Hi. This is my first try making replay to avi video. What im possibly doing wrong?

This is what I did:
I played map for 20minutes (2 rounds), finished it and podium comes, then I went to "menu" > "save replay" and hit OK. I did same with another map

Then I went to replay editor, choose file, simple editor and load the replay
The problem is the another file was only 2minutes long and the another only 6minutes. Both of the replays should lasted near 20minutes.

Another problem is when i render the replays to avi all the avis are splitted to 15sec long 1gb files and theres tens of splitted avi parts in the folder. How can i make it full one file? (I use uncompressed avi)

Does the replay cut between the rounds? I would need to record finish to end track with 2 rounds in it, I just save the replay after the whole track?

PS. What is the best method to get full screen capture, with texts and everything? All the programs ive tried creates jitter video so i have to use replays for now, but i think there are tricks to go around? It would be perfect to capture whole screen

Sometimes you need to use the "save previous replay" and not the "save replay" to get the actual replay you are looking for. But I'm not sure how this works with multilaps.

For the problems of the .avi files :
You can try to render as a .webm video. It will take more long time to render, but this will not split into multiple files

Thanks, Im now getting better results. I use save replay and save previous replay for backup.
Any ideas how to get the chat and all other texts to videos? Its impossible?

The chat you might be able to get from the server owner, if you ask him nicely and if he is logging it. Then you would need to add the chat later on manually to the video in the post processing steps.
Alternatively, you can simply try to capture the whole action while playing. But then you will lose the possibilities to change camera angles and other media tracker related stuff.
