Ok im trying to make a video collage of myself scouting, however im running into some problems. I take the video fine via the source video recorder thing, but i cannot convert it (or at least play the video after its converted).
I type "startmovie JunK avi" and a box comes up with a list of Video Compression file things.
Here is the list:
Full Frames (Uncompressed)
Fraps Video Decompressor
Indeo video 5.10
Microsoft H.261 Video Codec
Microsoft H.263 Video Codec
Microsoft Video 1
Microsoft RLE
Intel IYUV codec
Intel Indeo Video 4.5
Intel Indeo(R) Video R3.2
Intel 4:2:0 Video V2.50
Cinepak Codex by Radius
HuffyUV 2.1.1

Frantic told me he uses Huffy, so i click it and hit ok. Then i play my demo...and sometimes it looks like its in fast forward, sometimes it slows down to seem like its im slow motion. But once the .dem file is done playing, i stop the video with "endmovie". Now i have a JunK.avi file in my counter-strike folder (not cstrike) and when i try to open it with Windows Movie Maker i get this error.
H:Program FilesSteamsteamapps*****counter-strike sourceJunK.avi could not be imported. The selected file is not valid or is corrupted.

I however blanked out my steamID, but what the crap. Its really pissin me off, everybody is telling me it should work, but yet it doesn't. Does anybody know what could possibly be going wrong?

EDIT: Somebody told me to move the .avi file to my cstrike folder, and when i either left click or right click on the .avi file i get THIS error. woot. looks like it is corrupted for some reason some how.

could it be the size of the file, because i took a 6 second clip and it converted fine, but my full demos are only approximately 2-5 minutes, and i cannot convert them...i just get the error
 
set the game framrate to 30fps than use Full Frames (Uncompressed) which will dump it all to image files and 1 audio file in your game directory than use virtualdub to turn all of the rendered images and the audio file into a vid
 
i could do that. how do i set the game framerate to 30. when i type host_framerate 30 it seems like its in fast foward, or is it supposed to look like that
 
Use Fraps, i use fraps and its the best thing. I dont like having millions of images when you use source recorder.
 
junk when you render this way it should look fast cause it just rendering frame by frame as fast as it can go and darth yes fraps is easier but if you go using the frame rendering in source it allows you to run everything at the highest possible settings with Anti-aliasing at x16 and it will still come out as a perfectly smooth vid in the end even if the computer can't play the game like that at a reasonable fps
