OSS (One-stop-software) Video Converter is an excellent program for video compression/conversion. You'll have to google for it though, as I don't know where to get it - my brother gave it to me.chan wrote:

I have a youtube downloader that allows you to strip the song of its audio in the process of converting it out of an flv, it really is a wodnerful thing (it will also let you take just the audio, ive gotten a few songs that way C: ) it has different video types to choose from and then you choose between low, medium, optimal, and high qualities as well.
http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/
it requires a download unlike the places listed above, but for people who don't want to take those extra steps to remove the audio/compress it, or dont' have anything to do that, it really is a great thing to have. Its simple to use, too.

as a video-ripper, I always use http://www.mediaconverter.org, see for yourself
I found a VERY NICE .ogm to .avi converter, which I'm going use in a beatmap
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=149026
It worked perfectly for me, and I hope it will for you too. It keeps the original video quality 100% and you can chose the audio bitrate.
ALSO
as far as stripping audio from the video to reduce file size, use VirtualDub, it works great
VirtualDub comes in a archive and you don't have to install anything, just extract and run the program.

I didn't know you can offset the video by opening the .osu file
so thanks
so thanks
Do what I do. Get Sony Vegas. Open the Music Video or RAW (If you doing a anime song) and then check the timing with the mp3. and rerender the video so the offset is exactly the same 
Works for me
Works for me Erm, help please? I have an avi file but osu doesn't seem to like it. It tells me to check my codecs... what's that?

hey, do the sound of the videos (if .avi) get automatically cut out when you put the vid into osu or is it layed behind the mp3 song of the map then?
hopefully it gets cut out automatically or it destroys the quality of my song ;D.
offtopic: something like a ingame video editor would be cool, where you can change the brightness and such things. anyway, that needs to be written in feature request board lol.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.
I added a video, well it looked bad with the beatmap. How do you remove it x.X?
From the edit screen - File, Open Song Folder and delete the video file from the folder. Make sure to make a Full Submission next time you update the map, or the video will pop up again.Nexy wrote:

I tried to adjust the 'lead-in' time but it doesnt work.
nvm, figured it out.
Edit: I realized it's a special avi that my computor can't read......... crap.......
Just buy a better computer then. Wait, what kind of comp doesn't play .avi? Can't that be fixed by simplmaybe I should let you figure this out for yourself.cloud9001 wrote:

im pretty sure im doing something wrong. when i click the Insert Background button and select the video, the video is in the beatmap's folder now. however, the video doesn't show up at all in the game or the editor. its just the background through the whole thing.
the video is almost 40 mb in size, is that the problem?

i compressed the original 313 mb video into a 40 mb .avi file with super. that was the best i could get and retain the quality, sry

Save the beatmap, then close osu! and reopen.
Size usually isn't a problem, but the max size for beatmaps with videos are 20MB.
i've got the video to work on osu! now, and i uploaded the original video myself onto youtube so that i could vixy it. cause im ghetto like that
hey! can anybody tells me if this a possible to put a 4 diffrent movies in osu? you know- if you pass you get a a movie if not then movie b ?
It's possible to put more than 1 video in a map but video layers like pass and fail aren't supported by osu! yet. If you really want it then request it in the Feature Requests section.immolove wrote:

can I use the videos audio if the song plays in the video?
No, remove the audio from the video and use a mp3/ogg for the song.Somenoob wrote:

Ok, so i have the video up with the help of vix, but when i try to make mp3 only, it failed on me and the music simply would not play. The music comes form the video i have, but i need a way too extract it into audio only, but not get that very same error (and i have tried twice).
Try using the mp3 from your iPod or iTunes. The music doesn't have to come from the video.Somenoob wrote:

Can osu support the h264 video in the background?
I can't convert my h264 video into h263 with Mediacoder 0.7 4616.
It's too hard to get that work.

Is there some way to add decent-quality videos onto beatmaps without lagging? Blurry and pixelized videos irk me, but whenever I try to put a video into my beatmap, they all come out very choppy, and the whole beatmap will lag, not just the video. I don't know if it's my computer's problem (I'm using a budget netbook, MSI U100), or is it just that Osu can't support good videos? I tried using a HD video, which obviously lagged, so I tried a 854×480, but it's no better. What seems to be the problem?
Dudes! Use Linkyoutube.com
You just have to type "Link" in front of Youtube and your done!

