Hi Does anyone have a working link for a utility that converts GPL replay files to other video formats? Many Thanks Glenn

You can't convert them directly to movie files because they don't contain any graphic data. They just say where the car is at any given time and additional stuff like that. As the other poster said, you need GPL2avi or moviestudio XP.

I've been there, but I want a Demo to try before laying out cash for this thing. Aren't most of these just screen frame grabbers? They don't actually convert the replay, right? -Larry "Biz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:qDMBb.430255$[email hidden]...

MovieStudio XP is free is you bothered to read......... Nothing will just convert replays, they have to be captured while the replay is playing. Those replays are just data that the game interprets and shows visually. There is no other way to create videos from your GPL replays "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:M23Cb.591$hf1.297@lakeread06...

The replays have no graphical data in them at all. The only way you can get a movie from them is to play it through GPL and use a frame grabber to extract the output to an avi file. Or film it off the TV with a camera. Or maybe get an expensive video convertor card to grab in realtime.

Free? I sure didn't see it available as free. I'll take another look. -Larry "Biz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8i3Cb.180274$[email hidden]... > MovieStudio XP is free is you bothered to read......... > Nothing will just convert replays, they have to be captured while thereplay > is playing.

Here's the funny thing... The Macintosh version of Nascar Racing has the ability to convert replays into QuickTime movies, right in the game itself. -Larry "Kevin Clark" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Downloading it now. And as for your "If you bothered to read" smartass comment, well, look at that site. Every indication is you have to PAY for it until you get to the actual 'store', where it is marked as free.
