NOTE: These steps should work in theory, but I can't actually test them myself, because Dolphin segfaults when trying to run a game in my virtual machine. The configuration dialog might be a little intimidating, but once you understand it, you have dozens of codecs at your command. Basically, they put a whole lot of codecs into one for easy use. If you have a dual/quad core, the multithreading mode can really help things go a little faster.įfdshow: I actually think CCCP might have the VfW front-end for this codec, but I'm not sure. Lagarith: My personal choice for lossless compression. If you don't know which codec to use, get this. Xvid: Works great for videos of all sizes, and offers good compression. Good for just testing the feature out, but I don't recommend using it for stuff you might upload.

Microsoft Video 1: I'm pretty sure all Windows computer have this installed. Just remember, the dumper currently overwrites the files in there, so back them up somewhere if you want to save them before trying again. Using a program like VirtualDub, you can connect the files together and get one complete video, and further manipulate from there. You should find files named framedump0.avi, framedump1.avi, etc., each about 2gb in size or smaller. When you check the User/Dump/Frames folder under your emulator folder. When you're done, either uncheck the box in the graphics dialog or simply stop the emulator. You can rescue this video, but it's a complicated process that somebody much smarter than me can explain. (If it does crash, you will most likely get a video file without any header data, making it unplayable. (I tried to fix the crash, but I only got it to happen once, and I doubt it was a one-time fluke.)Ģ.

Doing so will either corrupt the dump beyond any repair or crash the emulator. While recording, make sure you don't do any of these two things:ġ. Game playback will be significantly slower than normal, since you computer has to deal with encoding video and writing it to your hard disk along side the game playing.

This guide won't go into how to configure your codec, but there are plenty of guides if you search Google or something. Choose the codec of your choice from the dropdown menu and configure it as necessary. Whatever you do, DON'T DUMP UNCOMPRESSED FRAMES! this will fill up even the mightiest of hard drives in no time. On Windows, when you check the box and start playback, a window like this will appear: LINUX/MAC: MEncoder (you can also use ffmpeg, but MEncoder should work fine for most people.) Also note that on 64-bit Dolphin, you will need 64-bit codecs.)

WINDOWS: A Video for Windows codec (CODEC PACKS LIKE CCCP WILL NOT WORK! THOSE ONLY INCLUDE DIRECTSHOW FILTERS, NOT THE CODECS FOR ENCODING. Video encoded at about 1000 kb/s will probably take up about 8 Mb per minute.) * Lots of hard drive space (Making lossless dumps very easily jump into several gigabytes, even for only a couple minutes of actual video.

(Must be case sensative on Linux/Mac.) The patch missed this and will probably be fixed in a later patch. When in the Dump folder, make a new folder named "Frames".

* Check the User directory of your Dolphin install and the Dump folder under that. * Dual-core disabled (for a constant framerate) This is supposed to be used in conjunction with the input recorder/player, but since that currently has syncing problems, it won't help much there. In the future, capturing audio and other features will be added. This is basically a very simple way for capturing video from the emulator, and is currently being developed by me. Starting with r2782, there's a new feature in your video dialog:
