Mame by default is using the snap directory and there doesn't seem to be anyway to change it.

That was a typo. :)  I had it spelled correctly. 

I reproduced the same problem I was having earlier with cotton2.  I was using columns 97.  It has the same resolution as cotton2.  I noticed that right away after the batch file starts that in the command line window that I get the error 'The system cannot find the path specified', and this error repeats 6 times.  If I open my snap directory it shows the png's starting at col00006.png,  the first 6 are missing.  Later on in the process I get the same error again.  At this point the error will repeat 100's of times. 

I am not sure what is going on but it sounds like a problem with my system.  Also I noticed the png's are at the resolution of 352x224 and not 704x480.  Not sure if this is right or not. I have been using the mame.90 exe that I downloaded a couple of days ago.  Maybe I will try downloading again.

Not sure about the missing 6 pngs (sounds odd - unless your system has a delay when creating the dir??? or if the dir is already made - it does sound odd.) But don't worry about the resolution - there are loads of games where mame reports its big, but the *actual* screen is smaller.  Not sure why...

I just downloaded the .90 binary again and replaced only the exe and everything seems to be working much better now.  I tried columns97 again and I did not get the error.   

I noticed something strange though. I opened up the snap directory and the first six pngs were there.  I noticed that the resolution of the 1st six pngs were at the resolution of 320x224 and then png's 6-1174 were at the resolution 352x224 and the remainder of the pngs were at the 704x480 resolution.
 Before when I had the problems the first six pngs would not be in the snap directory if I stopped the movie somewhere between frames 6-1174.  If I stopped the movie between 1174-10000 then frames 0-1174 would be missing.  Not sure what would be causing this.

One last question.  With the new binary what do I want to have the moviecompression set to?  If possible it might not hurt to see all of your settings in the mame.ini.  There are alot of new options in there.  Not sure what moviethreshold is for either?

Thanks!
