capturing large amounts of demos [playlist problem]

[vidcapper]

hi,

i'm using FRAPs along with the seismovision playlist to capture some demos.

one of the problems i've run into is that the seismovision playlist goes directly from one demo to the next. this is a problem because i'm capturing quite a few demos (from my old clan's games) but FRAPS, obviously, doesn't stop capturing when one demo ends and another begins.

unfortunately there is no option to quit the game after every demo in playlist and start the game again. is there any way around this?

Ideally the process would go something like this:
Start demo->
Demo ends->
Quit game->
Restart game with new demo->

(this will, of course, lead into the problem of autostarting captures with FRAPs. anyone know a way around that, too?)

i'm well aware that it can be done manually, but i don't have the time to babysit the process. i just want to leave it running while i go to work or overnight.

If you want Seismovision to shut down after every demo you could create a batch file.

Lets call it seis.bat:

Code: Select all

C:
cd\
cd program files
cd nugartd software
cd seismovision 3

seismovision3.exe "full path to demo"
seismovision3.exe "full path to demo"
REM example: seismovision3.exe "C:\demo.dm_68"

pause

With this batch file, Seismoivison start up and shut down after every demo. You would need to find a way of autostarting FRAPS. Perhaps read their documentation looking for command line parameters and using that in the batch file.
