it reboots immediately after running buddamame -makemovie....

I don't buy the "system taxing" part because it's very consistent, always when I run this ROM, and no other that I have found, and always as soon as I start it. My cab comp has been stable and runs pretty cool (47 deg C under load).
 It's possible that it's because of a "flaw" in the comp, but it's got to be very subtle such as generating something that this particular version of the graphics drivers don't like, or something of the sort.  It could be a weird interaction with the sound drivers (Maddog 5.1 in 2.1 mode),  antivirus (AVG), or any number of other things.
I'm not going to worry about it.

I may try it on another comp later, since this is one of the games that's popular with the kids.

are you guys happy with the maxmovielength of 10000 or do you run with something different from the default? just wondering, not saying it's a bad default.

Silver,
I think the virtualdub errors may be my own fault.  I checked 1.6.4 on another machine.  If I see something I'll let you know.

I'm very happy with 10000.

I need to rerun my entire movie collection and then see what exceptions still exist.

For movies in front ends, 10000 should be adequate to hold your attention while selecting a game, thats 2 1/2 minutes or more of video.

yes I agree that  it's plenty long for an FE. I just also use the movies for screensaver and I was curious to know if anyone saw a benefit to extend them.

On that same topic, I have been trying to make the movie double their size (at least for the smaller ones) because some look awfull when played (mostly) fullscreen on my 19" monitor.
For the life of me I can't figure it out though :( . I can get mame to render them twice as large on the screen but the movie still ends up smaller.
I tried all kinds of combinations of -artres 2, -zoom 4, manually multiplying the window resolution by 2, etc...

Come to think of it I haven't looked at the virtualdub command file. Maybe buddmame write the resolution in there regardless of what the mame command line does?

I may not not like the results (quality or movie size) once I get it working but I would really like to give this a try. Any help would be appreciated.


Also, for an FE, seeing the NeoGeo animated logo everytime you select a NeoGeo game is kindof annoying, but short of specifying the start frame manually, there isn't much we can do about it is there?
