HELP! - Bulk converting Demos?
This is somewhat of a technical question.
Do any of you know of a way to batch a list of demos to be converted to AVI?.
I know how to record, save, playback and convert individual demos but because the time it takes to playback a single one (with playdemo) is excruciatingly long (due to the low FPS), I want to have something read a list of demos (perhaps from a directory) and convert them all in a sequence.
I tried doing writing something like:
Code:startmovie <demo name>; playdemo <demo name>; endmovie; startmovie <next demo>; ....
So, does such a method exist via a script of some kind or by other means?
Greatly appreciate any helpful feedback on this matter.

I'm not sure there's an easy way to do this. You could try the wait command between the "playdemo [name]; endmovie" commands. It would go something like this:
playdemo [name]; wait #; endmovie
Where # is the length of the demo. Again, it's not easy to choose what value to use. You could try the number of ticks in the demo, but I don't know if that'll work. From what I've seen, 80 ~ 1 second (as in, "wait 80" lasts about a second).

I don't have any demos to try this with, but maybe this would work.
Make a cfg file called movies.cfg, with the commands to play each demo, like so:
playdemo demo1
playdemo demo2
etc...
then execute movies.cfg and see if it will play them back to back.
How are you converting them into AVI files? Fraps is the only way I know to do that.*********************************
