Guest Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I know this is a bit off subject, but you know how Gta 3 and VC for PC have replay option when F1 is pressed, well does that mean that I can somehow save that replay? I'm trying to make a VC movie with my friends and connecting my PS2 to my computer and capturing the video with Power VCR II works, but I'm not really satisfied with the quality. I changed the setting to MPEG-2, with 10,000 bit rate, 29.970 fps, the best setting the program can take, but when I play it full screen, the graphics suck. I tried Movie Maker and it still didn't do any good even though I changed the fps to 59.970 fps(not that the fps change the resolution). I see it as saving the replay from the game directly would be the best option with the best resolution(if possible). By the way, my computer sepcs are: Medion PC Pentium 4 2.81 GHz 512 MB RAM 120 GB ROM 64 MB GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X graphics card Link to comment
me Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 30 fps? 60(!)? lower that down just a wee bit... try 20, or even less. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 How would reducing the frames per second increase my resolution? Link to comment
Warlord Archon Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Buy GTA for PC, otherwise all you will get is crap. Unless you want to spend some money. Link to comment
me Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 lowering your FPS won't increase your resolution, but it will help make things look better, and clearer, because the computer doesn't have to work so hard wait a tic... OMG. Lower the bits per second setting!!!!!! that is an incredibly, incredibly high setting... I mean, 1400 kilobits per second is a little above average... Link to comment
Guest Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thanx guys, I appreciate the help and hope this will help out. Link to comment
Guest Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Buy GTA for PC, otherwise all you will get is crap. Unless you want to spend some money. WAIT A SECOND!!! Nobody has officially answered my question, if I buy GTA: VICE CITY, can I save the REPLAYS?!?!?!?!? What's the point if I can't? Link to comment
xerox Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 you can save one replay by pressing f2 during a replay to save it, otherwse copy the replay.rep file thats in your vc user files dir (located in my documents for some reason) and use that, as it only holds one replay =) Link to comment
Warlord Archon Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Better yet, get FRAPS. Its a good video capture software and its free!!! Google to find the site i'm too lazy to post it. Link to comment
Guest Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 What format is that replay video saved in, is it an avi or an mpeg or what??? Thanks Link to comment
me Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 it's not a video file... it's a file that tells VC exactly where everything is at every moment you won't be able to view it with a video player Link to comment
xerox Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 you can however view it in gta, just replace the current replay.rep with the one you have saved elsewhere. Link to comment
Guest Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 oh ok i get ya, well that just sucks, i think ill stick to using fraps Link to comment
Evil Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Ive made a few videos with windows media encoder works great but it can be harsh on come systems so your better off getting a second pc to use video out and one that can take in:) Link to comment
Guest Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 why use two computers, mine are coming out fine... Im just recording what i want using fraps the encoding it using the latest divx codec, its small and real good quality. Link to comment
Evil Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 why use two computers Encoder can use over 1gig ram when your inside game so you realy need a gaming system in order to get screen/audio capture. i guess its not worth using if you found something that works ive allways liked encoder just for the reason that you can make videos that are dvd quality + its great for streaming those videos Link to comment
Guest Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 yeah but u dont encode while in the game, use fraps to capture while playing then encode after you finished playing..... Link to comment
Evil Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 does it record sound? none of my replays have any sound Link to comment
Evil Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 my first fraps vid http://daemonsden.no-ip.com/downloads/bike.zip Link to comment
Guest Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 no fraps doesnt record sound, apparently there is a new 2.0 version coming out which will though, if u want sound u have to use another program to capture that as well and then join the two files. Link to comment
samdaman Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 My problem with this is, I saved the replay in game so i could do the fraps thing later but when i play it back it only captured about erm 5 seconds ?... and it was a real nice long string of 15 motorbike stunts together so this is really disappointing coz it took me ages to pull them all of smoothly without crashing, is there a way to record more than a few seconds with the in game replay save?

Kent747 Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 replaying replays inside of MTA will destroy your sync... don't do it. Link to comment
