ok, this will be more difficult than I first thought :(
Will have to pick the frame numbers from the PNGs, NOT from the AVI's correct?
Also, is ???00000.png frame 1 or is ???00001.png?
What is the prefererred video? Just the attract sequence (before or after stuff like "NEO GEO" logo)? Or is it from power on until it starts to repeat back to some point again? In other words, until it starts to actually repeat?
Or do you wait for a repeat and start from there until it repeats again?

Ok, I am starting from ZZYZZYX and moving towards A
Noting, start, stop, and title frames
My hope is that when i have this list, I can feed it back into MMM and it will return the AVI's.... ?
Because right now, I am just creating pictures only, skipping both audio and avi creation.....
Definately a slow and tedious process ;D

Hey good plan - keep posting with your progress to make sure people don't repeat work....
Also, it may be worth establishing some guidelines about where to start stop attracts - eg some games have a several minute loop - should you take it all or just a shorter attract? etc..etc...
I suggest you save your work in a simple csv txt file with something like:
romname,startframe,endframe
romname,startframe,endframe.....
to make it nice and easy to use/merge later on.

Agreed. Unless anyone has any objections, I'll modify ListGen to read this CSV and spit out a new batch file which will call batch.bat with the start and end frames, if they are in the CSV, or with the original parameters, if not.
This requires adding some % parameters to batch.bat: a movieloops parameter (1 or 2 depending on if the game is in the CSV), a moviestartframe parameter, and a movieendframe parameter.
Donny - I would suggesting starting with the games in the ssf.txt file and working backwards like you are doing.

Buddabing
