Recordable Cinematic?

Ok, this is probably posted in the wrong forum but it has to do with cinematics so I hope it's right.

As for the question:
I wonder if it is in any way possible to record a cinematic in WC3 and have it on DVD. I hope someone could help me with this... :god_help_us:

OF course there is, but there's one big catch. If you want to your gonna have to scrounge up 30 bucks for fraps and then get a file converter that can convert the fraps file into a DVD file then you can burn it nice and fancy onto a DVD.

Ok...
But is there an easier/cheaper way to record it?
I kind of assumed that DVD was the easiest way of doing it.
And wtf is "fraps" :/
Besides from a few questionmarks; thanks for your help.

Ok I don't know of any less expensive way, I know someone (I think he is retired now) was thinking of running a cinimatic burning thing free out of Britain. But that went to hell. And also Fraps is a video game recording program, it's pretty interesting just search "Fraps" on any search engine. PS-Nice Avatar

hmm there is a program called, hmm whats its name.... i think it is fraps, wich u can get FREE!!! and it quite easy! but the file will be large... i guess 15 min or so will be 4 gig

Ok, thanks for the help. I searched on "fraps" www.google.com and found this site: www.fraps.com It says:
Does that mean I cannot record if I have my resolution set to higher than 1152x864 or will the movie be in that resolution? As you can se I am not really into this... :/ But I would appreciate your help.


Do you mean if I download fraps from for example that site (www.fraps.com) the file size will be extremely large? And if it will be, is it possible to have that much information on a DVD?

Ok. A little update:
I downloaded fraps and read the help thingy. There it said that the filesize is huge and that another program has to be used to compromise the filesize.
So I downloaded something called VirtualDub and I could compromise the files and convert it into other formats so I think it will work now.
And if it doesn't, I'll get back to you. :D
The only thing is: what file is "DVD file"?
Anyway thanks for the help and sorry for the dubblepost... It would have been a little messy otherwise...

what file is dvd file? wtf! EXPLAIN URSELF! :D

well, Nobuo said: "Get a file converter that can convert the fraps file into a DVD file then you can burn it nice and fancy onto a DVD."

What I ask is what format is DVD. Like sound files has ".mp3", ".wav" and so on.
What format is DVD is what I meant. I hope you understand.
The thing is that when I click the "compress" option I get loads of formats I can compress the file to but I don't know whitch one I have choose to burn it on DVD.

Raw DVD video data uses a format called .DOB I believe. I haven't the slightest clue as to how you could convert anything to that format.

If DOB isn't available (which I wouldn't think it would be), see if you can compress it to a DivX or XVid AVI file. Search for the codecs on google. Most DVD's (or at least ripped DVD movies) use XVid codec, and a lot of trailers for games and such you see on the net use DivX.

And Fraps is free? I thought the free version put a little "Unregistered" in the corner of anything you record with it.

well, it really depends on what formats the dvd player can read... and if your only using it on your comp, well, then use ANY!

Ok, it is possible to compress to DivX format but I couldn't find the XVid. But if it is as you say, that I can use any format then there should not be any problems.
And the thing with the little "unregistered" thing, I haven't seen anything like that.
One last question: If I convert the file to DivX format is it just to burn it over to DVD then?

many DVD players can read VCD, which is basicly a mpg format.
i use nero in VCD mode, it converts and burns it to a CD.

Did you forget an "e" or is it "mpg"? Because I can find: "Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec V1" and "Microsoft MPEG-4 Video Codec V2".

And by the way, Iron_Ian; There is a little text in the video that says "www.fraps.com".

dude first of all, tell us what ur using this dvd for, and if its for a DVD-player u have in the living room, tell us wich formats it reads!
