    AVI from DEM

    CS Animation has a new tutorial that lets you create AVI movies from DEM, or Half-Life demos. This means that you can record the movie while playing with no slow downs. Here's a tidbit:
    First u must record a demo at any resolution (you'll change it later anyway) using the "record [demoname]" command, and stopping it using the "stop" command. Once you have your demo ready, change your resolution to 400x300 in the CS video modes. Go into the console and type "timedemo [demoname]" and let it play through the entire demo, this will get it all cached. Now, you will type "startmovie [anyname]", then "timedemo [demoname]" right after. It will look as if you viewing it at 1fps, but that's normal. Once your demo is finished playing, type "endmovie". "Timedemo" will create a significantly larger demo file in your half-life dir (hundreds of megs depending on the time and resolution). If you have a fast processor, good video card and well over 1 gig of space u can increase the resolution, but I wouldn't recommend it.
    Read the whole can for all the info.



    They've also added a few new movies (using this recording method). The hackerz one depicts someone cheating. How quaint.
