I've been asking for this for YEARS! Oddly, the Mac version of Nascar Racing years ago had the ability to save replays as quicktime movies. You'd think it would be the #1 way of advertising for Sierra... -Larry "David" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JiOXa.1294663$[email hidden]... > What's a good (cheap.. free??) prog. to capture or convert the replay's? > >
Personally, I don't think either one of these works worth a damn. They are simply frame capture programs. They don't actually convert the Replay to AVI. JMHO -Larry "Mika Takala" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bcQXa.5054$[email hidden]...

Saw a few AVI replays done from LFS over at the LFS forum. They were pretty nice. Not sure what they used, though you might ask there. Alanb
Dave search this group from google, gets asked a lot, not long ago even... I dl'd the movie studio XP and it is a screen grabbing really worked good. but no sound. (to get sound you got to do 2 more steps after you catch clips...

I have a second computer with a video capture card, and I run the TV Out port on my game machine's video card to the video in on the capture machine's capture card. Launch up some video capture software on the capture box, and when you play your game it should come up on the capture system if you enable TV out on your game system. You asked for "cheap/free" wich this isn't really, but its pretty cheap if you have most of the hardware already. You can probably find decent capture cards for $50 or so, and most new video cards come with Video Out built in. I never tried having a capture card connected to the video card output of the same machine its in, but it might work. Would be a nice solution if you don't have a spare machine. -- Josh Boudreau

That's actually the point Larry. There is no conversion program out there and screen capture is how it has been done forever and a day. Takes a long time, a stout computer, and a lot of patience.

That's a good idea. I don't have a capture card, but I could use a spare VCR I have. Would get Audio too! Now, how to get the video back into the computer :( I wish I would have spent $100 more on my Mini-DV camcorder and got one with analog record capabilities... What we could use is software that captures the video output before it's shifted to analog and 'records' it to a avi file. Kind of like those programs that let you capture RealPlayer streams internally and save them as WAV files. -Larry "Josh Boudreau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
