record avi...where is the sound saved?

Hi

After recording an AVI using the in game renderer where does lockon save the renderedound file?

I cant find it, anyone know??

Thanks

It mixes it w/the AVI clip. In your sound card software you need to choose the option "What you hear" for recording AVI's. At least that's what you do w/Audigy2 software.

best using a program called fraps ...for avi recording

this is a clip using fraps

then compressed

Fraps can't record high quality visuals w/good frames in LOMAC...........yet.

hay just pointing the guy to a great little program,

i have used the in game avi converter and imo its no use..

LOC and I use it for our movies, as do quite a few others. It works great.

right now I am rendering a movie at 20 fps . it is rendering 30 min worth track and so far 2 hrs have passed. it renders avi very slowly but the quality is worth it.

the best feature I want is to be able to selectively render a part of the track. like 10 min to 12 min timeframe of the track.

I know why he's written this though - I've tried all the options on the record avi screen for sound & mostly got no sound track at all - one option (can't remember which ) gives a sound track but it's broken & crackly ...

Hi

Yea i have used fraps, but the in game avi renderer gives much better quality even tho it takes a while to render. Ive just started trying to make these "movies" & tried a few different types of compression codecs, mpeg2 seems to be about the best for near lossless compression a 30min track rendered to 450mb file size at 100% quality & 30fps. Compared with Windows Media Video9 codec a 15min track rendered to 385mb file size at 25% quality & 25fps. Disadvantage of using the mpeg2 codec is once you start to render an avi you cant use your pc, seems evey window you open, every popup you see on your desktop ends up in the rendered avi.

Also i found that if you used F10 map veiw at all in the in game video edit (ctrl-e) then somehow during rendering it replaces this with satelite veiw & thereafter all your cool F2 external shots are now satellite veiw...maybe one for the bug report there. This dosent seem to occour when using the WMV9 codec to render & you can also carry on using your pc as normal without the desktop environment appearing in the end avi. Im getting into the habit of leaving pc on all night & let it render while i sleep to be safe.

Im using Sony Vegas 6.0 to edit the avi file...cut out the crap, add FX tittles & sound track & then rendering once more with that into an mpeg2 or wmv. My first movie (http://www.la15mary3.com/movies/su25t_ship_strike.wmv) ended up at 60mb for just over 5min of run time with 25% quality at 25fps.

Btw i still havent got the in game sound to record, i have 2 sound cards installed, one on-board & one PCI, seems it was recording mic input & not game output, still working on that....Weta i think your onto something there, ive been using different sound codecs in the render options...might just try it again & leave the sound "uncompressed"
