Has anyone tried to change the replay files in NASCAR into AVI files do they
can be run in Windows?  I think this would be great.  I hate to have to run
NASCAR and the specific track just to watch a saved replay.  This would be
an interesting program.

The replay files contain only track positions for each of the cars; they don't
contain any graphics.  (they also contain positions for things like smoke and
dust too)

It's unlikely that this could be done, because (at least from my
experience in Indycar Racing I) the saved data is vector data, not
bitmaps. This means that saved data just records the position on the
track and direction of travel and speed, and then the game recreates
the cars based on this indirect data.

If they had to create an AVI converter for it, you'd pretty much have
an entire product on its own. The converter would have to be able to
create the cars by itself. Plus, I can only imagine how big an AVI
replay file would get, probably wouldn't fit onto your disk, no matter
how many gigabytes you have.

Just an idea.  get a TV card and record the replay to your VCR.  That
should be possible..

1. Convert replay files to .AVI files???

2. Create avi file from GPL replay ?

3. file:///C|/Program Files/Accessories/HyperTerminal/Ford-sb.txt

4. TEST DRIVE 3 -- Scenery Files, Car Files

5. bad file open - file missing?

6. WHERE CAN I GET AN UNPACK PROGRAM TO UNPACK MY SOUND .DAT FILES INTO .WAV FILES???

7. N99 Wav Files To N3 Wav Files

8. File layout of N3 .CAR files

9. Extracting a PCX file from CAR file???
