When you take a screenshot in GPL, it is saved in a .pbf format. What can I
use to convert these to either .bmp or .gif format?

You use the pbf2tga program in your GPL directory to convert it to tga
format. That format can be read by most imaging programs and saved as
gif, bmp,jpg or whatever...

He's right.  The easiest way is just go to the GPL directory in Explorer and
drag your saved screenshot .pbf file onto the pbf2tga.exe icon.  Presto, you've
got a converted .tga file!

Is there a way to convert the replay files to .avi files?
Thanks,

The easiest way is to "associate" files with the pbf extension to the
pbf2tga.exe problem.  Then one can simply doubleclick the screenshot
file *.pbf and presto chango, one has a *tga file.

To associcate a file extension to a program, click on View in your
Explorer window -> Options -> File Types

Specify the extension and the open with (pbf2tga.exe).
