Re: BF2 Recorder rendering problem

Uninstall & reinstall, Update 1.02. Fook media wm9 10 works fine, Did u press R ?. You update drivers ? Render at 800 x 600. you have to press R to stop render .. ?

Re: BF2 Recorder rendering problem

I will have to look for WM10, since I just installed 9. Uninstall and re-install BF2? Did this after a fresh install of win XP SP2 last weekend. Oh gawd. :)

I did try rendering at 8x6, and before I bring down the console, I will need to press R to stop the rendering, even if my demo is done, correct?

Didn't see WM10 encoder on MS's website. just did a re-install and getting ready to render a brand new demo I created... wish me luck.

Oh, no go on getting the joystick configured for camera control. Can one of you that has done this offer some advice?

Thanx

I don't think WM10 encoder even exists.

Re: BF2 Recorder rendering problem

Ahhh, someone here suggested it. Oh well. :) I can encode with full frames, then convert to DiVX with no problem....now.

Now if I can only figure out how to get the sound saved with the +s parameter.

Re: BF2 Recorder rendering problem

Appreciate all the help I've been given, but I am still having problems rendering the video into anything other than Uncompressed. Once the game loads, and before the PLAY button, I Alt-Tab to desktop, and select a different codec, and before I can ALT Tab back to BF2, I get a DONE message in the command window and BF2 is closed.

Any ideas? It has to be something. There has to be a way to render more than 1-2 minutes of a demo.

Re: BF2 Recorder rendering problem

Does this problem persist with WM9 as well?

Now if I can only figure out how to get the sound saved with the +s parameter.

Sound is not saved with the +s parameter, if you're using the demo.cmd file. It only plays back the sound and it is even a flawed "feature", doesn't sync well with the video.

This is also one of the reasons to why BL (BattleLauncher) can capture sound off Battlefield 2 in case you don't have a decent sound editor to do the job.

Re: BF2 Recorder rendering problem

you'd think they would have an editor to edit the demos and save them to a video file.

Like Womble MPEC VCR or something. You can cut parts out, and all that.

Why don't they. They touted how you can make your own movies, but it takes an expert to do anything worthy of being watched.

I'm not a video expert, but i can do some limited stuff. But what they have now, is just crap.

Something like the BF2Editor, but for video would be great.

Re: BF2 Recorder rendering problem

Got the sound going... Thanx for the help. Now, if I can just render the video to something other than Full Frame/Uncompressed, that would be great. Every time I attempt something other than that, I end up with a 0K file, whether it goes through the render process or not. The DiVX option goes through the render process, but I end up with a 0K file. Other options, just close BF2 and I get a 0K file. Uncompressed isn't bad, but I read on Planetforum, that there is a 4gig limit, and 4 gig is only about 2 minutes of demo footage.

I know I've asked this before, and gotten back some suggestions, but NOTHING seems to be working for me. Can anyone help me out on this?
