Hey vodka, how do you make such nice videos? Every time I hit the F11 key the PO goes over 600%. Maybe my system ain't good enough to make videos?

If you want to make videos the Iain Dalby Way TM then this is what you do: Go to www.download.com and search for " Videomach " and " Virtual Dub ". Videomach is a trial whereas virtual dub is free - however with videomach it only puts a small icon in the top left of the video, still allowing you to use all of the good parts of the prgoram for only a tiny little watermark symbol. Now, open your saved hotlap and, as of course you are using GPx Patch, hold F11 down for the entire duration of what you want to record. Once this is done open VideoMach and load all of the bmp's into it and reanimate them at 30FPS (or perhaps whatever FPS you run the game at). You then save this as an uncompressed, video only, AVI file. Then open Virtual dub, load the movie you have just made - go to filters and choose resize: resize it to 800 x 600, as this makes it nice full screen still. Go also to ' Compression ' and select the Div X 5.1 codec. Choose to save and you should have made a file which is reasonably small and retains good quality (about 16 megs for a 1.20 lap). If you want sound, what I do is set 'Sound Recorder' to record from the sound mixer on your computer, record while running your lap (make sure the frame rate of the game is to be the same as the frame rate you will be animating the bmp's at) then simply use Virtual Dub to add the sound file to the video. Hope that helps. As regards to your system Ricky, I am not sure whether a slower rig will have troubles - the BMP.s tak eup a lot of HD space initially, and making th evideos can use a lot of memory, so I imagine it would be a factor. Anyway, less of me chattering, hopefully another video will be available in the next week or so of Austrian antics

I figured I should make a section specifically for this type of thing since I'm sure there will be a lot of it.

good idea - I wasn't sure where to post, and I think the Grand Prix thread will look a lot smarter if it focuses only on the WSRC races themselves. Hopefully I will be able to post a good amount, if my website takes shape over a period of time, I should be able to put some on there too

Well, I'll be putting at least one picture up, on the Team KDR Page of the WSRC site.
