several batch files yet, but maybe the devs listened to my support request. so you have to go file by file.
