Author Topic: Film viewer, enhancement request (Read 137 times)

Like many other players (I think) I record alot of my training for later analysis.

Finding it near impossible to find the film I want to see I organize them into folders in the film directory.

Currently AH does not allow you to decend into folders.

Would it be possible to add this feature?

Thanks,

Grayarea.

How about the ability to save the movies in a different format? The AH format is fine, but you need to fire up the game in "Movie" mode to see 'em. I'd love to save a nice sunset flight as an AVI or MPEG video, plus I could actually e-mail them to anyone and not worry if their film viewer is on the fritz! An even better use of this would be videos available for download from the HTC website. Who wants to download the game first when you can watch a movie of Rip and Saw blasting each other to shreads!!!!

I like the idea of saving in different more universal file formats, think of how many players may hover over joining or not and then having their minds made up when they can download an MPEG or other equivalent and watch some action

Excellent ideas.

Realmedia (.rm) format would be quite good. It takes the smallest amount of space. Mpeg or avi are a lot bigger in size.

Some more ideas:

The ability to name the films on the fly would be great. For example a dot command to save the latest film: .film <namehere>.ahf

Being able to "record the film" while watching a film would be neat. I can't count the times I've forgotten to turn the film off - resulting in a 2MB clip. And of course the kill I wanted to film is during the first 10 secs.

But frankly, I'd rather see HTC working on some more important stuff, such as the Brewster Buffalo.
