Converting Demos to .MOV (h264)
Ok, good news! Ryg released a new version of kkapture (0.05). With this version you can now render the demo in segmented .AVI files, which fix the problem I found before that Quicktime wasn't able to load big files (2GB+).

Requirements:
+ kkapture 0.05
+ Quicktime 7.0 Pro

So the process is like this:

1. Using kkapture, render the demo using the encoder .AVI (VfW, segmented) with the frame rate of 30.00 and compressing to Full Frames (Uncompressed)



2. This will create a couple of .AVI files (depending of the length of the demo and screen resolution). Now it comes the silly part... Using quicktime player (pro) we open the first .avi (File / Open file), and then we move the cursor to go to the end of the time line, after that, we drag and drop the next file to that window. This will attach the new file to the end of the other video. We have to do that will all the different files.

3. File / Export... Once there, just select the quality, the Video size and everything. I usually customise a little bit based from the Broadband - High profile.

And there you go!

Here is an example of how the quality it will get:
xplsv_tokyo.mov - 640x400, 30fps, 24Mbytes!!

not bad not bad! but why does this screenshot look so horrible?
horrible? I guess it's because is resized by the browser (the original image is bigger, sorry).
Nice, useful to know. Now if I can just get kkapture to actually save a file instead of doing nothing, I'll be happy!
Instead of doing nothing?! what?!

Have your say!
