Yeah, it's tough to get the in-game sound for the finished .avi. All demos have sound when you play them in game. But to get an .avi with the proper in game sound requires a lot of work and isn't really worth it.

Yeh ... without a video capturing program like fraps it's nearly impossible ... (sure, you could extract the sounds from a GCF or PAK and synchronize them with the movie with an editing program ... but that would be ... out of yer mind smiley )

If youve got nice hardware, you can use fraps to capture video from demos smiley but only at 640x480.

To get sound: Start Sound Recorder, press record and leave it running in the background while you play your demo. Oh, and make sure you select LINE as your recording control, and set the file format to stereo. You'll probably need to do some tweaking 'cause Sound Recorder sometimes stops recording after 60 seconds (it's a Microsoft product, what do you expect). You'll also have some problems getting the sound in sync with the pictures, but I reckon this could be overcome. This is just an idea, I haven't tried it yet

This tutorial is just under 2 years old. Where in the hell has it been hiding?

Hey this is pretty cool for recording multiplayer games and all but I'm making a single player campaign and I need to add "avi's" during the game play. Is that possible. Probley not.

Good tut though. smiley

I don't think the GoldSource engine supports playing AVI cutscenes. Not sure, though.
