tortuosit 485 Posted October 1, 2012 OK BI, this is in the config file. How can I record things then? :) :) <videorecorder codec="xvid" halfsize="1" config="1" framerate="30" /> Michael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kraxous 1 Posted October 1, 2012 If I'm right, (correct me if wrong), you have to have a programme such as FRAPS that binds with the XviD codec from the game so it makes it easier and compresses into an .avi - most games do not contain a video codec that allows smooth recording. And by the: framerate="30" /> I'm guessing you can record at 30 FPS and it will be nice and smooth.A question from me though: Recording fullscreen with camtasia. How can I do it with this game?

evilc1 10 Posted October 1, 2012 "that binds with the xvid codec from the game". Woah, hold on there buddy - codec? game? A game does not use a codec to display video information. CoDec stands for CompressionDecompression - A codec specifies a compression method. What goes on on the screen is uncompressed. A game cannot use a codec to display video - it could take a video encoded with a codec (such as xvid), decompress it and display the frames (ie a video cutscene) but it cannot output to the screen using a codec. When you run software such as FRAPS, it grabs the raw data from the framebuffer (memory) and runs it through a codec to generate a compressed file. There would be no reason to have settings such as this in a config file unless the game feature(s/d) video capture. It is quite possible that it is just something they had for development (To record testing runs) but removed for release. Removal could be due to licensing issues.

Serpentras 10 Posted October 1, 2012 Yo guys press f6 and tab out and in and guess what ? You can change video compression,you can choose between 8 formats and compression rate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was just a theory I had in mind that IF you do run something such as FRAPS, the codec embedded somewhere in the game binds with FRAPS. You never know, BIS is full of surprises. But I don't know. T'was just a theory :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not even something that works for me - CTD every single time I choose a codec. Bluescreens on MP4 selection. Interestingly - my Razer video capture works great - even though it looks crap. Any correlation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dram 14 Posted October 2, 2012 There is a video recording function for asynchronous grabbing of video from the game, meaning it goes frame by frame, not real-time, and captures the data. We used this in the development process for certain video cutscenes, though I am unsure whether the functionality works in the release version. Something to consider for the modding tools.

Serpentras 10 Posted October 2, 2012 I try that but I only get video files who are empty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
