how do I use mencoder?
Ok, so, I downloaded mencoder...
and put it in the same directory as my ZSNES 1.43 WIP
I recorded a movie file on "reset" and stopped it after I got to the end of the level.
With the same movie slot selected, I selected the "XVID lossless" codec and pressed the "dump movie" button with all of the options on the right side checked...
Now it begins to play my movie again, opens up a dos window quickly, and then closes said dos window...
Now I have a 5kb AVI file in my main Zsnes folder... and it won't play on WMP...
does anybody know what i'm doing wrong?

Mencoder changes its options more often than not. Using the latest mencoder SVN version is the best bet for best compatibility with ZSNES. You can alternatively tweak zmovie.cfg if you want to use an older version.

You checked all the buttons on the right?
And you have LAME?
And you have LAME?

ok, I now downloaded ZSNES WIP 1.50 and re-recorded my video file... and i'm still having the same problems as before when trying to dump the video...
can anybody tell me how to config the mencoder options or how to tweak zmovie.cfg?
also, when I playback my movie in ZSNES, it starts out exactly like I played it, but then it goes into a completely different tangent when I hit the part of the yoshi's island level where you "hit fuzzy" and "get dizzy"

In other words you're using a completely broken LAME.Vigorousjammer wrote:I have LAME, both .exe and the .dll

There's a fair chance that the YI hack to keeps some levels like that sane is probably the culprit.
Make sure mencoder.exe and lame.exe (from the movie thread) is in the folder (I'm using the 12/19/06 SVN build) and it works just fine.

Nach has mentioned it before.. you could try to search the zboard for the response. It doesn't quite work as intended to say the least.Firon wrote:Nach: why would that LAME be broken? There's a lame_enc.dll that some programs use (stand-alone from the exe), and typically the binary releases of LAME have the exe and dll bundled together.
