So, I got JCP-RR working and recorded a movie (which itself was difficult) and I'm trying to play it back now, and get it saved in an actual video form. I know how to load the movie file, but when I play it back, it plays really slowly (the same speed at which I recorded the game). How would I force it to play back at actual game speed? I also have the dump file for the movie, but I'm not sure what I should do with it. I have dumpconvert downloaded, but don't know how to use it at all. Can anyone help me with these things? Thanks.

JPC-rr plays back slowly because JPC-rr is very slow. dumpconvert is a command-line tool, and instructions to use it are given here. It can convert your dump file to a video file (like AVI, MKV, MP4) and audio file (like WAV, OGG) for further mixing or encoding. To make simple lossless video and audio files, run dumpconvert with the following parameters: 
dumpconvert --video-width=((x)) --video-height=((y)) --video-framerate=((fps)) --output-wav=audio.wav --output-x264=video.avi,crf=0, ((dump))
where you replace "((x))" with the horizontal video resolution, "((y))" with the vertical video resolution, "((fps))" with the video frame rate, and "((dump))" with the name of your dump file. See also the examples for parameters given in the link above. If you don't know how to use the command line, then look up 'how to use the command line' in Google.

Thanks for the help. I used this line: 
dumpconvert --video-width=640 --video-height=400 --video-framerate=60 --audio-delay=1.895 --output-wav=audio.wav --output-x264=raw.avi,crf=0,fullrange=on dump.jmd
And it created the correct audio file, but didn't create any raw.avi. I checked the emulator settings and they look OK. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

If it didn't create the avi file, then you're missing the x264 encoder. Download it (from e.g. here), rename to x264.exe (if necessary), and put it in the same folder as dumpconvert.exe. Then try running the same command again.

I downloaded that and tried all 4 versions posted, but unfortunately it's still not making the .avi file. Strangely, when I use the "quick 'n' dirty" method described in that post, it does create the video.mkv file, but when I try to play it, it has 0 duration.
