Caped Avengha's Pie Adventures

The Caped Avengah's Pie Adventures is online!

I just spend two days cleaning up the sound, only to upload it to youtube where it will sound like shit anyway. w00t. Is this movie worth two years of hype? You decide...



MPEG-1 rocks the fuck out of H.264.
I spent a good deal of yesterday compressing CAPA in a variety of formats before uploading to youtube. MPEG-1, with the video at 1.85mbps and audio at 48kh, 226kbps, gave me a much better and consistent looking video file that was a couple megabytes smaller than the H.264 equivalent (they were both in the 90mb range). And to put icing on the cake, the MPEG conversion took about half the time and also included de-interlacing, which I would have had to do separately on H.264, which would have made it take even longer. This brings me to a question I asked myself yesterday... who in the world would need to retain an interlaced image after taking the quality far below tape and broadcast standards? Gah. Anyways. I have to give H.264 a bit of credit though, their algorithm was smart enough to detect text and ensure that those images were crisp and clean. Too little too late, though.

Caped Avengah Kills!

An MSN log play-by-play of somebody watching the Caped Avengah trailer:

Mr. Moo says: (9:04:28 PM)

Could this be the best video of all time? I doubt it, but the film Titanic killed forty nine people* and my video's trailer is at one. Only forty eight to go!
