Have you ever had problems watching the site's avi's? Also, what compression codec are you using?
No the sites avi's work fine and i'm using camstudio lossless codec v1.0. I've also tried using other codecs but they did not work also. I can record on arcade emulators like mame and HK²V9. Just not mupen for some reason
Did you select it when it asked you for the video codec? If so, then maybe you set the bitrate too high, sometimes it won't work properly (for me) if bitrate is more than 3000 kbps.

i did select it when i chose to record avi and it still didnt work. Even if i put full frames uncompressed it still doesnt work. It records the sound fine but it's jsut a black screen instead of the video.
Hmm ... for some reason I have x264.exe on my comp but it doesn't show up in Mupen's video codecs list. Did you install it as part of mencoder or something?

1. When recording do you get any video in the emulator?
2. Tried a different video plugin?
3. Tried redownloading mupen?
All I can think of.

Which OS are you using? If it's Vista that may explain it. I've heard that there are AVI problems with it. That's about all I can think of.
LG - It sounds like you downloaded the CLI version. You need to download and install the GUI version and it should show.
How come when I try to capture something in Mupen using x264 it just causes Mupen to crash and then to completely shutdown, it seems to work fine with other emulators.

Yeah i'm using Vista.
While this may very well be your problem, in order for this to be the case I think you would have had to have the original release to manufacturer Vista (e.g one of the first batch). I was one of those (un)lucky people. :)
There are ways around it ranging from copying files from XP x64 to doing odd environment variable things if you're desperate.

I'm using r565, which is about 8 months out of date. It's served me well, but you'd have a tough time finding it.
The latest is r655 so you should try that, it's on the page I linked to. However, if it still doesn't work it'll probably be down to your computer. I've found x264 to be quite tempermental at times.

is that a question or a statement?
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

How can I make the x264 codec to show in Mupen? I have downloaded and installed MeGUI but it doesn't show. I also have .NET Framework 2.0, AviSynth 2.5 and x264.exe.
