My first Rome-Total War movie

[Richard the Lionheart]

Here's the first complete Rome-Total War movie I've made; it does of course feature RTR 6.

It shows a battle between the Parthians and Macedonians. It runs about 15 mins and is around 77mb download. Video quality had to be sacrificed for size so the resolution is small.

I welcome feedback ofcourse..so tell me what you all think.

Here's the NEW link:

What did you use to create the movie and could u tell were to download it

[Richard the Lionheart]

You can use virualdub to combine the captured tgas into an avi movie. THen ofcourse you can convert or edit the movie with the different softwares available.

[Centurion Quintus]

How did you record the footage?

[Richard the Lionheart]

Well the movie was made using the Rome-Total War in-game movie editor. If you're not familiar with this go to the Rome-Total War webpage, click on downloads, and download the editor documentation.

[Centurion Quintus]

How did you save it in a WMV, or AVI format?

[Richard the Lionheart]

If you use virtualdub you can combine the tga images into an avi format movie, which can be quite large depending on the lenght of the movie. THe tga's themselves take up a huge amount of space so you should have a large hard drive. After making the avi you can convert the movie into any other format i guess if you use any of the available converters on the web. Just do a search on Google for video converters.

Cool, why isn't your link working?

[Richard the Lionheart]

Is the link not working? I checked and it works....goes to megauploads but you have to wait around 50 seconds then click on the link to download. Is that link not working?

[Centurion Quintus]

I see! Hadn't noticed the small box, kind of annoyingly subtle. Haha, i'll let you know what I think in a few.

[cellnight]

Ok you're talking about the battle editor or historical battle maker...if you want to make movies you have to use the movie editor. You want to make movies right?

[Richard the Lionheart]

Ok I changed the link of the download. Now you can download the file from filefront, which is much faster.
