I have a Vice recording of me beating all the levels. Well, all apart from the last two. I was literally so exhausted from playing the first 45 levels that I just gave up.
Since it's quite impressive to watch I was hoping to convert it to a video format and maybe put it online and on Youtube, but I've never had any luck with that kind of thing on my computer. The screen capture programs I've used have a lot of frame-drop and the end result is always disgustingly jerky.
If anyone, I mean, either of you guys
can help, let me know please.

Just go to
http://www.c64-longplays.de/tutorial.html and read the part under the last screenshot.
Basically, you send your vsf's to this Monty Mole fellow and he converts it to an .avi and publishes it on his site. Then, you can download the avi and do whatever you want with it!

I'm afraid Monty Mole will not convert it to avi. He once told me that w.r.t. Boulder Dash games, he only likes to have the official games (BD1,2,3) at his site....
This is something I could understand, as the site is about
C64 Longplays, and there are thousands of (unofficial) BD games and levelsets.
But still a pity for us...

Sorry Sendy, I was trying to avoid this conclusion, but it looks like you'll need some unreasonably expensive pro-quality screen capture software to get a video without the disgustingly jerkiness. I couldn't find anything to convert vsf's to avi's.

(I double-posted again
.)
However, I bet that people that are truly interested in the video would be cool with DL'ing the vsf's (and WinVICE if they don't have it) to watch it.
It's truly a shame that you can hardly find even the simplest forms of video software, thanks to all the software makers (whether it be full-fledged companies, small groups, or individuals) who care only about money and not serving their consumers. The economy sucks at times...
