Master has given Dobby a doctorate! Dobby is free!

I have a replay saved on my computer, but no way that I know of to convert it to a .mp4 or format otherwise viewable by a computer without starcraft, or a .rep viewer [some can be found on the internet]. Searching both SEN and google turned up nothing at all, which tells me two things:
1) that nobody has a converter [unlikely, especially since I'm sure I'm not the first person who has thought of this],
2) that .rep files are impossible to save as .mp4 or similar format,
or [and most likely]
3) that this is a problem so elementary that I'm overlooking the basic premise of it [much as someone new to scmdraft might not know how to use the text trigedit instead of classic trigedit].
If anyone could provide a link to the converter I would appreciate it.

The tools you'll need:

StarCraft, you can find that here:
C:\Program Files\Starcraft\StarCraft.exe

FRAPS:

Generic video to mp4 converter:

In case you didn't get my joke, what you are asking to do is equivalent to turning a text file of lyrics into a mp3 song.



None.

IIRC, .rep files tell the AI what to do, in order to replicate the game. They aren't actually recorded videos, which is why replays glitch very often.



None.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

NudeRaider -- Symmetry
Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
