LINKS
Here you can download all the programs, codecs and everything you need for Counter-Strike movie making. I have also linked some other good movie making and movie sites that can help you. Some of the information on this site I have learned from others on these other movie sites.
NICS XviD Codec - This codec is the XviD codec that I use when I use XviD to compress clips
DivX Homepage - This is the homepage of DivX Pro, you can download a free 6-month trial of the new DivX Pro 6 or buy it
Oldversion.com - DivX - Here you can legally download the older versions of DivX Pro for free and be able to use all of the compression features
VideoMach - From this site you can download VideoMach which is used to compile a .avi out of a sequence of picture files (such as .bmp's)
Sony Vegas - This is the page for the latest Sony Vegas products. Vegas 4 can be found for very cheap online used but is completely capable of producing high quality videos (if you plan on buying Vegas for game video making, I personally suggest Vegas 4, Vegas 5/6 don't have many if any at all extra features that are useful to us Counter-Strike movie makers)
VirtualDub - This program is used for compressing video and audio in .avi format. I personally use VirtualDub when compressing short clips
MovieMakers - This group of game movie makers produce some of the best movies in the world. They have great tutorials and forums as well
Fraps - Program used to capture .avi files from .dem files (and other video). Much simpler than VideoMach but some people get bad quality with it (I get perfect quality with it so...)
Own-Age - Here, you can download virtually any movie and the forums are a great movie making resource
CS Flicks - You can download all the latest Counter-Strike movies here and they have great tutorials and help on the forum (Currently down as of 7-1-2005)
