Help talk:Recording demos

Some notes I should point out since this is linked to on the front page:

There is a bug causing startmovie (name) avi to use the DivX codec. (Prints "FIXME: DivX only for now" in console) and

The current Source Recorder video is unavailable due to it being removed. --ANormalUsername 04:25, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

startmovie mymovie h264 Error?

I don't want to bother with using an external video editor to piece together individual frames if I can help it; when I try to use the startmovie command with the h264 argument, the demo plays back much faster than 100% (even though it is at the default speed) and no output files are saved, as far as I can tell. Is this broken, too? Vaati 006 12:50, 2 February 2013 (PST)

It should be in the same location the individual frames should be. See the article for the path. I would assume why it is playing faster is because it can render the required frames faster than real time (ex: a 30fps video on a machine that can do 60fps with a fast hard drive).
