/record problem

[tremvideos]

So for the past I've been using screen recorders, but they go in very low quality. I was wondering if there are any programs to convert .dm_69 files?
Please take note: I'm on a mac.

Thanks!

you can try /video that will create an avi

[Archangel]

Unless you want your viewers watching raw binary net data, no. .dm_69 files are simply packet dumps, AFAIK. You can try starting Trem like so:

Code Select Expand

tremulous +demo XXX +video XXX_video

which will start recording the AVI immediately. Of course you're left with a huge avi to edit.

Please post in the correct section, geez.

thats the problem... /movie brings FPS to a slow crawl- hardly fast enough or good quality to post on youtube.

I thought you were banned!

Anyway...

It does make the FPS drag, but the video should play at normal speed. The only thing being slowed down is the renderer.

set cl_aviFrameRate to something nice, and you're sorted.

Next to make a remark along the lines of "I thought you were banned" will recieve a ban him- or herself.

Might I recommend Video Enhancer 1.9.2? What it does is enhances video playback to a higher resolution, in some circles it works but in others there won't be much of a big difference, but I say try it out at least. I'm not sure if this will even do much because YouTube might turn your video intro crap anyways, but check it out, here is a link to the trail version:

Other obvious tips are record in the highest resolution possible for your PC, but that will impact performance of your renderer while recording. That is all I could think of, cheers.

/set timescale 0.1

Before issuing the /video command. This makes trem run (and play back the demo) at 10% normal speed, and should give your system enough time to encode the video without dropping frames.

"Raw Binary Net Data"? That sounds good ;-) how would I do that?

Hex editor

Hex editor

say what?

[Taiyo.uk]

An editor that represents binary files as a series of hexadecimal values.

Example

Example

Wahh, all those texts and colors...hurts my eyes....

Isn't it uber difficult to use a hex editor? Or is it easier then it looks?

[Syntac]

It's easier than it looks, but it's really boring.

Unless you can read hex, don't use a hex editor (should go without saying).

Not to mention the demo stuff is bit-packed and huffman encoded
