Guys, especially Gero.

BINGO!

I have the 15s video ( 15.68 ). Cheesy
But i need some edition tips because it has 12:06 minutes and 8Mb size.

I also would like to know if it is possible to eliminate the annoying green flash of the recording area. Angry

P.S- I still don't like recording. Tongue

YEAH!!!! NICE!!!  Cheesy

Ok, how to cut everything away, you don't need:

Open Camtaisa Studio. Import your vid. It appears under Clip Bin. Right click on it and choose "Add to timeline". The vid appears in the timeline below. You can mark parts of the vid. Mark those parts, you don't like to be seen in your vid. If you marked a part, go on Edit -> Cut Selcetion. The marked part is now cut away. You can do this cutting away as often as you want. If everything is cut away, what you wanted to, click on File -> Produce Video As. Produce a .avi. Click on Next, until you have to choose the name for the vid and the path for saving it (5x "Next" Smiley). Then produce the vid.
That's all. The new vid should be a bit smaller. Wink

One more thing: The first second of the vid should not show the board you finished in 15s immediately. So it should show the board before. So we are able to see, how you started when the board, you finished in 15s, suddenly appears.

Hope, you use Camtaisa, otherwise my information are perhaps useless.

To eliminate the green flash of the recording area open Camtaisa Recorder. Click on Tools -> Options. Choose the topic Capture. Then activate Hide capture rectangle. This should eliminate the green flash.

Happy Sweeping all.

I was very lucky today Grin, because my intention was to perform some testing to get used to camtasia. When all of a sudden,15.68.  Shocked
I'm also glad that it fits exactly the described strategy posted in the forum. Wink

Thanks Hexx, and thank you very much for further explanation of your strategy. I've managed coming down from really bad 42s to 20.01s non-flagging. So lets see what training brings. Until then. Regards, Roli. Smiley

Hi, Stephan, this post is for you.

Somethings called my attention when i visited your website last weekend.

1) You know exactly how many times you managed a certain score in a certain level. Obviously, you must be using some "management" software.
Tell me more about it?

2) Do you have any software that counts button mouse clicking?

3) What application do you use to convert screenshots in PNG format?

4) Do you have the video of your 19s? and any idea how many left clicks you needed to solve your 19s game??

Oh, what a honour, a post only for me Smiley

1) My "management" is to save a screenshot of every game I finished (only sub-5 in beg and sub-31 in int, all games in exp and gen). So, it's easy to keep track of the times.

2) Not for nonosweeper. There is such a software for minesweeper.

3) I already save them as PNG, as, in my eyes, it's the best format. I use Microsoft Photo Editor, a tool included in the MS Office package, but several freeware (e.g. IrfanView) allows to save a picture in PNG format as well.

4) Unfortunately, I don't have a video. I haven't recorded for several weeks. But it's a good hint. Maybe I should try to do some low 20 with my new nf strategy [nf=non-flagging, a well-known minesweeping abbreviation].
It must have been about 20-22 left clicks. I remember, that due to the 1-1-6 pattern in the rightmost column, I could solve the 1 row and the 3 row with only one click each. The rest was mostly solved click by click.

Guys,

I must admit that my Intermediate strategy posted a few days ago was very incomplete and a little bit confusing.  Undecided
So, i updated it with all tricks and tips i know, added a few more screeshots plus the 15.68 video and a downloadable strategy Word version. Roll Eyes

Check out again if you please.

Hmmm, since a lot of records got deleted from this page today and Yariv says, it'd be hard for him to enter the database himself, I reuploaded a 15s with version 1.32 and cheatexacttimeclicking. Just in case somebody wonders about the date (00-00-0000) Wink

YES, three of my important scores disappeared this morning:
intermediate 15, 15
T2 30,47 (I uploaded them after 23.00 o'clock, european time)

this morning I saw the T page and the point table page: I won the T

but after 5 min when I refreshed the page this changed.
I have screenshots and one 15 link (it was my real record 15,40)

someone of you guys saw my scores yesterday night or today morning?

Yes, I've seen all your 15s. Didn't see your tournament time of course, but I have no doubt it existed. Today I made a 15.08. A pity, 1s faster would have been nice.  Wink

My last 15 was 15.16. If anyone wants the vid, just mail me. I hope I get a 14 before my 5th 15. Otherwise it'll be so hard to continue... Undecided
