Plasma AVI glitch

Hi: I'm new to GitHub, so bear with me if I do this wrong. This is a "down the road" issue that I might look into. It is a wish list/client issue. I noticed the internal client has a "AVIWrite" command which does not work, it would be great if I or someone more experienced could get it working. Then someone could make a Ki command to record movies in game! We would no longer have to rely on external tools. -Jamie

I have done some digging on this. It appears the problem is "plDXPipeline::CaptureScreen", which can be found in "plDXPipelinec.cpp". This method needs to be rewritten to work faster and does not work unless the client is full screen. This will probably have to be done by someone who knows more about Plasma, video games and C++* then I do. The window for codec select will have to run in a separate thread so that the game is not away for "too long".

EDIT: Fixed spelling.

dumping the screen is entirely too slow now, agreed. This may not get fixed with the current pipeline, but I'll try to make it somewhat sane with the plGLPipeline
