.rpl Video replay files not working right

I recorded (Alt + R) video of my driving in the game. Default map, default vehicle, and saved it. I believe it was v.0.17.

I come back in v.0.19 and try to play back the same video, and the vehicle spikes (like a giant prehistoric porcupine driving down the road), and makes funny skidding sounds. Note the default map (East Coast, USA) and vehicle (one of the Gavril T-series big rigs, with dry trailer) remains the same in the game. Just the version I'm playing back the video is different than the one I recorded it in.

Should that make a difference?
If so, I think that's troubling. The whole point of making a recording is being able to go back to it anytime I want, to screen record, catch it from a different camera angle, etc. etc.

If each major version update (not a sub-version hotfix), ruins the videos I recorded in the previous version, then what's the frickin' point of making videos in the first place?

If I take out all those video files, store them somewhere else in my hard drive while I update BeamNG, does that make a difference (i.e. -- corrupt them)?
If so, okay then I guess that makes sense. But had I not moved them out of the way ahead of time, wouldn't BeamNG have deleted/destroyed them upon the update to the next version-- had I not safely moved them out of the BeamNG folder?

I guess what I'm asking is, am I damned if I do, damned if I don't?

Finally, I understand that recording mod cars in mod or default maps, and then removing/deactivating the mod car, and trying to play back the video; results in a spiked default vehicle (porcupine effect) driving down the road. That's not the issue at hand-- just wanted to clarify that point.

Thanks.

 

Yes, right... replay files. That's what I meant. I can only play those back within the game. I realize that.

Okay Nadeox1, thanks for clarifying that very point, because that's what I feared. I have a tendency to recording (Alt +R) within the game, something I like, save it, and intend to get back to it later with a screen/game recorder, to edit and upload to YouTube much later-- as I'm behind on all my YouTube projects by a good 3 to 5 years now.

So if I understand you right, best to screen record those replay files sooner than later, as the game has a major update at least twice a year on average?
Okay, sounds as if I just have to learn to move a little faster, if I want my projects to see the light of day.

Thank you for your input.
