.dem to .mpeg ?

  • Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!

Here's a copy + paste of what Ace posted on the PuF forums

1) Go to: http://www.techsmith.com/products/camtasia/camtasia.asp and
download Camtasia. This is a screen capture program that wil record
everything in a window to an AVI. Install it and read the brief pop up help
window for how to operate it (it's pretty easy).

2) In the "capture" menu, set the capture type to "window".

3) Go into the Options\Preferences\AVI screen and uncheck "Auto Configure"
and set the frames/sec to 15 (or so). Go into the Video Setup and select
your favorite video codec to encode with. I recommend the "Microsoft MPEG-4
Video Codec V2".

4) Start UT and hit ALT+ENTER to shrink it to a window.

5) Go into the video options for UT and set the resolution to 320X240.

6) Hit the record button in Camtasia once and it will alow you to select
which window to record. Click on the UT window.

7) Hit the '~' key to bring up the UT console and type "demoplay <name of
demo file>". Hit the '~' key again to close the console.

8) Hit ATL+TAB to switch the focus to any window other than the UT window.
This is important because, even though you can't see it now, the windows
pointer is in the middle of the UT window. If you skip this step, the
pointer will show up in the final AVI file.

9) Hit the record button in Camtasia again to begin recording.

10) When the demo is finished, hit the stop button in Camtasia. It will
prompt you for a name and location to save the AVI and then automatically
play it back for you.

If you want to further edit the AVI, Camtasia has a very basic editor also.
If you really want to do some editing (like croping, time compression,
etc.), use VirtualDub. You can pick that up at
http://www.geocities.com/virtualdub/ .
 
unless you have some serious hardware and software
your looking at a max capture of 12 fps at a tiny res tbh

camtasia does the job but not very well.
