Hello,

I've started playing with the BF2 Recorder (full version latest patch), on a Lan game that I create to just get the hang of it. I can create the demo, I can then go in and create my camera movement (demo.cmd +c). However, the problem comes into play when I go to render the AVI file. No matter what codec I select, I get an unplayable file of usually 300+ - 4gig in size. When I try to play it, I get a "This AVI is corrupt or missing codec" error message.

I sent the demo and the camera file to a friend, and he said he can render it fine.

I've read every message, all 14+ pages of the threads to see if anyone is having this problem, and it appeared that the problem had to do with switching out of BF2 while the file was rendered. This is not my case here, I leave the machine, or spend 20 minutes or so watching my short footage render, until BF2 quits out and I get a DONE message in the command box.

any help on what could be going wrong?

More info on this... Now it appears that the ONLY video that will complete the render process, but still give me an unwatchable video, is the uncompressed option.

I downloaed GSPOT and it reports that the header is corrupt.

Anyone have any ideas?

This is a fresh install of Windows XP SP2 (last week), and a clean install of BF2 and patches last week.

The only video player I installed was Zoom Player, with the following optional files:
DirectVobSub
xVid
DivX

Anyone have any ideas?
