Demos???

[Streamline]

Anybody know if there is a "demo record" feature? :love:

[WNxUndeadFenix]

oooh like there was in tribes 2? that features sick. if they dont have it they should add it. i always recorded flipping MPBs off tall buildings in tribes 2

[mistled]

I think sj said that it wasn't currently in the game, but that it wouldn't be hard to add and that they probably would at some point (hopefully before release and not later :))

[Streamline]

It really should be in the game from birth. How else do we record our conquests and make movies out of 'em. :blowup: :thumbsup:

No, there isn't.

And it is easy enough to do movies without these features.

Would be cool to have a "demo" recorder tho... recording as you assault a base or something =)

[Hawklans]

If there isnt going to be an ingame recorder what software does everyone use?

Can anyone recommend some?

[Miir]

Forget software capturing.

Hardware is the way! :D

What do you use, Miir?

I asked this before. Yes there is a demo recording feature, but it wont be with release. It will be added becuase its basically free advertising for PS. Who doesnt want free advertising.

Oh, and for obvious reasons it wont be in beta. Just before anyone asks lol.

:father:

I've done up some " how to" pages on MALVISION. But basically here is a quick summary:

Step 1. Use the video out on your video card to send a signal to a VCR
Step 2. Record footage
Step 3. Use a video capture/TV tuner card to get it back into the computer for editing.
Step 4. Edit your movie.

If your unlucky enough not to have a video out on your card you can get a device called a video splitter. It basically splits the signal from your monitor and allows you to output a video signal to a VCR.

Would a card with tv in/out work? Like a Ti4600?

Yeah, the quality out though is so-so, definitely not the best card for it, but it will work, especially if you are doing a smaller resolution which most do.

I never use software capturing. It takes too much of your computer when you are trying to frag. Also, it never is as good as hardware capturing, which is easier anyhow. Recording a game on tape is much easier, because you can store SO much more, with such cheap media.

For the editting part, Adobe is what I use. Fairly easy to once you get the hang of it, and fairly powerful.

I use a GF4 Ti4600 with video out to output the video signal and have been pretty happy with the quality.

Omni which card do you recommend for higher quality? Do you have any samples? I'm always looking for ways to improve quality.

I use to use two computers and did everything digitally. If you have the money to sink into one computer JUST for recording, it is definitely worth it.

My TV-Out card preference is the ATI All in Wonder series. The cards are can be problematic, but overall the TV-Out quality is superior then compared to any NVidia card.

I personally have never been a HUGE fan of the TV Out on the back of the GeForces, thinking they are pretty sub-par for the card it represents.

Anything though that you can do a direct digital connect to and from though, will generally have a much better quality. It varies from card to card, and brand to brand, which cards can do it well.

Can't wait to see some of Miir's movies:clap:

It's hard to show the highest quality because of the file sizes and some of the quality is lost in internet media compression.

But... here is a 2 sec high rez clip from a GF4 ti4600 (4.0MB)

Omni...If you have a high rez clip from the ATI All in Wonder I'd love to see it for a comparision.

Thanks man.

Unfortunately all my gear was not personal equipment :(

Can't get you any demos. Sorry bud.