F2 in editor, click Insert Background Video. Use the slider below to adjust the start time offset.
The "F" buttons on my computer are used to do things like change to volume or turn the internet on/off...I can't use them in games. My computer can't read the ".osu" file without a special program or something. Can someone tell me how to insert a video?
http://www.convertfiles.com/ is also good to get videofiles for youtube videos.
My video starts 16sec before the song, it means when i'm adding the video as a background if i offset it at -10000ms, it still doesnt fit with the song (6000ms too long). I tried to cut my video with sony vegas pro, but osu stopped responding me and crashed, (or something like that...) when I added it as background.Gens wrote:

How should I do to make my video and music sync, please ?
What slider are you talkig about when adjusting the video time. I 'm really confused on that... my song has a silence at the beggining and I just need to set the point that the video starts at... help?
i tried it out and it is better to use the FLV format i download videos as a regular wmv format then i convert them with http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/ (has no viruses and converts various formats ) to flv i'll try to make a tutorial because i think a video would be better to explain
oh and the converter downloads youtube videos with the link button....so i recommend that converter.....

My Osu! not play the videos of my most beatmaps, my computer is very new, not yet one year old, and has installed very good things and lots of memory, i don't know that could be, I tried everything. And nothing works. Sorry for my english, I'm from Argentina, greetings.
Mi osu no reproduce videos de la mayoria de mis beatmaps, mi computadora es muy nueva, no tiene un año, y le he hecho instalar cosas buenas, y mucha memoria, no sé que podría llegar a ser, he intentado todo.

i can only see insert background not backround video
how you make the video without sound?
I still confused on this ;___; someone got worked program that can strip audio from a video file? Thanks ;_;
that's the same i see too only on my edit screen ;.; can some one tell me why?feverheavenrhythm wrote:

To answer a few questions, even though it say insert background, you can insert a video through that selection. Just select a video and it will place it into the song. (You can insert a bg first and then insert a video to have both)
To make a video without, audio, you can follow this guide t/96003
Wow, this guide is ancient now..... I think I might either unsticky this topic or take over.

What is the maximal allowed size for videos in beatmaps plz?

Try to keep osz files under 10mb, or 24mb if you include a video/storyboard (please remove the audio track from video files to save space).In short, all of your maps components added up together must be less than 24mb. If you have a large .mp3 file, lik 6mb large, you can have at max a 18mb video. Just make sure to encode your video correctly when making it (Hint: you can always follow t/96003).

One question, why does osu not support x264 codec? I tried adding an x264 (mp4) video and was told it was not able to. Is AVI (Xvid) and FLV (h263) truly the only options? AVI has a bad compression rate and generally results in a heavily macroblocked video at a bloated filesize and FLV is far too low quality to be considered useful.
I would love to be able to use level 4.0 or even 5.0 / 5.1 or 5.2 x264 videos. Generally a 2 minute video can be kept in 848,480 progressive at around 7MB with little to no macroblocks, aliasing or banding, halos etc etc.
Oh and for removing audio, mp4box or mkvmerge can easily remove audio from x264 files. mkvmerge also does avi IIRC, but it outputs as an mkv, so you just change the extension back to avi (as it doesn't change the codec, only the container and .mkv is the wrong container for Divx)
Edit: spoke with peppy and he says it works, so now the real question is why doe OSU tell me I cannot use it...

Don't understand why we can't just host the beatmap. It takes way too long on my shitty internet to even upload a video..
The video I am adding to my map is over 24mb .
Is there any way I can cut it down to under 24 MB?

If you've already stripped the video of its audio, try lowering the bitrate.

In all honesty, I'd love it if someone listed all the substitute options for Vixy Freecorder, because stupid Chrome disabled my extension, and won't allow me to re-enable it. *sigh* Does anyone else know any other options that Chrome is compatible with? I'd love it if someone could help me out.
