Gonzo01 Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) 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: Edited January 24, 2011 by Gonzo01
TwoLate Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Yes I would like to know this too. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
winz Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 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. 2 The Valley A-10C Version Revanche for FC 3

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?

sungsam Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 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. 1 DCS F16C 52+ w JHMCS ! DCS AH64D Longbow !

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