It has been a long time since I played GT4 on PS2. Many years. However, this Christmas I decided I had been a good boy so I bought myself a PS3 320Gb, a Logitec Driving Force GT wheel and a copy of GT5 to go with my 42" Panasonic HD TV. Boy oh boy. This is so much better than I remembered. I have only been using Arcade mode so far. Only thing is, you know when you save a a race replay at the end of the race? How do you reload them so you can play them back afterwards? I click the Save option and it does indeed let me save them and reports that they have been saved successfully. But where are they? I have been through every menu sequence in GT5. Can't find anything that lets me list and replay these saved races. (I'm using the buttons on the wheel, by the way. They all seem to function ok which isn't surprising because this wheel is allegedly designed for GT5). Can you guys give me a menu trail or something? Would really appreciate it. Thanks. :)
 
On the left hand side of the GT Life screen, there should be an icon like a camera. It's on there.
 
Got it. Thank you very much. I didn't look in the GT Mode section. Only been using Arcade mode until I get my racing back up to scratch. I can see that this is also the place to copy them to a flash drive. All the best. 👍 :)

It won't work to copy them to the flash drive, there won't be anything to copy. Race replays in GT5 are not movies such as a .mov, .avi, .mpg. They are simply instructions for the game to re-render the movie within the GT5 software environment. You'll need an external video capture device in order to record the replay as it's happening then you can load that data onto a PC.

Still images are a different matter. Those are coded as .jpg and can be saved to the PS3 XMB and then sent to flash drives for use elsewhere.
