Hey there, I recorded some gameplay of SVC Chaos. Everything went fine and replaying the movie file syncs perfectly. But the moment I try to dump an .avi the playback desynchs at the first fight. What is the mistake I am doing? -/ I hope someone can help me because I never had this kind of problem before.

Yeah, FBA is kinda bad that dumping affects sync... Some encoders have had to deal with this, but I don't know the specifics...

At least this is a known problem. I hoped that I was doing something obviously wrong. Tried on 2 different PCs and it is impossible. Thanks for you answer, maybe someone got a solution later.

What might work (but is kinda tedious): 1) AVI Capture from start to first desync. 2) Play the movie without AVI capture and make a savestate a bit before it would desync. 3) Play back from that savestate while capturing AVI. The desync point might move to later point (or the movie would finish). 4) Stitch the two AVI captures together. Methods like this are used to deal with PCSX-RR (urgh) video capturing.

Thanks a lot for this kind of creative solution. I tried this full of motivation but unfortunately it is not working. Very strange... Watched it once again without recording and it is still not desyncing without recording. xD Just crazy.. Does this problem depends on the power of the PC? Could a faster PC be more successful?
