MAME Movie Maker released

An empty makemovies.bat file means that whatever filtering listgen is doing, its not what you want....

I set the listgen.ini to audit roms (ie only try and make movies of roms you actually have) so if you are pointing the roms dir to a duff dir I expect you would get this result.

Also check the filter.sql file. there are lots of filtering options in here, but it should work fine if you leave it untouched.

Try running listgen from the commandline, change the "silent 1" to "silent 0" in listgen.ini to see what its doing.

I found that it wasn't using my roms folder for some reason - it actually didn't take my settings such as putting the avi's into movies folder.  But it did mean that vdub ran and I have changed the batch.bat file to the following which works

@echo %1
@if exist C:\mame\%1.avi goto end
@if exist C:\mame\nvram\%1.nv goto rungame
@mame %1 -window -noartwork -resolution %2 -nothrottle -ftr 100
: rungame
@time /T
@mame %1 -window -noartwork -makemovie -resolution %2 -wavwrite %1.wav -movieloops %3 -moviestartframe %4 -movieendframe %5
@if not exist %1.vdb goto end
@start /min /wait C:\mame\virtualdub\vdub.exe /s"%1.vdb" /x
@del %1.wav
@del /Q moviesnp\*.png
@del %1.vdb
@move /Y %1.avi C:\mame\movies\
: End

Silver:
Could you highlight the bits you had to change so I can update the program?

Thanks

NIVO:
I have to say after many headaches and long hours last night, I finally have this working. Big thanks going to cdbrown, who helped me setup some of the strings that were improper. Ill leave it up to him to get you the data Silver, as he is better at this than me :)  All in all, thanks for everyones help.

Silver:
Ah spotted error#1:

@move /Y %1.avi C:\mame\movies\

I am missing the final "\" on the above line - thats why the movies where not moving (and probably overwriting each other).

I'll get this fixed asap. Apart from that, it seems to work with freshly download buddamame, listgen, vdub.

I was going to adapt the app to take control completely - no batch files at all, do all the configuring and program running directly, but actually I don't think there is much to be gained, and also this way allows easy tweaking of the files for anyone who wants and will make bug tracking far far easier.

Note there will be some games that do not make a successful vid (most do). If you come across any that are not listed in ssf.txt/boundry please let me know and I will get it sorted.
