Is there a way to change the replay (demo) format into something like .avi ?

Use something like Fraps. Or just rename the extention to avi, but don't expect it to work.

You'd have to re-cam it and do some fancy editing in keygrip2, but that's another story all together.

Now, I just gotta figure out how to make them smaller...  in fielsize and in screen size.  Got a 7:33 movie, but it's 2.93GB!!

I think fraps creates uncompressed avis, that's why the files are so big.

You can render it smaller, reduce the fps to about 15, and just compress it obviously.

This isn't a how-to, but it should provide a little insight on the encoding and compression subject.

That forum is a great place for any fps movie maker.

Thx for the link Xtreme.  I figured out how to get it done in virtual dub...  my avi went from 2.93GB to 134MB for a 7:33 demo of a match.  went pretty quick too.

Well, I frapped it then ran it thru virtual dub to shrink the MEGA avi fraps recorded.  Not too bad either cause 7:33  of video at pretty good FPS looks good even at 134MB.  I am going to record a few more then burn em off to vcd.
