can i use the song from itunes or something like that. I have it on an ipod, but i need something to get the music on and get the audio from the video.
Yes, as long as the video doesn't have audio it's fine.

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.

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!

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.

How should I do to make my video and music sync, please ?
RoadKamelot
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.....

[crimson]Uh. Where is this "Insert Background Video"?
I clicked F2 (brought me to Design), and the only insert background there is for a picture and colour.
I`m a noob at this so please dun me mean. ( o wo);;;
And btw, if anyone hasn`t suggested this, a great place to rip videos from Youtube is http://ytconv.com/ :D

Still need an answer for this? Anyways, I'll just give you an answer... Just click the "Insert Background" button and select the video you want to insert...

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.

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.

The video plays normally when it is played by a player.

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

From the wiki
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...

when i add a video and it is a .avi format, osu! encountered an error. I also tried using a .mp4 file on this. Any solutions? :|

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 haven't already, remove the audio from the video.
If you've already stripped the video of its audio, try lowering the bitrate.

An Chinese YouTube downloader that I've used for years is here: http://download.flvcd.com/youtube/flvcd ... .4.7.7.zip
Click the YouTube logo on the left of the window to create a task. Not understanding ther Chinese text won't keep you from using it normally :)

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. :D
