Hello,
Doing a TAS of Metroid Zero Mission using VBA. I've downloaded the latest version from here. I've binded save- and load states, and know how to record and change the emulator speed etc. But my problem is, when I watch the video afterwards(.avi) it shows everytime I've loaded a save state(if I did a mistake etc) and I dont want that. Is there a setting to fix this? I thought "Associate with save state" option would fix it, been trying to find out how to solve it but I can't. So Im asking you
Thanks

Record a movie (using save/loadstate while recording), then play the movie back from beginning in one go, dumping video.
This way there are no loadstates during playback that is captured to video.

Basically, record to .vbm (movie recording) first, then play the .vbm back with avi capture to get an .avi
Yeah, that worked! Say I want to run the whole game and then upload it to youtube, can I convert the .vbm file somehow? If I play some part today and want to continue tomorrow, can I fix so it doesn't look like I turned of the video/have to cut it etc.
Is it just me, or does it feel slightly faster in speed when you play the video you recorded in 50% speed, probably just feels like it because I played in slow motion lol.

It is just you. And when doing input, you should be using frame advance, not 50% speed (that's very fast).
Back in the old bad days, Famtasia didn't support frame advace, only slowdown to IIRC 3%. The results were pretty bad...

Im just pressing minus to 50%, how do I use frame advance? Dont know what it is
The only thing that happens when I press that button is that the speed goes up, say if I have 100% it goes to 115%. Throttle speed it says. I have a swedish keyboard though with letters like ÅÄÖ. I did find something called Frame Search on the letter Å. Im not sure I understand all this with Frame advance
Also I read the link that the admin posted, I record vbm now and from startup/bootup. I look in my input settings and Resume/Exit Recording is set to S and I can stop the recording but i cant resume it from that point using the S-button.
Edit: I found the Frame Advance button. It is set to Ctrl+N, im gonna see if I can change it to a single button now. Still I have problems with the Resume-recording part.
If you're using the latest VBA (either 23.6 or 24-M), it will tell you as soon as you press it whether it's on or off. If you've just turned it on, it will say "Movie now read-only", and if you've just turned it off, it will say "Movie now editable" and (edit) will appear after the frame counter.
If it's still not doing this, then check what key or key combination is assigned to the Read-Only Mode checkbox under Tools>Movie and either use that or set a new key combination to use this mode.
