GOD i feel bad for your fps, 10? I thought it mightve been to bad video quality but the vid was runnin 31 fps... :rolling:

lol i dont get 10fps ingame :/ ( my 6800 helps )


10fps is just the standard setting for moviemaking from CS Source. When u put in the command 'startmovie' it takes screenshots ( TGA files ) at a speed 10 frames per second which is a handy thing to know for compiling them in Videomach later

you could have used a program like FRAPS or something.

Yeah, you could use fraps -> good if you have full version and have a separate harddrive to stream to.

BUT

You can actually set the framerate for outputting the images from the demo... like so:

==
host_framerate 30 (forces fixed framerate for playback)
playdemo xxx (starts the demo playback)
startmovie css (starts dumping demo frames to file and writing the .wav)

So you don't have to put up with 10fps demos and have people make fun of you because they think thats what you get in-game :cheese:

FRAPS is horrible for taking video from in-game. It uses up way too much system resources, and can bog down just about any game.

U dont use fraps whilst playing silly u use it when playing back ure demo.


The reason i didnt use fraps is because it sucks quality really sucks


This method can produce some really high quality movies, the only reason these arent really that high quality is that my webspace is limited so i couldnt host anything too big. You wouldnt have known anything about the 10fps if the netgraph hadnt been up

In my opinion this is the best way to make CS AVIs ( short of having a second pc with a capture card working )
