Most computers released in the last 5 years at least should be able to handle screen recording and Brood War without streaming afaik. I find the final product to be more user-friendly in the sense that you can rewind and skip freely. I think the reason why this isn't being pursued now is because it is more convenient and popular to record your play through a program like OBS or Camtasia or what not.

I wasn't aware Adv had those features, that's very interesting. So, if a player at start was spamming Nexus -> Mining Probes -> Scouting Probe over and over while not sending any commands, it would still jump screen. If I'm not mistaken, Penguin Plug also centered on the selection and not the actual action. I used to like it, but you are talking WGT level of old tech. But it also had viruses and adware iirc which was really lame. There's was one launcher which seemed to have everything, including drawing paths on the screen from units to the destination that had been clicked on that was really fun to watch. There might be a plugin around that still simulates it in current launchers. It would like to see it automatically handled by the server some day. I think it's kind of sad no one after WGT thought it was worth it to get replays for every game, but it did add overhead on the player side. I watched a zillion replays of a good WGT Zerg back when it was a thing, since WGT mandated uploading replays of every game. There was another even older one which would work on any replay, but basically it just sort of centered the screen on whatever was being clicked or something like that.

The one people mentioned in this thread actually added information to the replay file and made it larger. #10 I used to like it, but you are talking WGT level of old tech.
