- Get PrBoom-Plus - Use .kkapture Version 1.02 and capture at 35.0 FPS - While capturing, turn off anti-virus as it sometimes interferes with .kkapture - Use glboom and make sure it is in window mode - Use the follow settings in glboom-plus.cfg 
demo_smoothturns              1
videomode                 "32bit"
use_gl_surface                1
screen_resolution         "2560x1600"
usegamma                      0
uncapped_framerate            1
gl_vsync                      0
gl_sprite_filter              4
gl_texture_filter_anisotropic     4
hudadd_demoprogressbar        0
render_aspect                 3
render_stretch_hud            1
render_multisampling          8
gl_texture_hqresize           1
gl_texture_hqresize_textures     3
gl_texture_hqresize_sprites     3
gl_texture_hqresize_patches     3
Note: You need to manually change the screen_resolution since the options are not there in the game itself - Get the ogg sound pack of SC-55 and modify glboom-plus.cfg to use the music - Capture twice, once for YouTube and 512kb file (2880x2160), and once for regular file and optionally high resolution file (2560x1600) - Use AreaResize to downscale to 512kb file or regular file. Get it here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kn56wh7r81vk2rx - The resolution for 512kb file is 320x240 while the resolution for regular file is 320x200 - For YouTube, make sure you add ChangeFPS(60) to change the frame rate to 60 FPS since it is choppy at 30 FPS Here is a comparison of downscale methods where it shows AreaResize is the best: http://imgur.com/a/NkFVl

At one time I was a contributor to the PrBoom-Plus project and implemented an exact capture system in it. If that code is still there and still works, it would be superior to kkapture.

And it doesn't capture the melt effect apparently. EDIT: For the reference: 
# Video capture encoding settings
cap_soundcommand          "oggenc2 -r -R %s -q 10 - -o output.ogg"
cap_videocommand          "x264 -o output.mp4 --crf 0 --muxer mp4 --demuxer raw --input-csp rgb --output-csp rgb --input-depth 8 --input-res %wx%h --fps 35 -"
cap_muxcommand            "mkvmerge -o %f output.mp4 output.ogg"
cap_tempfile1             "output.ogg"
cap_tempfile2             "output.mp4"
cap_remove_tempfiles          0

That would be great! Only reason I don't use the internal capture was due to the melt effect is missing. This is being captured by .kkapture though. Maybe your code didn't get to the stable releases =/.

So you're wasting time and getting inferior output just to get that stupid melt? Ok, have fun.

Exactly. Can there be a way to capture it internally?

To be fair, the melt effect is an integral part of the game's visual appeal. Also, how does kkapture produce inferior output if each frame is captured fully? It hooks the target application's video output to capture every frame accurately, if I understand it correctly. I might be wrong, and I genuinely desire to be educated.

https://github.com/vadosnaprimer/prboom-plus/releases/tag/feos1 https://github.com/vadosnaprimer/prboom-plus/releases/tag/feos2 Wipe effect included in the video. Native 320x200 resolution with minimal goodizers is possible and preconfigured. Tiny ffmpeg included. Trevor soundfont included (gain 500 may be too much?). Dump video like this: 
prboom-plus -iwad YourWADFileHere.wad -timedemo YourDemoFileHere.lmp -viddump video.avi
Tell me which config tweaks we need to change for this to become official. Looks pretty damn close to native if you ask me: DOSBox dump PrBoom dump PS: This is meant to be pixel accurate to native Doom look, with shrinking width to be 4/3 of height in post. Can't trust that job to prboom since non-square pixels won't look right at low resolutions.
