EDIT: Or you can keep the video part exactly as it is by toggling on Video -> Direct stream copy, instead of Full processing mode. This saves having to spend the time re-encoding the whole video again.
If I select Direct Stream Copy, will virtualdub still join all .avis into a single one, or keep them separated?
Because if they do the latter, I don't see a reason for trying this out.
Lol wuuuuut, for real?
I finished recording the video with the built in AVI recorder. 1 hour and 25 minutes gave me a total of 14.4GB. (that's fine, I was expecting more)
But when I tried to join everything together with the audio through virtualdub, 5 minutes of video alone gave me a total of 20GB!!!! That's really overkill. If only 5 minutes is already bigger than the whole video, then just imagine 01h/25m? My whole HD would probably not even have enough space for that. So I aborted the operation.
Is there not a way to join/sync the stuff and still make it small?
Okay, I'll try all of this shortly.
I'm using the Camstudio codec. Take a look at this:
What Algorithm should I pick? LZO or GZIP?
Also, what Level should I put? Does this Level thing work for both LZO and GZIP or only for GZIP?
I'm kinda giving up on this built in AVI thing... it's too much pain for me and not worth it.
So, I was trying to use FRAPS with PSXjin but when I try to record stuff, the video gets a black border around it, like this:
I'm suspecting it has to do with poor resolution choices. What configurations should I use on the emulator so that FRAPS won't record with those black borders?
Hello. I want to use the "Record AVI" feature from PSXjin, but I can't find a good codec for that. Every one I tried so far gave me a really bad video quality...
So, can someone recommend me one that gives me perfect quality? I want to record at 480p or 720p (if possible).
I think the main priority for now is making it compatible with windows 7. (if that's even possible)
Better to leave the rest for later (i.e: mouse compatibility and stuff)
I don't know what could have caused a desync. I guess you didn't use hex editing? (modifying some inputs directly in the movie file outside of the emulator, often used to copy/paste things like whole levels after going back to redo them).
Sorry, I'm new on this stuff so I dunno how to hex edit. Is there not a tutorial about it or something?
Lemme see if I got it right, first I'd correct the part that desynced, then copy the rest of the movie and splice everything together?

My guess is that you did it mostly in real time/slow motion, and the emulator had a problem at one point with the inputs or saving/loading a state.
I did like 90% of the movie at 50% speed. So, that's what caused the desync?

I seem to remember LUA save/load state functions being broken, if you did something with LUA of that sort, perhaps that can be to blame.
Not sure if I used this LUA thing. I think I just used save/load state and slowdown normally.
I'm sorry, but... really, doesn't anyone have a clue about what happened...?
It's just that if I don't get help from here, I don't know where else to ask.
The emulator is VBA-RR v24 svn480, and the movie is:
Length: 01:46:25
Frames: 383129
Re-record Count: 3556
It desynced for me on fourth boss battle (Phoenix Magnion).
What's more strange is that Mega Man Zero 1 didn't desync for me. What could have caused the issue?
Thank you guys, it worked. I have one question, tho.
I have a movie here with the game 70% completed or so, and I plan to resume recording later. But once I do it, I'll activate the cheat codes as well. Since the codes weren't there from the beginning, will that screw up the movie (make it desync)?
Well, I found those cheat values and I'd like to add it to my game. (Rockman x6):
All parts collected:
800CE600 FFFF
FFFF 800CE602
9999 souls:
270F 80041F74
80041F76 2403
How can I add them? On the "tools" section there is RAM search, RAM poke, Cheat Editor... etc, and I don't know what I'm supposed to use.
I was told that Hourglass won't work with all PC games even if you're running it on a Win XP 32 bits machine, but "it's possible as long as you modify it".
Is there any tutorial teaching how to modify Hourglass in order to make it work with the more problematic games? Or does it take really advanced programming knowledge?
The game is "Cotton - Fantastic Night Dreams" (for PCE CD)
The Bizhawk version I'm using is 1.5.3. And I dunno how to check the core. PCEHawk by vecna?
Wow pls. Just tried it out...
And I thought FBA-rr was a bad emulator. I've never seen so much desync in my life, seriously, this thing didn't record a SINGLE frame correctly.
Either I'm not doing stuff right or this "rerecording emulator" is just utter trash.
Why is the audio of Bizhawk so dreadfully low?
I put the volume at 100 on the Emulator, plus almost at the max on my speakers and I still can barely hear the music. Is there not a way to circumvent this?

I just found this article with some good information on how to configure the emulator properly, but it's in Japanese.
Can someone with enough knowledge about the language translate it?
Title says all. I'm interested on some PS2 games, but I read that the emulator is still highly experimental. Does it really desync a lot like FBA-rr and stuff like that?
What Algorithm should I pick? LZO or GZIP?
Also, what Level should I put? Does this Level thing work for both LZO and GZIP or only for GZIP?
I'm suspecting it has to do with poor resolution choices. What configurations should I use on the emulator so that FRAPS won't record with those black borders?
