Convert WOWPREPLAY to AVI

Understanding WOWPREPLAY and AVI file formats

WOWPREPLAY files are replay files generated by the game World of Warships. These files store gameplay data, allowing users to watch past matches within the game client. They are not standard video files and cannot be played by regular media players.

AVI (Audio Video Interleave) is a widely used multimedia container format developed by Microsoft. AVI files can store both video and audio data and are compatible with most media players and editing software.

Why convert WOWPREPLAY to AVI?

Converting a WOWPREPLAY file to AVI allows you to share your gameplay as a standard video, making it viewable on any device or platform without requiring the game client.

How to convert WOWPREPLAY to AVI

Since WOWPREPLAY files are not actual video files, direct conversion is not possible. Instead, you need to:

1. Open the WOWPREPLAY file in the World of Warships game client to play the replay.
2. Use screen recording software to capture the replay as it plays.
3. Save the recording in AVI format or convert it to AVI after recording.

Recommended software for conversion

• OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software): Free and powerful screen recorder. Set the output format to AVI in Settings → Output → Recording Format.
• Bandicam: User-friendly screen recorder with direct AVI output. Choose Format → AVI before recording.
• VLC Media Player: If your recorder saves in another format, use VLC to convert to AVI via Media → Convert/Save.

Step-by-step conversion process

1. Launch World of Warships and open your WOWPREPLAY file.
2. Start your screen recording software and select the game window.
3. Begin recording, then play the replay in full.
4. Stop the recording when the replay ends.
5. If needed, use a video converter to change the recording to AVI format.

Conclusion

While you cannot directly convert WOWPREPLAY files to AVI, screen recording is the most effective method. OBS Studio and Bandicam are excellent choices for capturing and saving your gameplay as AVI videos.
