umm, if you explain exactly whats wrong I could help you. if your using the movie cfg then press F11 to start and F12 to stop recording.

ok sorry. I am using the movie.cfg, i type that in console, and then load my demo etc. i go to the part i want to record with demoui, then i press F11 to start recording and F12 to stop. but nothing works, its just like if im pressing random buttons that don't do anything. So what i want to know is how can i solve this. Or if there is another way to record.

you're sure the config was loaded properly?

yes, I re-loaded it a couple of times too. To make sure it was loaded properly.

well the binds do not work if the demoui is open. So what u have to do is press resume 5 secs before when you want to record close demoui and press F11 twice some times the first press does not work but the second does. If it is not that then make sure u disabled your autoexec by renaming it that way the binds will not clash with each other.

what I do is look for the part I plan to record, set the speed to 0 %, resume, close the demoui, then press left arrow to playback at 30 fps and F11 to record. It's pretty comfortable ^^
Also remember to record a bit before the frag happens, and a bit later, so you avoid any problem when the editing comes... otherwise you might want to do a transition or whatever and you don't have enough footage recorded in one of the clips =/

Alright thx i will try that. one more thing though, do you have to run hl2dm in a window to record? or can you just run it normally in full screen..

0nti

2008-06-23 01:40:58

both work the same.
windowed is more comfortable IMO though.

hahaha..
I already helped him a bit through steam ... ask whatever else you need

Briggs

The .wav file should be named a or b,c depending on however many times you recorded. the wav file should be in the same spot as you found the .tga's and it should fit the sound with the vid @ whatever you set your fps to compress at.

oh and btw... please try making the vid at 40-60 fps... 30 looks so bad imo... if your comp cant handle or its to much of a hassle I understand.
