[…]Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that indeed PLDX’s record binds do not make the game save the .tga’s in the correct folder.
Yea doing it manually fixed it.
If anybody still has issues with the generated filenames, you can use this perl script http://gist.github.com/2048149 to automatically correct them.
Run it with:
perl rename.pl "C:\path\to\directory"
where “C:\path\to\directory” is the directory where your image files are located.
It’s also possible to simple drop the .pl file into the particular directorty, run it without any arguments then:
perl rename.pl
Sample output:
Application started.
Directory: D:/TF2-Movies/recording_output

I will make sure to mention this the next time somebody asks me for an example of a completely unnecessarily overcomplicated script… ;-)

What is the problem with how the files are named? Is it because you need to have padding 0’s in front of the filenames?

Yes, startmovie standardises it to %06d.

Yes, but does your video editor need the frames named like that as well? SrcDemo2 will accept frames with numbers having or not having leading 0’s regardless, so how startmovie names frames by default is kind of irrelevant, unless some other aspect of the workflow depends on this naming convention.

VirtualDub is the tool usually in use, and it sorts filenames as strings (because they are…) rather than as integers, so yes, it matters. In fact if any tool didn’t do this I would consider it a bug.

Released a new build today. You can download it from http://code.google.com/p/srcdemo2/downloads/list as usual.
Changes include:
– Fixed preview picture staying stuck when disabling the preview picture while a demo was being rendered.
– Improved prefix detection logic: Will now automatically add an underscore if you use a command like “startmovie srcdemo/mymovie3” (it will output all files with the prefix “mymovie3_” rather than “mymovie3”). The behavior is unchanged if the prefix does not end by a digit, so “startmovie srcdemo/mymovie” will not have an added underscore.
– Frame numbers are now zero-padded up to 6 digits, to match Source Recorder’s file naming pattern.
– Frame numbers now start at 1 instead of 0.
The source code is available here.
Just to make sure: is this the way this this tool is supposed to work http://i.imgur.com/x5Y5W.jpg ? or im doing something wrong ? ( left – standard frame, right – frame taken with srcdemo2 ).

Yeah that’s supposed to happen, it doesn’t look (as) blurry when the images are all moving.
