I have the movieloops set to 1 but for alot of the videos it seems that the loop is not detected. Also I noticed on occasion I get an error during the process at the point where it looks for the, e.g. cot00000.png and says it can not find it. I open up the snap directory and the reason it can't find the specified snapshot is because it is no longer there. It seems as if the first 2000 or so of the 10000 snapshots have been deleted. I have no idea why this happens?

Okay, please post the relevant portions of your batch.bat and your mame.ini, and what rom you are using. Also, try adding -moviesnap_directory snap to your mame.ini.
Popcorrin:
It has happened on cotton boomerang for instance. It seems to happen with the higher resolution games.
My batch file and mame ini. are below.
@if exist f:\videos\%1.avi goto end
time /T
@rem @copy /Y dummyvdb.txt %1.vdb
@start /min /wait mame %1 -window -makemovie -resolution %2 -wavwrite %1.wav
@start /min /wait \virtualdub\virtualdub /s"%1.vdb" /wait /x
@rem @mame %1 -window -makemovie -resolution %2 -wavwrite %1.wav
@rem @\virtualdub\virtualdub /s"%1.vdb" /wait /x
@del %1.wav
@del snap\*.png
@move /Y %1.avi f:\videos
time /T

OK, not sure what's going on. Downloaded your compiled mame v.89 and the other necessary apps. Made the bat files, just like you say, made mame.ini just like what you say (almost--more on that in a minute) and last night things seemed to be going fine. I was making movies. Went to bed thinking it was churning away and when I got up it was stuck on 1944 needing me to type "OK"--I had forgotten to add skip_warnings. Did that, so now the whole setup complies with what's at the beginning of this thread and it won't make any movies. It will startup and run and just keep running. I've been trying to make a mspacman movie for more than an hour with no luck. I can clearly see that it's cycled through the screens several times.
One other thing, am I supposed to be seeing error messages in the command window? First it says "unable to open the keyboard device (error 32) then a bunch of "access denied"s. When it worked yesterday, I would also get "unable to close the keyboard device (error 6)" and "System cannot find the file specified".
It's a great app with promise. I'm sure I'm just overlooking something dumb, but not sure what it is.

OK, upgraded to your compiled version .90 and it only took 4 minutes to do mspacman, so progress!
