Should be no problem with consistancy There will be a little speed hit but on a fast machine with a good GFX card this should be negligible > and the resolution is pretty small ...

This should just entail writing a header then streaming the imagery into the file and then updating the header when all the frames are written In fact this code is basically a minor rewrite of some AVI creation code of mine that I have used 'forever' :-) FWIW, If we want to make movies what I have done for most of my other Terrain visualizaion programs is to have the Movie maker fly a predetermined < prerecorded > FlightPath and just write the Movie without updating the GFX screen at all < just a text mode progress report >. This should be fairly easy to build ontop of what is in SimGear if anyone wanted todo something similar Then again 'needing' a camera todo this certainly helps justify 'needing' a digital video cam :-) Cheers Norman _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
