Seems like you guys are really taking to the
moviemaking aspect of the game. So, I thought
it a good idea to post some links to some
excellent tutorials that you can study so you
can elevate your filmaking game, so to speak. Wink

When I use the AH editor, and save to AVI, it asks for what type of video compression. Full frame, Microsoft, Cinepak, Intel...

For right now I saved as full frame, however, what is the best compression to use?

I dunno.
I gave up on the Film Viewer awhile ago
but Tarstar is familiar with it. Maybe
he can answer this?

Well, I tried all sorts of compressions and none of them seem to record properly. Guess it's my vid card.

I get 0 bytes on 3 of the other compressions. However, when recording full video uncompressed, it saved it as 1 gig. And still unplayable.

I downloaded fraps and the video record hotkey don't seem to record. Just bounces from Yellow, to White "1", then back to yellow...

I'm really not sure on the AVI thing.. I use fraps to record clips I put together in the film viewer.. Then assemble those in WMM or sony.. The tutorials here can help you with that.. Keep experimenting.. The forums are also a great resource for movie making help and a lot of people are willing to give input.. Good luck Gldn..
