Capture movie causes time speedup

Post #1by tad34 » 01.03.2005, 07:35

Celestia 1.3.2 on Windows XP Pro SP1, 512MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB AGP, Catalyst 4.11 drivers

Apparent passage of time doubles in speed when recording a movie.
I've tried different resolutions, different FPS, different codecs to no avail.
I've searched the forums regarding this with no luck.

See the following for an example (136KB Xvid encoded AVI):

Notice that it says that it's in real time, however time passes at about twice that of real time. This is a real speedup, simulation wise, not just a clock bug. It also affects the passage of time when time is accelerated, so recording a movie at 100x actually comes out to 200x.

Thanks for any help,

Andrew

P.S. Celestia is one of the finest pieces of software ever. :D
