Title: Make MPEG Movies?
Post by: bosshoff on 16 Apr 2004, 16:56:38

I was just wondering if there is any way to make MPEG movies in flashpoint.  I want to make some neat chopper scenes.  Thanks.

KK, first D/l fraps. its a free to sue prog that lets U record whats on the screen. But unfortunately it doesnt record sound :/

Then, once youve captured your footage, get a movie editor that can make M-pegs (Unfortunately, the only ones that make MPEGS are commercial, the only ones which are free are things like movie maker 2 which makes .wmv) and then edit it all together. Simple


Or U could msg me on MSn and ill edit it all togethr for you (I have over £620 worth of editing programs)

Fraps 2.0 DOES record sound. Unfortunately, it is no longer Freeware.

If I recall the URL correctly, Fraps is available at fraps.com.

First, buy a Radeon VIVO class 3D card!
Second, connect your TV-out to your TV-in.
Third, connect your audio-out to your audio-in.
Finally, record the video in MPEG.

Not the best solution, but works fine!

You need to run the game at 800x600, or less.. Because FRAPS won't record all the screen >:(
It cuts of a far ammount.. I recorded a bunch of stuff, then noticed half it was missing..
(Same with a lot of my new vice city stuff, all was fine til I got a new graphics card, and move the screen res ingame from 800x600 to 1204x786)

I've not ever tried FRAPs v2..
Looks okay

BTW, there is a demo of it on www.fraps.com
But it only lets you record 30 seconds at a time >:(
Might be enough though?
BTW, you can get EditStudio2 free, and it can export to loads of different formats (MPEG, AVI, WMV, RM)... I got it of a PCPlus or PC Format cover disc, but I guess you can download it (If not, order a back issuse of PC Format/PC Plus :) It was deff one of the two magazines, but I can't remeber what one.. PC Plus is my bet)

Good luck with it :)
