I'm trying to make some movies from a replay of a race in GPL. Whenever I try to do this with GPL Movie Studio it says that it can't open test0000.pbf and never gets past that. I've followed the limited help provided with the prog and am fairly certain I'm doing everything properly. Anyone familier with this bit of software? Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks in advance Steve-S

You'll have to use Hypersnap to capture the screenshots and use a program to make the movie from those shots. -- Mika Takala [email hidden] Please remove the invalid parts from my email address if replying by email. >

Yes but wait - I'm quite positive there's another movie maker for GPL which does work in d3d mode - I'll ask around and mail the url here if I can find it. Andre

I posted this a few days ago : Even better than that, the rpy2avi program found here : http://www.racesim.net/pagpers/balzus/index.htm Will create a movie directly from a replay. Essentially you run it, setup the params, click a button to launch GPL then whilst viewing a replay you press various Function keys to record/stop/alter record speed (i.e. slomo). Takes a bit of time but results are very good. Maxx
