I have FCEU for Linux (Ubuntu), and I'm able to save movies and load movies in FCEU. The problem is, I want to convert the movies to AVIs, but I can't figure out where the actual FCM files are. Does anyone know where the movies are saved by default? Thanks.

FCM files are just lists of inputs at each frame of gameplay. They don't have video or audio encoded in them. What you'll need to do is capture the video and audio generated by the emulator while the movie is being played. I know the Windows version of FCEUX has a built-in facility for doing AVI capture. I don't know about the Linux version, though. If it does it'll be triggered by some commandline option.

Thanks OmnipotentEntity, but I just have FCEU, not FCEUX. I had FCEUX and I could access the movie files in the directory you mentioned, but I wasn't able to configure the controls properly with FCEUX. Is there a similar directory where FCEU movies are saved?

Thanks so much! I found the movie files in the ~/.fceultra/fcs directory.
