InGame movies..

Post by teKnoise »

What's the best proggy to record/make these?

FRAPs is good but the output files are normally far to big, even witout sound and a lower framerate settings...

Or is there a way to record a normal demo like in the Q3 based games? Then later do a .avi demo command and construct the movie using the TGA files?

The only way to record movies in NFSU2 is in real time. And when recording in real time you unfortunatly cannot have the capture application compress the movie as you record, so the only way is to capture in raw uncompressed avi format.
That means, whichever movie recorder you'll use, it'll always output in avi - that is of course if you want a good framerate.

You know any that incorporate a codec or something, anything to reduce the file size?

Don't know of any and I also beleive they won't work with sufficient framerate. Your best bet is to free a lot of hd space before recording and then compressing the file after you've recorded the movie.

I got a load of free space, just not keen on the file size for sending it to people or uploading it :)
Im gonna look around for a encoder or something later on

You can always try windows movie maker which should already be installed if you have winxp.
