Extracting police radio chatter
Required programs:
VirtualDub (version 1.6.10 or higher)
Fraps
Nero Wave Editor or a similar audio editor (Awlmedia Audio Editor (3MB), for example)
Launch Fraps, go to the "Movies" tab. If needed, use the "Change" button to change the folder
where everything will be saved. To reduce lag, set "Half-Size". The "Record Sound" checkbox
should be enabled, and "Detect Best Sound Input" too. That's it, minimize Fraps.Enter the game, in the sound options lower all sliders except the speech volume.
Start the game, when the cops start talking, press the F9 key (by default in Fraps,
if you haven't changed it). The numbers in the top left will turn red and recording will begin. When you want to
stop, press the same key again as at the start.Launch VirtualDub. Click "File -> Open Video File" or Ctrl+O.
Open the folder where Fraps recorded the clip and open the desired video file. It should
be named "speed year-month-day hours-minutes-seconds-milliseconds.avi" That is, depending on when
you recorded it, that will be the name. By default this is the folder with the program (where
Fraps was installed). Then click "File -> Save WAV". Specify the folder to save to and
click "Save".Then, using Nero Wave Editor, open the saved WAV. Trim the file as you need
and save it in the desired format.
This method of extracting cop radio chatter can be used, as you can see, not
only in Most Wanted, but also in NFS: High Stakes and NFS: Hot Pursuit 2. It can also be applied
when extracting music or sounds from any games.
