Hey if anyone knows, is there some sort of program I can download onto my computer for me to be able to access and watch or edit my halo reach, and beta videos like in theater mode? If you know of something can you post up the link if not, please do not be an a-hole and just say no.

Reach for Halo!

no
;)

I havent heard of anything. The thing is that theater films are not regular wmv or mov files, therefore they have to be specially viewed. If you were to get a capture card, and hook it up to the computer, you could do it like that. But I think you want to fly around using the computer instead of a controller, which a capture card doesnt do.

It's not possible, you'd have to emulate the entire engine and game etc. Theater doesn't save films as "Films" it saves them as gameplay, so you're actually continually replaying that game.

What are we supposed to be discussing here?

No, you need a capture card or Bungie Pro to get game footage.

okay thanks, so nobody has made some kind of program that allows that though?

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

As stated above, it isn't possible.

No.

Similar things have been done in SwordEdit for Halo: Combat Evolved on the Mac, but I don't believe there's anything for any of the games with an actual Theater Mode. Because theater records game data, not video footage, Bungie and Microsoft are probably the only two groups that could create such a program, and neither of them have.

Bungie offers Bungie Pro which allows you to use you to render film clips from the theater-enabled Halo games into downloadable files. You may also use a capture card or find some other game-rendering service (there used to be quite a few before Bungie set up its own rendering service).

I hope that helped!
