Is is possible when generating an AVI files from a track inside the Mission Edititor to redirect where it saves the output file? Currently, it places the file inside the movie directory. Reason for asking is that an A-10C track in AVI uncompressed format can get to over 200 GBytes in size depending on the length of the track.:doh:

Never used the AVI tool myself, so don't know really how it works. But one solution would be creating a symbolic link (something similiar as shortcut, but on filesystem level, a file, or directory, appears to be on two places at once).

 

1)Move the movie directory where you want the files to be placed. (Make sure it's deleted where it originaly were)

2)open command prompt (start->run->cmd.exe)

3)type in

mklink /d "original place" "new place"

i.e

mklink /d "j:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Movies" "c:\Temp\Movies\"

 

everything written to the original place will be automatically redirected to the new location.

  1. IIRC, the movie directory location can be specified in the same config file where you specify the extension, name, quality and location for screenshots
  2. PNG sequence converted to Lagarith lossless video format is a better solution (lower file size) - see RECORD AVI - a Mission Editor tool - A procedure to get >perfect< videos out of DCS/FC 2.0
  3. according to my sources ED is working on implementing direct Lagarith output for the tool iteration in DCS A-10C Warthog (no promisses as always)
     
     

everything written to the original place will be automatically redirected to the new location.

Files will be created in the old location and moved to the new location or already created in the new location. Could you please confirm?

They will be created/written in the redirected location. Althow they will be shown/listed in the original and redirected location, actual data will be in the redirected location.

What about space indication? They will not count to occupied disk space in the old location?

Thanks. Sorry for derailing the topic. I hope the topic starter will consider the info I provided enough to make up for it ;)

 

No derailing at all, you asked questions i would have. Thanks for your help.
