I m triying to record movie of my play but as u might have tried, it is very very slow. game takes seperate screenshots whats on the screen. You have to combine these screenshots to get a movie. Also these screenshots consume too much HDD space. I have an idea to record a movie of the play. The game should not take screenshot, instead record only numerical informations of the objects in a text file. (ie which terrain is used, which planes are flying, the velocities, altitutes, angles etc.) In fact, the info to be recorded is the same as the data sent between players when playing online. Then we need a player to play that movie. But I m afraid this is something to do with the patch. I would like to hear something from the patch developers if this could be done.

Think of what can be done if we can record movies in this way. Not also the recording would be easy, sharing would be easy too. People can share their experiences in a very easy way. Movies can be transffered easily over internet as the movies wont be bigger than a MB.

Also, in a conventional movies, u watch what is recorded. In this kind of recording, u can change your view (cockpit or f2 view) change the object viewed, etc. just like watching people playing online.

if u can manage to capture video, and convert it to a avi or mpeg format, u ll get a very large movie file, it will be difficult to transfer it via internet and u cant change your view when watching that movie. And also, u have to set up connections to VCR from your computer to capture movie. but the way I talk about is easy as one key press during the game. What i m talking about is, movie will record everything numerically, and movie player will use the objects from your parfile.

Thats easy to record, transfer, play and also with interactive viewing.

I m sorry for my rotten English. I hope i d managed to express what I wantted to say.
