What do you use?! Program surveyreply | view profile | pm | quote

Hey all

Some info gathering that I am interested in…. please reply if you have a minute :)
Please keep value judgments to a minimum, for example "fraps sucks LOL". Thanks :) I might make another thread for that, hehe.


1. What games do you edit or have edited at some point in time? (include mods/versions if needed)

2. What programs do you use when making your movie?
 2a. Capturing programs?
 2b. Video and audio editing programs?
 2c. Separate 3D or special effects programs?
 2d. Other.. (special text editor, image editor, everything else)
 2e. What OS are you running?

3. Codecs:
 3a. What codecs do you use to encode with?
 3b. Encoding programs?

4. List all media players you use to view movies: (VLC, MPC, Bsplayer, MP9/10/11, quicktime, etc, etc)


Skip questions that don't apply for you, but answer in as much detail as you can. I don’t want consensus, I want to locate new alternatives to popular programs, new ways of doing things. I could look at the credits of tons of movies, but this is more fun :D.

Thanks all.

For example for me:
1. I edited Q3 mostly (baseq3, OSP, RA3, CPMA), have edited or played around with capturing at one time: Doom3, Q4, RTCW

2a. Default capturing built into Q3/Q4 engine, q3mme, Defrag. Little bit of Fraps.
2b. Vegas mostly (for: time line/sync/light effects), AE (for: text/advanced effects), some Premiere for my first few movies.

2c. Little bit of Combustion and 3dsmax, a lot of AE use.
2d. photoshop, notepad :). Used to use pjbmp2avi (or whatever it was called) now use vdub for image sequences.
2c. WinXP SP3
3a. x264+faac and/or xvid+mp3. Have used divx, wmv9 at 1 point.
3b. Megui, avisynth, vdub/mod
4. VLC and MediaPlayerClassic (with realAlt and quickAtl plug-ins) strictly, depending on the codec. Of course flash for streams, but I try and DL everything if I can. Used to use Bsplayer, WMP, quick time, real player.
