I'm surprised you haven't ran into other problems with that setting (probably have and didn't know it)  I would LOVE to be done with 8.3, but too many old compilers, etc. in use.....

--- Quote from: donnyj on February 23, 2005, 10:26:01 am ---could you kindly try movieloops 3 mode and see if you get the detected loop inserted into the VDB file?

I really want to test out the new detection.

Also, I don't understand how changing the MMM portion would change the actual loops?  I am saying that the physical frame numbers have changed with hand-optimized values  ???

Keep up the awesome work!

I am sorry Buddabing, I am not communicating well here.  Could you please show me how to run zookeep with both loop detection and running until maxframe is met?

P.S.  In my own defence I just had nose surgery yesterday, so I am even less coherent than normal (scarey eh?)

Modify your batch.bat like Silver recommended:

@if not exist "D:\Documents and Settings\David Pritchett\Desktop\movies" mkdir "D:\Documents and Settings\David Pritchett\Desktop\movies\movies"
@if exist "D:\Documents and Settings\David Pritchett\Desktop\movies\movies\%1.avi" goto end
time /T
@mame %1 -window -makemovie -resolution %2 -wavwrite %1.wav
@if not exist %1.vdb goto end
@\virtualdub\virtualdub /s"%1.vdb" /x
@del %1.wav
@del %1.vdb
@del /Q moviesnp\*.png
@move /Y %1.avi "D:\Documents and Settings\David Pritchett\Desktop\movies\movies"
time /T
:end

I strongly recommend you use a simpler file name, such as given in the sample batch.bat on the first page, because I'm not sure if the directory creation part will work.

Listgen is designed to generate the movieloops parameter. So, if you use the default batch.bat, manually edit the makemovies.bat so that each call to batch.bat uses movieloops 3 instead of 1 or 2.

So, each line of makemovies.bat should say something like:
batch zookeep 320x240 3 0 0
for -movieloops 3

Then, in your mame.ini, set -maxmovielength to whatever you want.

Please post back with any more problems. Hope you recover quickly.

thanks for the recovery comment!!!  me too!!!  lots of pain and bleeding

the screen output looks like everything went ok:

<snip>
10-frame match detected between frame 3912 and 9364
movie will run between frames 3903 and 9355
max movie length reached, generating movie between frames 996 and 3729
Average FPS: 29.054363 (9501 frames)

but the vdb isn't....

<snip>
VirtualDub.video.SetRange(0,0);
<snip>
VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddRange(0,0);
<snip>

Do you have the most recent binary? It's dated 2/22/05. Also, you can look at the log file (run mame with -log) and see what some of the movie options are set to.  Look for "Movie options set:"

donnyj:
I built it from the source 2-22, is the binary different than what is created by compiling the source?

Movie options set:
   movieloops=3, moviesquare=0, moviethreshold=2
   minmoviestart=0, minmovielength=800, maxmovielength=10000
   movieaudio=1, movievideo=3, moviesnap_directory=E:\mamesnaps\4dwarrio
   moviestartframe=0, movieendframe=0, moviematchlength=10
   movieskipblack=1
