how did yoy make it into an avi?

the /video makes mpeg (i think) that can be played by everything in existence.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

/video makes a motion jpeg with slightly messed up headers (fixed in svn) that can't be played by half the things that should be able to play it.

VLC plays it well and can be used to convert it into many other video formats.
Code: [Select]
Linux: ~/.tremulous/base/
Mac: ~/Library/Application\ Support/Tremulous/base/
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Tremulous\base\

david and kevlarman dont post unless you know what yoiu are talking about. /video produces it to an .avi not a motion jpg. I will try VLC, however i would prefer the codecs so i can use my normal video conversion tools

follow your own advice. /video does in fact produce motion jpeg in the stock tremulous client.

so that greatfrie 2 kevlarman 0 on the right scale. If indeed the standard termuluos records mjpg, which i highly doubt, then i have a modified one some how that uses avis with some codec, m-jpg is NOT a codec for avi, i repeat my last statement of if your going to reply, you need to know what your talking about. .f0rqu3 is right about m-jpgs btw

An AVI file may therefore carry audio/visual data inside the chunks in virtually any compression scheme, including Full Frame (Uncompressed), Intel Real Time (Indeo), Cinepak, Motion JPEG, Editable MPEG, VDOWave, ClearVideo / RealVideo, QPEG, MPEG-4 Video, et al.

Also, search for cl_aviMotionJpeg.

Are you fucking stupid? Motion JPEG is a video codec that can be used in avi files.

.f0rqu3 is only kidding. You're agreeing with a clown.
