gameplay videos!

[ddavid123]

I am fairly new to Tremulous, and I think it is a great game!  I recorded a video from within the game play, and it was saved in /home/user/.tremulous/ base/video.  When I played the video, it seemed to be playing on fast forward!  Why does it do that, and how do I slow it down?

My PC is a HP Pavillion ZE 4935, 256 megs ram, 40 gig HDD, and a Intel i810 video controller!  I know, I should not complain about this with such a crappy PC, but it is the only one I have! 

Thanks for any advice!

You have to get at least 30 FPS in-game during the video recording. Video recording eats up FPS and what you get is a video that runs at the FPS that you got. It's best to make videos out of demos instead, because you can re-record it if you mess up. Just adjust your video card settings to get your FPS back up to 30~ during video recording and you won't have this issue.

or record a demo then record the video by loading the demo like this
/record 123
/stoprecord
/demo 123
/video

Video record in demos *should* play them at sufficiently low timescale to ensure the video is taken at a sensible framerate. I understand, though, that the command is much improved in later SVN clients (like the one I use) and perhaps the functionality doesn't exist in tjw's or stock clients.
