.NRTK
« on: January 22, 2013, 02:01:20 AM »

Can anyone explain to me the video files and how they work? If I wanted to use some recordings for in between missions how do I grab the video and edit? Also, if I wanted to post a non-edited .nrtk to youtube or something, how does that work?

Everything I have found is not helpful and that the file .nrtk is very rare....

Thanks!

if i understand correctly, you want to edit ntrk's to use as videos between campaign missions?
if so - no, you can't edit an ntrk file as it is. the only way to do so is to use a screen recording utility like Fraps, which will record it as an avi. the avi can then be edited with  most video editing software, and so it is possible to post edited, or unedited clips on youtube.
there is nothing that will edit an ntrk in it's native format.
you can try and edit an ntrk by using the record track feature in IL-2, and then to use the pause feature to get the scenes you want. the ntrk does not record the pauses, so the final result will be as one video, changing scenes as per the pauses, if you get my meaning.
in IL-2 there are two types of track recordings -.trk and .ntrk
for ntrk, you need to start recording 'live', in mission.
if you don't do so, you can only replay a trk file, which is notorious for not playing back correctly. you will end up with planes shooting into thin air, crashing into the ground for no reason, and all kinds of crazy stuff - so it's much better to record on the fly, and then work with the resulting ntrk file.
even an ntrk file sometimes doesn't play back properly, but more so than a trk file, which will almost never play back properly.
hope this helps.

??? So another question along these lines.  Can you start Fraps, and then play and capture an NRTK or TRK file, and then edit it?

yes. fraps records as an avi file, which can then be edited with your preferred video editing software.  :D

Sounds good, thanks for the info, thats what I was figuring since .nrtk is such an odd file type.

Another quick question, if I used FRAPS to record some clips that I wanted to edit and splice together for the 'in game videos between missions', is that possible to do? Also on that same note if it is, can I add audio bits as well or am I just asking to much?

no, it's not possible to do it that way, unfortunately.
there is no way to change an avi back into ntrk format.  :'(

Damn! I had big plans SAS~Malone, thanks for dashing them! Just kidding, I figured that was the case once I started reading up on .nrtk files but thought I'd ask anyways. Oh the possibilities.

Any suggestions from you all about movies and missions? Maybe do a good youtube video of the campaign and release the video before the actual campaign files?

yes, you could do that, or even include the separate avi's as a 'bonus feature' of your campaign. :D
