Has anyone used GPL2Avi enough to help me with my problem? When I record
replays, as soon as I press F4, the replay becomes very choppy. Has anyone
else experienced this? What can I do to fix this? Also, does someone know of
an Optimal setting between Video Formats, sizes, refresh rates, and compressor
(I really don't understand this last setting).
Thank you for your help.

I believe it is slowing down the game in otder to capture the replay without
skipping frames.

It did that for me and then when I watched the captured replay, it was real
time

That's normal. It's doing that to actually grab the movie. Have you
watched the avi it's made? It should look fine.
You can also press F8 to stop capture, change camera views and start the
capture again where it left off.
I grab at around 400x240, 27fps and DivX4 fast motion compression. If
you dont compress, you'll get about 100Mb for 10secs. With compression
you can grab 1minute of footage for about 15Mb.

I've made a couple of movies. http://www.btinternet.com/~kevin.clark8/index.htm
