  1. *Losing will to give a crap* :( As I said last night, they never specified the year but can they really screw this one up too?
  2. I thought the images were meant to be as they came out the game itself, AMG's has a white overlay with little opacity which where it looks good, it's clearly post edited and I thought that wasn't permitted in the actual entries to start with? [+] It was only in the first one so I guess it was more of an unwritten rule.
  3. Looks well smart especially in full CF, nice find. Hybrid if you could post the source at the top that would be appreciated just to be safe mate, thanks!
  4. Are you a Hairdresser by any chance S7ING? lol
  5. Suprised noone mentioned the fact they managed to get a Reventon and the Stig was driving it. That jet style instrument display was sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
  6. I think this thread is a curse, some replies lead directly to nuggetism for that person either right away or within that week. :oook::D
  7. Take the quiz and post your result. :cool: http://www.tomorrowland.us/sportscar/ I'm a Lamborghini Murcielago! You're not subtle, but you don't want to be. Fast, loud, and dramatic, you want people to notice you, and then get out of the way. In a world full of sheep, you're a raging bull.
  8. Uhh khevo, it's actually 3 each for Xbox 360 and PC! Nugget? lol
  9. Nope, that's only an input, plus most TV's can't output any kind of video signal when in VGA mode.
  10. There are Component buffers but note you would need a Capture Card that has a Component input plus if you want HD then it can cost a fair amount to get an HD compatible card. There are a few that will take a 720p signal and convert it to a 480p giving a fairly HQ capture. However if you want to do like the Gaming sites do and capture 720p HD video then you are going into the £100's and even into the £1000's. The ideal HD Capture Card imo would be one that can take a VGA input (ie the same connection your monitor uses into the PC) as high-resolutions are not a problem but these start at about £1000 still. One thing to keep an eye on is HD DVD-Recorders that support Component or HDMI inputs. These are still expensive but are coming down in price every quarter and would imo be the easiest and best quality for recording your X360. Maybe for TDU2 perhaps?
  11. 5 mins ....oops 4 mins to go. Cut it kinda close eh? ;)
  12. Week #6. RB26DETT :: Was informed to place a warning regarding that some images may not be suitable for those who are underage only to get the phrasing of the warning wrong.
  13. Have you had the 3RRoD lately or bought or received a refurbished console?
  14. Alright so you want to know how to record your sessions from your Xbox 360 (X360) so that you can then edit them and upload them to a site or something like youtube. Well it’s easy to do but it can be tedious, there are various ways too but they can be costly, quality is another factor you need to consider also but that’s another story. Ok then let’s get to the means of and what you’ll need to record, as I said there’s a few methods and I’ll mention and describe these as best I can but it’s not going to be completely indepth but it will be enough to give you a good idea of what to do and what you’ll need to do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) Capture Card This is the favoured means of many and is probably one the easiest and least costly to get setup and working quickly. There are many cards on the market and they range from the cheap to the utter mental for professionals. A capture card works by taking an input of a video source and an audio source and then using software to decode that and and a codec to record and ‘capture’ the video source to a file. Bare in mind these are usually heavy on filesize and will range anywhere from 200-500Mb a minute when capturing. Now the most popular makes of card are probably Hauppauge and ATI’s All-in-Wonder Video cards. They all essentially do the same thing, the only thing I would recommend is to make sure to get one with an S-Video input or if you’re not too worried about quality then the basic ones with ‘RCA’ or ‘Composite’ will do you fine. Composite is your basic Red & White for audio (sometimes Black for North America) and Yellow for video cable inputs and S-Video is video only, so note that if you wish to record audio and video with an S-Video input then you will need a separate cable with a ‘splitter’ (2 audio outputs into 1 audio input) at the end in order to catch some good quality ‘Stereo’ sound. Now with your standard X360’s you get a ‘Composite’ cable anyway so you could plug your X360 directly into your Capture Card and start Recording but then you would need to use your PC monitor as the TV. You could always use any ‘outputs’ on your TV to take the signal from your TV into the Capture Card but that would require another cable which of course adds to the cost, more than likely a SCART to Composite (Europe). S-Video, right this is a fun one as in Europe we use SCART and RGB SCART whereas in North America I believe they are mainly S-Video only. I bet you’re now thinking “SCART and RGB SCART, huh?” Well believe it or not, there is quite