So I get an error when i load tf2 through avirecorder. The error says, "Unable to apply user customizations: Cannot create a file when that file already exists." So then I click OK and it then says, "Unable to revert user custiomizations: Cannot create a file when the file already exists." Does this have to do with me recently deleting and re installing tf2? HELP!

.NET Framework 4.6.2 is installed.

I have managed to get it to work before, but wondering what is stopping it now... I have the required/ more updated .net framework version, i have tried using the tga foldiers in and out of the tf folder, same with the avi. It seems that lawena recording the tga files works, but as soon as i click start recording (p) (start game and create recording configs unticked ofc) it just goes from red ( recording ) to blue ( not recording ) as soon as i press p while using lawena.

Any ideas what is wrong?

Hey, first thank you for your great work and the new release.
I'm getting an error while trying to record a demo using Avirecorder with the x264vfw video codec.

"Settings must not be changed while a movie is in progress"
However i didn't change anything. It happens about 10s after starting the recording.

I succefully managed to record another sequence of the same demo using the x264 plugin but for some reason this error always happen on this particular moment of the demo. Uncompressed recording works fine though.

Full error log: https://pastebin.com/2GSy4YJP

for some reason i press f9 to record, it just slightly slow down the video, and in the avirecorder window, the "current movie" and "last frame processed" box is empy and not doing anything. help plz

I used a frame blend rate of 2 and process rate of 2 and got slow mo footage. same for blendrate 1 and processrate 1. when I used blendrate 32 and processrate 16 I got extremely sped up video.
any help?

I want to use x264 but the codec won't show up in AviRec, but it does show up in VirtualDub. I have tried both 32 and 64 bit versions of AviRec and VDub with same results. I do not want to use lossless as video files are too big and I don't want to waste time since I will encode it to x264 later on. I'm using Windows 7.

If i launch the game with lawena F9 doesn't do anything, even though the console says it's bound to "avi_recorder_startstop"

This is probably a pretty stupid question but after downloading the zip folder and unzipping it I can't find the file I'm supposed to doubleclick to open the program in the "AviRecorder-master" folder or any subfolders.

I'm pretty dumb so I need to ask, if I want to record at 300fps (so I can slow clips without sacrificing fps when it's put into a 60fps movie), how do I do that? Not sure how the frame blending/rate/host_framerate works.

Hey! I love the idea of this app; gave it a go this weekend and couldn't get it to work as expected.

It seems to copy the configs over correctly but just not execute them when the game launches, any clues as to if something has changed in the years since the last updates that would stop it working?

Thanks!

This is what I put and it gives me "The path to game directory of game "Counter-Strike: Source" is invalid: The given path's format is not supported.

But if I use and remove \C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
it gives me "No supported steam games found on this system.

Hello;

Great project, seems to be working just fine for me thus far. Loving the ability to pick the shutter angle, really makes the footage more pleasant to watch back with the appropriate shutter angle. I also hope to test it using a Ramdisk via symlink instead of just recording the TGAs to my SSD and then back to RAM (will report if I find any useful performance gains).

That being said, I was just wondering, how do you deal with matching up the output audio file to the video? Is there a recommended procedure?

For some reason, I cannot seem to make the audio stream match up with the video stream.

Thanks,
Breakthrough

Edit: Have tried using a Ramdisk, no notable performance improvements surprisingly. However, it would be wise to use one if you only have an SSD, as this would avoid unnecessary writes to the drive, prolonging the drive's longevity.

I read through your documentation of tools and figured, it'd be great if it displayed, when using your program via tooltips e.g.

What do you think?

Current release is for an old version of Avirecorder. I would love to test the newest !

Alright so I've been using VDM files to control the recording process of my demos. My scenario is that each demo will start and stop recording at certain ticks and then play the next demo in the same folder.

The demos record one after the other unless this happens:

The game crashes when it stops recording sometimes, even if I just use 60fps, after about 15 clips the game would crash at the end of a recording.

The crash doesn't wreck the footage as it happens when the recording stops. The problem is I need the game to launch again and continue recording.

So I was wondering if you could code in a feature so that there's a checkbox in settings that will auto relaunch the game after it closes (after 30-60 seconds or so would be good). Also a textbox where the user could enter their demo path (e.g. "demos/opm/clips/"). Then when the game relaunches it needs to count how many .avi files are in the movie folder, +1 it, and then add that to the end of the demo path with a "playdemo " in front. So if there's 5 avi files in the movie folder, you would have "playdemo demos/opm/clips/6". This command would be entered in the autoexec.

Then if the game crashes again it needs to do another avi count and autoexec update to continue recording the rest of the demos until it reaches the end.

I have downloaded a replacement for net framework 4.6.2 on WIne (link- http://repacks.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7) but whenever i try to open the program it says "archive not avaliable." I have tried opening it manually from terminal but nothing works. Any idea how I can port it?

I have installed Prores codec but it doesnt show up in the settings. Are just some codecs not compatible with avirecorder or is there some step im missing?

edit: Prores shows up in my adobe programs so it is definitely installed in some capacity

After I press F9, I get this text on the TF2 console:

Started recording movie, frames will record after console is cleared...
Couldn't write movie snapshot to file tga\rec_0000.tga.
WaveFixupTmpFile( 'tga\rec_.WAV' ) failed to open file for editing

No movie started.

Folder looks like this: https://puu.sh/CIPGY/4fbcab5be0.png
