>Schu< I have used such a program for a long time to show my videos to friends and family. It's called HyperCam - made by the developers who also made HyperSnap. I recorded Dion's 10 and the size I got was only 273kb.

The program isn't freeware tho', but can be downloaded as a demo... Or just find it on any P2P program.

blasted 122/123 est 65... last click. Hell of a corner that had a 50/50 leading into a 2x3 space. I guessed the far corner, hoping it would open up.

it was *all* mines - 3x3 square minus one. I should've guessed the 50/50, because that was the last blank space.

(then again, the safe space was closer to the edge... I almost always guess closer to centre so I wouldn't have gotten it anyway.)

So I did dions 10 int in SnagIt, made it into an avi, works just fine on all the computers I've tried, most without TSCC, and it looks good. I can't seem to upload it anywhere though to show. It's 803 kb, so that's why.

I don't think the programs are very good for editing video length or anything, but it would be good for creating accessible avi files that don't need a codec to get people into minesweeper. So, if anyone has requests (especially detrusor or damien), send me the mvf/avf/zip/txt/avi-with-TSCC-codec/whatever files you want to get in this format, and I can make the avis and send them back.

A nice jump... and I filled it in a bit with a 2.51 3bv/s later.

Now my 3bv/s records are very lopsided (4.25-2.91-2.63). It's really time for an int 3bv/s record. A sub70 would be nice, too

Finally I managed an update of my page - you can find it linked.
I added two sections:
- Meetings, there you can find of meeting minesweeper players. To start with it I wrote reports about my meetings wich Damien and Daniel. If you meet up feel free to send me a report for puting it online. (@Oli, Elmar, Hopsing: would be great if one of you could write a report about your meeting in Berlin)
- Burger King ranking. A ranking of expert games scored during meetings in restaurants.

@Roman: Yeah, is was a sureal day. But it wasn't just the day of great success, it was also the day of the second police raid in the accomodation of our cross country skiers. This time they raided the second house which was used for our ill athletes. Again the reason for the raid was an anonymous hint and the pressure on our sportsmen growed that much that our nordics had to hire a lower for public communication. And again the raid was the day before an event where our nordics were some of the favorits. For some of our athletes it was now the 6th doping control within 10 days with 4 results already known to be negative. With the time we'd like to know this anonymous guy.
BTW: Herman suffered from an influenca last week and everyone here was supprised that he was that successful.

YAY! It was about time... video at the link provided. I broke the trend by getting an intermediate record rather than an expert one....sorry The 3bv is 38, for a 3bv/s of 2.49 and an RQP of 6.53 (also a record), done NF as all of my best int games are...16+72=88 AR is also nice... And I am 181st on bestever when it gets updated...dead last among those with 87 total...hmmm...maybe I will get a sub70 soon... The board was really easy, with 2 openings I got at the beginning, and I could have had a 15 if I had seen the last part, but it took me a second...I'm not complaining though

Hi all. I was trying to use Camtasia and the associated crack (which doesn't seem to work) a while ago. I got my new computer recently and found my modem came with a bunch of software including "SnagIt 5" from Techsmith (latest version is 8). At first I thought it was just a screenshot program, but it turns out it has a video option, and it is actually quite decent.

I thought it was shareware/trial, but it isn't. It's installed seperately, so I could probably send the zip file, and techsmith probably wouldn't care. The program says Camtasia is better for video, but I find the video quality is quite good.

Best of all, though, is that the avi files created don't need the TSCC, and I believe it is playable on any computer (though I haven't tested it).

I'll let you all know when I test it.

I know it's kinda obsolete with clone and arbiter, but it would be really useful for making accessible avi files that anyone can play without any extra installation.

I'll let you all know how my tests with SnagIt go.

@Dennis: aaaack...I could not win an expert game with my right hand, NF after like 3 hours of playing... I missed an estimated 96 after 128/130 (50-50) and a last click 126 on a 199 (again 50-50) and by then enough was enough... The int and beg times are just the first games I won, 3bv 50 and 11, respectively... 167 total if you count the missed 126 Average 128 between the 89 total and 167 total....

I tried to finish 5 games of each again today. This time it took 2½ hours. I finished the first expert game after a couple of minutes but then more than an hour passed before finishing the next one so that was kind of bad. Anyway, I got the following result:

Exp: 60, 67, 78, 68 and 65
Int: 17, 18, 16, 18 and 20 (all between 46 and 73 3bv)
Total = 427 - so not as nice as last time exactly!

