You mean fast-forwarding when playing it back? Most emulators have a button for Turbo or Throttle. Which emulator are you using?

If your system runs Dolphin slowly, then pressing the turbo/fast-forward/speedup button doesn't make Dolphin go faster. You can try to dump AVI with Dolphin, so you have an encode that you can play back at normal speed. I don't know how to do that though so you are on your own.

If you want to use FractalFusion's suggestion of dumping an encode from Dolphin, you'll want to go into the Graphics settings, Advanced tab, and check Dump Frames. Then you can play back your TAS to make an encode of it. This will dump only the video though; you can dump the audio as well, but it will be separate from the video and you would have to combine them manually.

Any of them except Uncompressed should be fine. You don't need perfect quality if you just want to review your work. Microsoft Video 1 or Cinepak would be good choices.

Lagarith or CamStudio codec would be better...

That seems like rather insane overkill just to be able to watch in full speed.

Well, Camstudio Codec is quite fast.

I was trying to make it as easy for the OP as possible. I don't know whether he/she even knows how to install codecs or not, so I suggested some built-in ones.

for the compression quality 1/100 what would I put that it or does that not matter? cause its going at the same speed for all the choices you said, I must be doing something wrong.

A lower compression quality means the quality of the video will be worse (more pixelly), but it will still dump at the same speed. A compression of 90 should be fine for what you want to do.

How about instead of wild mass guessing, the original poster could explain in more detail what is it that he wants? The original question was quite vague.

Warp, no one's guessing here. The original question was already clarified and answered:

Because there's no way to "speedup" the run inside Dolphin, we're working with the OP on an alternative solution, encoding the run so that it will play back at full speed.

The speed at which the emulator encodes is irrelevant. The goal of the encode is to produce an AVI file. An AVI file is something that you can watch later at full speed in a media player (Windows Media Player/VLC/Media Player Classic/etc.).
