Sims 2 movie quality

[alexitoab]

Hello everybody!!

I have some questions about the quality of my sims 2 movies. I've changed the settings of the video from 640x480 to 1280x720. The quality of the videos are set to high and uncompressed and now when I changed the settings the videos are very heavy. Just 8 seconds are 499MB. I'd like to know if high quality is the same quality as high uncompressed.

Sorry if this is a stupid questions but I couldn't find anything about that. Thanks in advance

OK, the best way I can describe it is to get you to think of a file as an accordion. When you pull the accordion open, it's uncompressed and takes up more space. Squeeze the accordion and it becomes compressed and takes up less space.

So, really, the difference in the two isn't quality, but the space it takes up on your drive.

Alternatively you could use another program (much like using a screenshot program instead of ingame pictures). I think Fraps might be an alternative. I'm not into sims 2 filming, so I don't know which programs are best, but there are probably more than enough tutorials to find on the theme.

One thing for sure - you should have a lot of space available.
