Ay there.
P-REC unfortunately doesn't work for Mac. I would love to try to port it, but I'm no expert and don't really know what could be wrong. Wondering if other people would know what could be done to it, and help. It'd be really nice to be able to have it.
Thank you!
p-rec isn't open source afaik so it's impossible to port
best would be to write a new plugin
The problem with that would be getting it signed by valve so it runs in vac secured mode.

no one's tried, i'm sure they wouldn't mind

Is the old prec signed?

How hard is it? Anybody care to look into it? We could do a multiple person op.

Any plugins which need to run while you are in a vac secured server need to be signed by valve or they won't load.
Imo you should just talk to the guy who made it in the first place, chances are it only requires it to be tweaked slightly and recompiled.

I have added him, and I'm also talking to the tf team, to see if the work could be reviewed and signed. (to not work in vain)
Will update.
Paging Suyo, did you ever get the original code from this thread http://teamfortress.tv/thread/3562/where-can-i-contact-orange-creator-of-prec
As to how simple it is to rewrite P-REC... it's actually simple to write a cross-platform plugin given all of the interfaces given in the SDK.
I was going to write it myself (complete with new features), but I haven't started yet due to being busy with StatusSpec and research for a new project. If there is interest, though, I'll work on it and see what I can come up with.

Don't do anything yet, as your work could be in vain, since if Valve doesn't take it, we won't be able to use it. I've emailed them and I'm waiting for a reply.
Cheers.
I coded a cross-platform recording plugin a while ago when Valve first ported tf2 to Linux. At the time, I emailed Valve asking for a plugin signature, but got no response back. Since that time, other tf2 players have messaged me about it and even tried contacting Valve themselves. None of them got a response back.
Given this, I wouldn't expect anything from them, but it wouldn't hurt to try again.

He doesn't want to share it because he says the code is so bad it won't help anyone.
