Mupen runs great but everytime I record an avi and replay it, it just records the sound and no video. Is there a way to fix this?
I have Vista and I had this same problem.. right-click on your Mupen64.exe and click properties. Go to the compatibility tab and check the box "Disable desktop composition". Each time you open and close Mupen64 it should blacken your desktop for a second and that's how you know it's checked.
Record using x264 on the default properties in 320 x ?? resolution and it should work perfectly fine with sound and everything. For a more compressed file size you'd have to ask someone else :(
Also make sure you are using VLC media player or Quicktime. Windows Media Player for me tends to just play the sound.

Just for further information, this exact solution USED to be in a stickied post in General. Upthorn provided a valid reason for it to remain, looks like he wasn't heard. For some reason I didn't link it here after I made it (perhaps I helped Agent007 on IRC instead): Post is available here.Bloobiebla wrote:

If you're just going to encode generally and not for published runs on the site, using VirtualDub and x264vfw will work nicely. Bear in mind x264vfw is unsupported officially, and can be buggy (if you use B-frames, be sure to turn "VD Hack" in its options when encoding inside VirtualDub, and to turn it OFF when encoding the run from the source emulator.)

This is likely because you don't have the required codec. x264vfw has a decoder built in also, or you can use FFDShow.
<adelikat> I am annoyed at my irc statements ending up in forums & sigs
