How do you convert dm_2 file format?

I want to convert the demo (.dm_2) format to an mpeg or something so I can use it in a video... I don't know how to conver this file. Can someone here lead me in the right direction? Thanks BIG time!!!

You have to download FRAPS. That's a nice tool which will 'tape' almost every DirectX 3D game. More information is on the site.

Keep in mind that this is not a direct file conversion tool. You will have to start up CoD, play the demo, and start recording with FRAPS.

Hey Thanks! I really appreciate the speedy advice. Now I'm just crossing my fingures and hoping I can get it to work. Thanks again my friend.

I would still like to convert the dm_2 file format to something more recognizable (avi, mpeg, etc....) Is there a converter out there?

Thanks for info. in advance.

That program is the best one to convert your files.

What you gotta do is run Fraps, then watch the demo... by loading CoD

~ to get console

/demo filename.dm_2



then press the key you set to start fraps (F9) i think is defualt and away it goes...



Fraps will make HUGE file sizes, cuz its RAW video. You must apply compression to that to make it smaller... That's a whole nother subject though. You should do some research on video editing basically to get your answers for that.



Hope that helps you out some...
