To watch? In MP, just create a game but use the replay file to watch it. You have to make a name for the game and a password as well. You can probably do a custom in SP and choose the replay file to watch as well.

No I mean like opening it with a program like windows media player on internet explorer or adobe. When you first install bw and dl a replay it asks which program you want to use to open up the file with. None of them programs I listed work. Isn't it winzip?

Get something like autoreplay installed so you don't have to manually save them all - they'll be in your starcraft folder.

BWChart charts replays, but you can't really watch them like you can in the BW client.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

BWChart or BWRepInfo to see the apm chart and stats in windows.

To actually play them, you open them from BW (not windows) like you do when you create a game from a map, but you do it with the replay instead.

Usually you'd put them in the folder "[...]/Starcraft/maps/replays/".

I usually watch StarCraft replays using StarCraft.

i guess we are a bit lost here. What are you asking specifically? If you can't watch a certain korean replay in the battlenet, try watching it in the Singleplayer.

my biggest issue with BW, was that i had so many replays and maps that I needed to categorize them into so many folders in order for them not to be cut off by the limit of files that you can view in single player. always had to watch replays in multiplayer as I got lazy categorizing them

There is no external program to watch Starcraft Replays. Replays are only command lists performed within Starcraft itself. If you want to watch a Starcraft game outside of the game, you'd have to record your screen and save this Screenrecording as whatever format you like.

Other than that you can search on Youtube or the Broodwar TLPD for VODs of Progamers to watch Starcraft games.

In conclussion: Get Starcraft to watch Starcraft.

Edit:
I just realized there is a very simplified way to watch a "game", only using the replay. You can get "BWChart", load up the replay and watch the minimap within BWChart. But this is not exactly like watching a game. I just want to be 100% correct.

iirc you could right click the selected replay file in BWChart and then choose to watch the replays, which would then start up BW and auto-load the replay

To watch it, you don't open it that way. You need to run BW and open the replay from there like the way you'd pick a map on multiplayer. Or you could do it in Single player

You're correct. BWChart would make a copy of whatever replay you were watching, then place it in maps/replays/!bwchart and name it !replay. As far as I know, BWChart still works.
