Hi I have a question... How do you upload your tracks or replays to your computer in a video format and then upload them to youtube.com

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Thanks

I dont think you can , since theyre not video files.

 

IIRC they're just missions , but with all the controls you used "saved" and it just recreates it.

 

I could be wrong and i'm sure someone who knows alot more about it will reply aswell :)

 

edit : You could replay the replay and record it with a program like fraps. But it will take time obviously (as long as the mission originally took)

I noticed that there are a lot of DCS missions on Youtube that people created. Not only the track itself but the entire scene even with a crash respawn

I'm lost on this one..

Thanks for your reply

The "track" file is used as a replay file within DCS. Another program like "FRAPS" would then be used to recorded the whole flight or just the parts you wanted to record. The recorded file would then be uploaded to YouTube. FRAPS could also be used real time while in the game. http://www.fraps.com/

"MSI afterburner" might do the trick

"Camstudio"

DCS has it's own video converter too. You can replay the track in the mission editor and set the framerate along with other options. This is how people usually make the nicer videos with a constant frame rate. I wouldn't recommend fraps unless you have a beast of a rig since fraps usually slows it down and it generates very large files. I uploaded a screencap on how to do it.

That sounds very interesting. I've never made any DCS videos, but that guide looks very good.

 

But why didn't you just link to it?

 

Anyways, here it is:

 

A procedure to get >perfect< videos out of DCS/FC 2.0 (WIP)

 

And that's the thread it belongs to: RECORD AVI - a Mission Editor tool

That's an awful lot of steps, lol, i havent used the Exporter in a while, but Exporting to a PNG Image sequence then importing the Sequence to VDub, then this then that.

 

How about just exporting as HuffyUV Lossless AVI Codec, Open in whatever, edit, and compress to H.264.

I sometimes spend half an hour writing a post that no one seems to notice, and now I get rep for posting the result of a search that took like 1 minute? :music_whistling:

 

Well, I'll take it anyways, thanks. :D
