<div class="IPBDescription">I need some help! :)</div>hello i was wondering how you guys made the video of the bite.avi ? i was wondering how you guys convert the files into that format because in counter strike when you record a demo in CS it saves it in a diffrent file. How did you guys make the weird file into a .avi ?


thanks alot

    There's a program called mkmovie which converts demo files into bmp files. This will take up a LOT of space so don't try it with big movies.

    You can then use a normal video editing program t put them back together.

    There's a tutorial on <a href="http://www.csmovies.net/" target="_blank">CSMovies</a> i think. But don't try to do anything like the militia project. According to an interview the guy has the output for his moniter go to a video camera and then pipes it back using a video capture card or something like that.

    It's a big pain to make movies from HL (or any other game for that matter).  To get a smooth framerate and sound, you really need some equipment.  We used a camcorder, a PAR card (a high-end AV card that can playback video quickly and can store it efficiently) and Adobe Premiere to make that video.  I tried creating it using all the various HL console commands and all the utilities sprinkled around the net, but none yielded acceptable results.

    I think your best bet is to find someone with a camcorder and a way to edit the footage.  Good luck.

    <b>Note</b>: The camcorder is used to record the footage directly via audio/video in, not by pointing the camera at your monitor.
