Aeroscout Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 The best way is to use FRAPS, but if you're cheep (like me) than the ingame recorder is good. (a good version of FRAPS costs $37) First, record a track, edit it's camera angles and what not. Then, go to "Flight-Record AVI" Chose your quality and FPS, resolution and all that stuff. The most important thing is the codec. I use The Xvid MPEG-4 codec. This is fine if you keeping it a stand alone thing, but if it's going to be used in a movie, you need to convert it. If you do use the Xvid codec, than make sure when you recording the movie, the lock on window is on top, not the recording info window. If the info window is on tip, that corner will be in your film. put the lock on window on top by clicking it. Find your vid in the movies folder of the lock on folder. Hope this helps DCS Wishlist: 1) FIX THE DAMN RIVERS!!! 2) Spherical or cylindrical panorama view projection. 3) Enhanced input options (action upon button release, etc). 4) Aircraft flight parameter dump upon exit (stick posn, attitude, rates, accel, control volume, control-surface positions, SAS bias, etc). 5) ADS-33 maneuver courses as static objects. 6) Exposed API or exports of trim position and stick force for custom controllers. 7) Select auto multiple audio devices
Ironhand Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 How do you record track files? Open the mission in the Mission Editor. Select 'Record Track' from the FLIGHT dropdown menu. Or you can simply start the mission by pressing CTRL-R. When you are done, quit the mission as you normally would. You will then drop down to a screen allowing you to name and save the track recording. Once you do that, you will drop into the usual Debrief screen. How do you convert them to AVI? I'd like to expiriment with this a bit. Thank you. Aeroscout has pretty much covered this. Just be warned that the in-sim AVI converter can only handle a track that is 3 (??) minutes long. It also takes an extremely long time. I use FRAPS myself (payware).

Sytse Posted July 14, 2007 Author Posted July 14, 2007 Thankyou very much for the great help. :) So, when using the in-game recorder, it's best to record a single shot at a time and keep it under 3 minutes? That sounds like heaps of work. Can you also use the in-game recorder to record the missions when you fly them and then use FRAPS to get the shots while you replay the track file? I think that's the most logical thing to do, but I don't know if it's possible... Thanks again! :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Red Arrows homepage