a bit of difference, you see a normal SCART is better than Composite but not as good as RGB SCART or S-Video. RGB SCART is how it sounds it splits the 3 RGB colours give the best picture. RGB SCART is comparable to S-Video but S-Video does still have the edge but unless you were doing HQ video for DVD or the like there isn’t really any noticeable difference. So basically what you need is: * Capture Card * Composite/SCART/SCART RGB X360 cable * Software such as that supplied with card or others like DScaler * Codec pack for good conversion, ie; DivX, XviD, WMV, MP3 etc Diablo’s Capture Setup To give you an idea of how I capture from my Xbox 360, here is a rundown of what I have an do: To start with I have a Hauppauge HVR-1100 Capture Card (this is about 18 months old now) which is installed into my PC (obviously) and then I have my X360 connected via an RGB SCART (aka Advanced SCART) to what is called an RGB Converter which will take the RGB signal and convert it so that the audio and video signals are separated and then sent down S-Video and Red and White audio outputs into the Capture Card. I then use a software called DScaler to do the actual capture in Uncompressed format which results in 500Mb a minute video but in very good quality which is essential when you are going to convert it as the better you start with the better the final compressed result will be. My setup is somewhat complicated as in order to play on my TV and Record on the PC I have to use an RGB Buffer which takes the X360 RGB SCART and then outputs that signal with no loss of quality to 2 outputs which is then connected into my TV and the RGB Converter. These cost about £60 though so if you can stand playing on your PC monitor and doing the recording then you don’t really need this. Also note the software supplied with your card may give you a delay when recording making it hard to capture well, this is why I use DScaler as there is no delay when capturing and you can use it in fullscreen or windowed mode also. 2) DVD-Recorder As it says on the tin, connect your X360 to the DVD-R, put a disc in and press Record. Easy, Simple and very effective, then just put the disc in your PC, edit the video then compress and voila! Completed! 3) Camcorder Possibly easier or equal to the DVD-R method, point a camcorder at your TV, even an HD one and press Record. Make sure you get the angle right though otherwise you could end up with an ugly black line through your recording. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So there you go, it took it’s time but I finally got it on here for you, any questions please don’t hesitate to ask but remember I’m no AV guru so I might not be able to answer all your questions. Hope it helps though! :D :p
  15. Damn you know what that LF-A remind me of? "You are the navigator!!" ;)
  16. Crap that's what I meant GTV, I knew it was the 350 I just forgot the V. lol I was watching Dragon the Bruce Lee Story and noticed what I think was a red 400GT parked outside the US producers house. Never noticed it before. -- OLD IMAGE REMOVED (imageshack) -- If you can't see the 2nd image click here
  17. It's not that noone cares buddy, it's the fact that there are new games out that kind of overshadow Forza 2 for playability and some are actually bored of running the same tracks. TSS you say 400 MSP is too dear? It was originally 600 MSP until last night because of the uproar from the community. It's a decent track but not one that people were really wanting.
  18. That's the Lexus LF-A prototype on the bottom, it's running around without the wing at times also. The top image just looks like an artists impression, where did you hear this is the new Supra?
  19. The game channel is just the default game so yes everyone in that session/map/city will hear you and vice versa. Regarding private chat, recently there was a dashboard update that now allows you to have multiple people in a private chat, not sure on the amount, think it's 5 though.
  20. With the latest update you can have multiple people, I think 4 or 5 including you is the limit.
  21. [rant] Wow would you look at that, nothing on the Marketplace yet again! And curiously enough Forza 2 true to their word has the Motegi Track Pack up and smiling right at 9AM GMT. Also see some more EA rubbish and new Spiderman crap but not one of the most sought after DLC's by many for a game that surprisingly many people still play 1 year on! Ubisoft, Turn 10 (alright I know they're inhouse MGS) and EA can all say dates so why can't Atari? This is really annoying. Let us know if it's gone in for certification and if possible a date planned for release or even a week commencing/ending. [/rant over]
  22. Sorry Nodz but there's no chance mate, GT5 Prologue is marked for a December Japanese release and it's been delayed until early 2008 in Europe and North America. GT5 will be at the earliest Autumn 2008.
  23. No the TG track will be in GT5 and release is sort of Spring 2008+, in typical GT style it will be probably Christmas 2008/Early 2009 then Spring 2009 and so on.
  24. This is Gran Turismo so it wouldn't surprise me to see the Liana and Lacetti ingame along with a white racing suit. lol
