File conversion
19 years ago
General
I want to turn a MLX file into something I can upload and watch, like avi or whatever. Is this possible?

Depends on what an MLX file -is- (never heard of that extension), but if it's some sort of video format, it's certainly possible in one way or another to convert it to avi. I'd need a better idea of what you're trying to do before I can say how difficult it would be or point you in the right direction, though.

It's a game replay for StarCraft.

That's going to be a little more difficult, given that Starcraft replays are done by storing a list of commands that were issued, and recalculating the result (at least that's how I'd do it if I were the programmer). Basically what you're going to need is some sort of screencapture software, and then while you're capturing video, you'll want to run through the reply, thereby capturing it as a movie. That's my recommendation, at least.

I figured that was what I would have to do, but I'd rather have it converted. Thanks for the info. :)

No problem, my pleasure. Unfortunately I can't recommend any software for that purpose, but I'm sure a google search would turn something up for you. And of course don't forget to scan whatever you download for viruses before using it. Good luck.
