I finally got around to trying the latest version with optifine. It didn't make any significant difference to fps while recording.
Not that I was really expecting it to. The thread doing the game graphics is already having to wait around for the thread doing the disk writes, so making the graphics faster isn't going to help. Still, a fella can hope.
Also, mayaknife, it had a slight increase of fps on my system using optifine, so it might or might not work.
I can see situations where it might help. If you have a particularly slow graphics card, very fast disk writes (e.g. SSD), or only one or two cores then you could see some improvement. But I have decent (not great) graphics, normal SATA HDD drives, and 12 cores, so while I get a small improvement during normal gameplay, it makes no difference when I'm recording.
Whenever I set my video and audio preferences and then press f4, it says "saving chunks" and then crashes. Do you know why this is happening and how to fix it, thanks.
I get the same issue.
I'm running Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
I installed ModLoader, deleted META-INF, put the four folders for MineVideo in minecraft.jar, and put the MineVideo.zip into the mods folder. I can select my filetype, (tried three so far), but pressing f4 causes the recording sound to play, then it shows 'saving chunks', and crashes to a black screen.
It may be my system specs, but I'd assume that I should be able to record at least, even with a low frame rate. If you need anymore info I'll do my best to help, and I'll keep trying things to see if I messed something up on my end, but I'm pretty sure I installed correctly.
Quick question: What is the zip file that goes into 'mods' supposed to be called; 'MineVideo.zip' or 'MineVideo V1.1.zip'?
EDIT: I managed to catch an error report as it crashed, It said it couldn't find the 'videos' folder. Made the folder, and it records(with extreme lag) and saves videos. It seems the video folder is necessary on more than just Windows.

Yes, MineVideo doesn't officially support anything but Windows, but it WILL RUN on all OS's.
A couple of things:
1. how well is an intel celeron laptop core expected to run this?
2. This is great!
3. Will 1.3 make this mod run even slower or faster?

It's not extremely dependent on your CPU, more dependent on Graphics.
Thanks!
It should (with the performance tweaks) make it run 25% faster. (Reports say their minecraft doubles speed, MV drops FPS by 3/4, so 1/4 increase)
Note my math may be off, I didn't do any calculations

I'll be able to add some more config soon
Custom watermarks. (With the option to turn off)
Better GUI has been made.
Will release a new version. *soon*

The one inside the zip folder you download.
Also, try disabling sound, and see what happens.

Please read up on the new license agreement.
(Under the Emblem section of this topic.)
Sadly, no.
Xuggle (last time I checked) is not able to render .wmv
I would suggest .avi as a secondary, usually high quality.

Oh, because i don't have Xuggler
