MAME Movie Maker released

I've sent some new xvid settings to Buddabing that should roughly half the size of the videos. Xmen went from 90meg to about 48meg. Obviously some quality is lost, should look fine in small preview window though.

I'll try and look into the problems xvid is creating - I may make a few test avis and post them here for people to test to try and rule out some issues.

I'm thinking of using this tool to make my own video's.

Is it worth me using this tool yet, or hanging fire until the development progresses some more? I'm under the impression this process can take upto a week. is that correct?

I don't want to sacrifice my machine for that long if the tool isn't 99% yet.

Oh, & thanks to the guys who made this possible. It looks amazing

Zero_Hour:
I've been using MMM for the last few weeks, and I think that the results are already great for what I need. Yes, it will take you a while to generate a full set of vids, but I just set up batches to run at night or when I'm at work.

I've had minimal issues - and they were mostly related to user error.

I'd say go for it.

And thanks again Buddabing for an excellent tool.

I'd say its pretty good right now. Recent work has made the loop detection highly successful.

There is a current issue that the xvid videos seem to crash in some FE's - I'm looking into this now. It works in Mamewah for me, thats the only FE I've tried.

Do a test run of like 20 games you often play, and see if you are happy with the videos. You can set your own compression details, or use the defaults. If you use the defaults - they should be about to change to make the videos smaller so you could hang on for a day or so. Be aware a full set is quite large!

Even when there are 'errors' - ie the full attract mode is not detected - you often end up with a perfectly good attract video that is just not as long as the actual attract (look at dino.zip for an example).

Oh, and definately only create videos for parent roms (set unique 1 and useclones 0 in listgen.ini). This will save loads of space and time.

Anything I've missed anyone?
