If you read this, Hi I'm a Quaker from day 1, and I have seen the unfortunate turn Quake4 has had since it's early release. I have made several Q3 movies, one in particular you should look at: GET QUAKED 3 - http://www.own-age.com/vids/video.aspx?id=6212 GQ3 recieved 3 Golden Llama awards (GGL.com) If I can be supplied with the required tools, I can make a Quake4 fragmovie that will blow everyone's mind. These tools include: A way to capture footage from Quake4 without using FRAPS (like the cl_avidemo console command in Quake3.) A dynamic camera which can be controlled throughout demo playback (like Q3 Movie makers edition or DeFrag mod for Q3). People wanna see the best frags to get them interested in playing! I know q3 movies played a huge part in keeping the scene together. Don't let Q4 die because it could not be exposed If anyone on the Raven team can help me, please drop me an e-mail NOSPAMrobo-k1ll@noxious.co.nz (without the nospam).

Well, I doubt raven / id will reply to this post. However, a lot of what you ask for is already present. 1. Q4 already includes an AVI encoder I believe. The command "aviDemo" records it, with the cvars com_aviDemoHeight, com_aviDemoSamples, com_aviDemoTics and com_aviDemoWidth controlling properties of the AVI. I understand from a forum post elsewhere that if you're using OpenAL you may get issues with the sound that is recorded. I suspect that there may be issues if your PC cannot keep up with the framerate required though. 2. Since Q4 1.1 beta it has been possible to record a "server demo". With these the viewer can change between spectating any of the clients on the server, and also freefloat as if they were a spectator. I guess this is what you mean by a "dynamic camera that can be controlled...". Personally I'd love to see some spline based camera logic pulled from the SP stuff for demos. Maybe that will happen in one or more mods one day ;) Personally I dont see a fragmovie as related to whether Q4 grows or shrinks in support though.