Its basically the same pattern with one mine added! Otherwise, Practice!!!

Its not long ago that I was pretty much as good as you... Must be depressing to get these sub200s without being able to be extremely proud... When I broke 200 on exp I was too excited to describe it here... Its just embarrasing...
This is a great chance for you though:
This way you'll probably be able to prevent bad habits from even starting to develop and you can start learning techniques early before you fall back into your original style while trying to learn something new... OK, it doesn't sound like a big chance but at least for me it was hard to break old habits. Good luck!

I never really minded that 8x8 was the only accepted boards. It was frustrating not getting a 1 on the clone though. It took me just over 2 years from the time I first found this site and made my first 2. During that time I got at least 4 x 2 3bv boards that I either misclicked on or came in just a bit too slow. I got a 2.17 on a 5 and a 2.9 on an 8 during that time as well. I got 2 9x9 1s so I was just getting ****** that I couldn't get one, but now I have, so I am happy.

I believe 8x8 was chosen in order to make beginner times somewhat valid. Anyone can get a 2 on 9x9 because of the many chances. It's much harder on 8x8. It doesn't require more skill, as you also mention; it simply requires more patience. Still, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It requires quite a bit of patience to get to sub-60 on expert as well. Anyway, I have 4 1s on 8x8 and 4 or 5 on 9x9 so I do realise that it requires just about the same amount of skill. Mind you, I've played about 100 times more 8x8 than 9x9... I think it's okay that if people want a good beginner score they have to play beginner for more than just 5 minutes but that's just my opinion.

For a 3bv of 1 it takes a minimum of one click. It could take two clicks to solve if you hit a number first, yada yada. This would occur much more often on a 9x9, naturally, but it doesn't matter, because 1 3bv boards are no longer accepted for either grid. Now take for example a 2 3bv board with 1 huge opening in the middle, and 1 little square down in the corner. This board would actually take MORE time to solve on a larger grid, because of the mouse travel and the larger area you have to scan. Now we are talking fractions of fractions of seconds, but that is sometimes the difference between a 1 and a 2. Density doesn't really matter when you are only talking about 2 or 3 clicks to solve a board. Obviously, 2 and 3 3bv boards occor more frequently on a 9x9 grid, but that doesn't make them any easier to solve when they do show up. You don't believe me? Set up the largest custom board you can with 10 mines and 3bv = exactly 2 or 3. See how many of those games you finish with a 2. Now, I realize that I may be taking this to extremes, but that's how ******* picky you people are about the bestever.

I used to think it was very unfair that 1-sec games on 9x9 were not accepted and the way I play beginner it doesn't make much difference either in the amount of skill it takes BUT the boards on which it would be possible to finish in 1 second are much more frequent on 9x9 than on 8x8 so now I do understand why 9x9 isn't accepted. On 9x9 I get a 2 every 5 minutes or so and it's more like a 2 every 20 or 30 minutes on 8x8.

My bestever shows 8*8 and 9*9 because Georgi used to accept both. For myself, since I take care of the list, I do not accept 9*9 1 sec. I simply kept what Georgi did.

@James: what do you mean with the 3 clicks minimum??
I just wonder how a lower density board can be harder than a higher one

8 total sub80s today, 5 consecutive, best of which was a 74. So the times weren't amazing, but otherwise, just about perfect.

Also, on int, a 19 (3bv=36) and a non-cookie 21 (3bv=59!)

Quite possibly the best 24 hour period I've ever had sweeping, starting from last night's int 18.

Sorry, slight misread... Damien said he counts 9x9 seperately on his site under xp, but the 9x9s never counted for the bestever that detrusor maintains.

I said I got a LEGAL 1, which I thought well implied that I made it on an 8x8 (clone.) I previously had 2 1's on 9x9 grids, which did not count towards my bestever total.

@James: Damien posted earlier saying 9x9 boards are legal, though...was that really Damien...?

Pulled a Hopsing on expert NF with my third NF exp win- 93 on a 179...shoulda been a 91 because I had to search for the last square, but hey, I'm not complaining...

Please remember to send sub30 3bv int boards and sub100 exp boards to me for the UPK contest (link below)...I have only received one e-mail so far... I will choose the boards after I have enough to choose from.

Okay seriously, I know this doesn't count as a 3bv/s record.....

because...

I finally got a legal 1 !!!

1.49 on a 3 3bv. I had to wait through 27 x 2 on 8x8 1 x 2 on 9x9 and two years since my first 2, but finally.... I never have to play beginner again.

