Greetings,
I've searched Google a bit for information on how one would create their own MAME preview videos and really haven't found anything.
(Just to give some perspective on the angle i'm coming from.) I'm an audio professional (I mix live concerts, multi-track recording / editing / mixing), etc., I also know quite a bit about video editing, web design, and graphic arts. As I've recently gotten in to MAME, I've been bursting to get some cool content in to the community one way or the other once I get my bearings. Creating a preview video of all of the MAME games I have is pretty easy, but I'm trying to figure out how exactly to translate this to MaLa.
From the little I know, MaLa seems to like Xvid which I have "Xvid-1.1.3-27042008 _Final Release_" and seem to be able to encode and decode video files. For streaming files over the web, I'd usually use QuickTime. I just wonder what the general resolution or aspect ratio should be that will fit in layouts as well as file type(s) and other info such as pixel aspect ratio etc.
I understand that there are sites I can purchase a mass amount of videos like this from, but I'm one that if i can do it myself... why not?
