90SK Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 When a demo is recorded in JA, its saved as a .dm_26 file. What program is used to open such a file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 It's run by the JKA game. Something like /playdemo demofilename. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90SK Posted January 3, 2005 Author Share Posted January 3, 2005 Thank you. However, I notice that people release "movies" that are JA recorded. How do I (if at all) convert .dm_26 files to .wmv/ .avi files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorace Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Uh, I know there's ways to do that. I just don't know very much about them. Hopefully someone else can answer that soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pahricida Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 2 ways wich make sense: You go into COnsole and type: /cl_avidemo x whereas the x defines the frames taken per second. now do: /g_Synchronousclients 1 and /record blabla Your base/screenshots folder gets now filled up with single shots of the ingame action you can compile into a movie later on with a video converter such as VirtualDub or TMPGEnc. Now if you set the cl_avidemo to a high value, lets say like 25 you'll get MANY pics in your screenshots folder and in a resolution of 1024x768 they will take away much space so I recommend to use a lower value (between 10 and 15) The other method would be to use a Realtime Video capturing tool like FRAPS (http://www.fraps.com/) They offer a Trial version with limitations though. This tool just records your ingame stuff into an .avi format (can also become very huge though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
