IL2/Combat Flight Simulator Gun Camera

Simple, the effect I get with VirtualDub is IMO alot better. It changes the lighting, the speed and the sharpness of the video. And of course adds the usual old video effects. Where as the Growler's effect is too sharp and the lighting is too spot on to be a WWII guncam. It's more work, but the quality makes up for it.

Besides, as a hobby video editor myself... in my experience that's only marginally more work, for much better results. The little extra work is always worth it

You can always send guncam's AVI's to virtual dub. So you can still use Guncam for video capture to benefit from its performance advantage over fraps.

By the way, I'm trying to learn virtual dub. How do I do these 'high quality' old time effects?

Do I have to download some filter?

True, the last used script remains in VirtualDub so I just need to drag & drop the video files in and save them. Then I join them all up in Windows Movie Maker and add the custom crosshair picture over the video with Sony Vegas. It really isnt too much work. ~5-10min more.

Well, since you all are a bunch of video editing nerds...here is a cool program you might like (if you use photoshop). I'm not sure if there is something similar for video editing or if these filters can be imported to video editing software.

But, I found this to be pretty cool: http://www.filterforge.com/

Its a program that lets you make your own custom image filters for photoshop. Its very cool stuff.
