Converting demos to video files

[Unconscious_Forever]

How do you change the demo files (.LMP) to a video file? (Eg: Avi ,Ect) Because i want to make a doom music video but i need to change the file types! HELP!

[exl]

LMP files contain no video\audio data. The only way to get that is to use a program like Fraps (Google it) to cpature every frame of the demo and save it to a file, and later merge the individual image files inot one .AVI or .MPG file with another program (TMPGEnc or probably some other better program).

Ok thanks mate!

[deathbringer]

and it will have no sound

[Unconscious_Forever]

Um is there any with less limitations?

[Mordeth]

Current version of FRAPS has sound, too. Shareware version is limited though... but I don't know to what extent.

I have a source port written by Dashiva that can output Doom/Doom2 demos to video files... I haven't used it myself but apparently some other people who I've recommended it to have liked it, so, look and see:

LMPtoss (554k)

Should come with a txt file.

Heh, LMPtoss seems to work.

Now, what's a good program to compress an AVI file?

[Bloodshedder]

Well, you'll need a suitable codec that you want to use, but VirtualDub can do the compressing.

that works fine, but can u set it so it doesn't record you starting up the game, or shall i just delete these frames?

Deleting them will do.
