Mid Week Operation - "Pimp my Op"

Sadly the video I made is pointless. Dxtory has the tendency to randomly (I have no idea why) to disable one setting that makes sure the recorded audio is in sync with the video.

Music ? 

Dxtory records the audio sound from the game (and also from the mic) separately. For some reason the codec that is used seems to have issues with ArmA 3 and you end up with audio that is out of sync and you would see me or people shooting and hear the BAM BAM BAM 1-2 seconds later. There are two settings in the software that can pevent this. Problem is that it looks like after updates and other changed it is manually changing those settings to off :C

Can't you just choose a distinctive action that matches with audio (for instance, firing your own weapon), and then displace the audio track until they match up? Seems a shame to lose all the footage otherwise.

Nah it doesnt work like that because the desync is not always the same and it varies. I may can use some footage for the channel trailer like the fly-by from the apache at the end.

What kind of HD are you recording to? 

It's a seperate HD and not the one were windows or the game is running. This is a problem with the largarith losless codec that I use in Dxtory and it can be fixed by makin sure Dxtory is using the right settings. The issue is that sometimes dxtory unchecking the setting that prevents this from happening. |

Yea, I experienced this previously when using an external hd (USB3). Not sure if this will help, but this is what I narrowed my issues down to:

• Opening Dxtory before switching on my hd or activating my microphone would result in the 'Record Microphone' option becoming unchecked.  

• If I hit record while my separate hd had gone to sleep, it would mess the game-play and microphone audio sync. I'd have to ensure the hd was active prior to recording.

Additionally, not sure what's causing your input audio to become unchecked, however regarding your audio desync, what's your 'write speed' set to? 

Especially after updates from Dxtory both settings are magically unchecked.
