 Hi

I'm trying to work out the "best" way to generate hi-quality screenshots 
and movies from a serverside demo.  I hope to initiate a discussion here 
on that topic.

I'm only just getting started, but I'm planning to experiment with 
gvidcap/xvidcap as well as the builti-in avi generator.  Also, it seems 
that I would have more encoding/editing options if 2k4 could "dump 
frames" from a demo the way that 2k3 did but this doesn't seem 
possible.  I did read recently that sdl 1.3 (cvs) can "off-screen 
rendering" which I'm thinking means render to a file instead of the 
monitor.  That sounds interesting so I'll likely wreck my system 
experimenting with that as well.

Is anyone else comparing different ways of producing screens and movies?

Rob
