This is really confusing me. I didn't wanna ask about it, but I don't think it's me doing something stupid any more, just some glitch or something. Certainly there must be someone with an answer.
Anyway, I tried recording a movie in Brawl, and when I play it back, Dolphin decompresses the state, and immediately ends the movie.
Here are the steps I followed:
Started the game
Started a match
Emulation>Start Movie
Goofed around a bit
Emulation>Stop
Saved movie file
Closed Dolphin
Re-opened Dolphin
Emulation>Play Movie...
Chose the file.
That's it. I must be doing something wrong. I tried everything. I tried recording from the start, tried a GC game, tried disabling everything pointed out
here, tried recording with Read only checked and unchecked, tried playing with Read only checked and unchecked.
I read you could save a state right after starting the movie, but how do you choose to play back from
that save? And is that even the answer to this problem? I don't think so, Dolphin can load the save just fine, it just can't play the movie.
Nothing works. Am I really recording it correctly or what?
