Great. Theatre Mode is working...but can I access my vids outside of the game?

Basically I'm wondering if you can access these videos outside of the game so I can share them with friends or upload em to Youtube.

I don't find anything telling me how to access the videos and I really hope there's a way.

You can't access the files outside of the game since they are just demo files. (I think they are stored in the cloud and not locally also)

like a set of instructions it recreates the game, So you need to the game to view it.

You can "share" your games by adding them to your public share file or whatever its called in game. When you friends click your name in the in-game friends list they can view your shared files (max 6) and watch them via their own game.

The theater mode has a built in recorder to encode the demo into an actual exportable media file for youtube and the like. BUT its about 320P which looks like garbage. Your best bet is to use fraps on a saved theater game. Then upload that fraps movie to youtube or what have you.

I use FRAPS at 30, 45 or 60 frames per second at 1280x720 window mode on normal textures with shadows and 2x AA, fps capped at 60 or 65 typically. If youre looking for an alternative to the flaky beta feature on theater you should definitely try it.

Yup, quite literally so. It's really bad, barely can see what's going on.

Easiest way is to go to the Friends menu in the Main menu (bottom right corner), doubleclick on your friend's name and there you go.

There is a way to force it to 720p & 1080p, they speak of it HERE, I just tried it, Result was a 1080p avi in my Black Ops folder.
