I do everything, what I have to do to record the demo, but when I try to make it into .avi -file, it does the rendering, and when I look at the TF2 folders, there's no .avi file there :(

Even searching does not help. All I can see is just an unknown file, what is really tiny size (0 kb)

@ninjapostimies if u don't record the whole demo, you have to type "endmove" at the end of your record or else there won't be a rendered video file

i got a question ,

when i watch my demo on demoui my hud appears so like health bar , ammo count and etc.

how do i change it back to how yours look with only the time on the top!!!!! HELP

[Fighter707]

@BinarySharp use the pldx recording tool. It has a custum hud so it will look like in my video

[Jaja300]

So how do you do the resampling?

[Fighter707]

@Jaja300 it is activated in sony vegas 8 and 9 as standard. If you want to make it work properly, you have to have at least more than 60 fps in your video. The more Fps the video is rendered with the better will be the resampling result. As you can see, 120fps (like I used in my video) is enough.

Sony Vegas is the best =D

it gives me some kind of error: AVI is no longer supported! Make sure QuickTime is installed and use "h264" - if you install QuickTime, you will need to reboot before using startmovie. PLEASE HELP!