Dennis, i thought i can't finish such a lot of games during tourney, but two days ago i finished 10 exp and 10 int games less than 2 hours, best 5 exp were 57x4 and 59, so i easily got better total than Guyla last year. Join us in Budapest

Int best 3bv/s 3.40 --> 3.43 (26.62 on an 88 3bv board)

Well, I'm back sweeping again! still not got much spare time, just managing to find some time to skive in work!

My AR times last period were actually 19-72 but I forgot to post. I've been hitting a few sub-20s, including another 18, and now I've just broken my 5 month old 3bv/s record. I know I can still do better than all this, but until I get the spare time to play alot, I'll just have to make to with keeping my hand in.

Good luck to those going to the tournament.

I decided to try doing what Damien and Roman did and finish 5 games on both int and expert. My first attempt was yesterday where I finished 5 int games with nice times but only two expert games (54 and 62) in about 1 and a half or two hours of playing. Then today I decided to try again and start out with expert since that is where I have the most trouble. This time I succeeded in only 55 minutes (I can't believe this was possible for me!) and got the following results:

Exp: 63, 69, 68, 62 and 57
Int: 19, 19, 19, 16 and 14 (50 3bv)

Total = 406! VERY NICE!

All of this was NF so I guess it is possible to finish many games within a fairly short amount of time. However, I don't think this kind of experiment would turn out this well for me very often - I might finish 5 of each maybe 1 out of 5 or 10 times but not with such nice results!

on a 3bv=51! Holy crap.

I've got five games tonight of 2.9<3bv/s<3 and no sup3s, but somehow I'm managing to avoid complaining.

time to focus on expert and maybe get my best AR ever. 18-73->???

I played on winmine at a friend's house yesterday... she had a touchpad and I couldn't chord for the life of me, so I quickly pulled 8-29-152 NF. I only now realised that the 152 is a record for me on exp NF. Too much Jack Daniels, not enough sleep!

29 wasn't a dreamboard but it was close enough... must've been 30-40 3bv.

yeah, roman...i'm still trying to find my style. i just went and played 5 exp, 5 int (took 42min) then another 5 of each (took 34min).

First set: 61, 64, 59, 65, 56,
21, 22, 24, 22, 22 Total 416

Second set: 22, 19, 18, 18, 15, 61, 53, 59, 64 (a 222 board) and 59. Total 388.

Last year in budapest i had 355, gyula 383 and roman 412....so this is going to be close.

No new records recently... but I've been really **** close several times.

Exp:
2.38 3bv/s, my record is 2.39
Missed 72 LC on exp (would have tied my record - 50/50)
Estimated 71 125/131 (stupid mistake)

Int:
2.89 3bv/s (my record is 2.91)

In addition, I've been getting a lot of times near my top 3bv/s on both levels. I'm hoping for a nice outlier soon (almost got one on int today, estimated 3.19 3bv/s after 83/88)

still booking holiday details...if gero, roman, christoph, the farniks etc are interested, i will be staying at the hotel griff junior again (roman and christoph know where) for the 25th and 26th for sure (not for sure 24th yet). since all rooms have 4 beds, some sharing is likely going to be possible again. as gergely said, you can pretty much walk in and ask for a place as they always have rooms...i think roman arrives first? anyways, we can always talk at the tournament and arrange the next night or two then to save everyone money.


on another note...i bought a new mouse (old one died in septmeber) and have been struggling...nothing good for a week then a 47 and 46 in a 3h patch two days ago...since then i haven't beat 62! i'm all over the map ... hopefully, i can stabilise! luck to everyone.

Ok, Active Ranking is now updated (period 3), and starting now, any submission will be stored for period 4.
The deadline of the period 4 isn't changed: Friday 24th February 2006 20:00 GMT.

I only miss Joachim Jacobsson's intermediate time for period 3. I've put 25 before I get the real value.

Hope you were living well anyway without these holy Active Ranking tables

3x sup3.0 3bv/s tonight

Comments:  

... including 2 consecutive. Unlike Schu, I have no idea how much that brings me to total

also, I blew away my mouse.
i suddenly realised why i finished the night with a 39 on a 70
right mouse button only works intermittently
i must've been up to 8 c/s
it was registering 6.9

so much for attempting to be somewhat efficient (I got a 21 on a 43 at 3.9 clicks/sec) - I just kept ramping up the speed to try to compensate for what I thought was me flagging inaccurately. I played some nonosweeper and then it dawned on me that my right clicks simply *were not going through*.
