MAME Movie Maker released

BuZz880:
Not sure how close to 100% you guys want to get this thing it definitely works very well as-is.

Keep in mind my list that I am working with for testing so far includes only lightgun games, trackball games, games newly added since .80 and games that support 3 or more players plus a few stragglers that wouldn't be there if I tightened up the sql a bit.  Next phase I will be trying to do my favorites list and some of the more popular games. 


That said, I still get the -100 error on these:
anteatg
caterplr
griffon
qbtrktst
vaportrx
slither
teamqb
videopin
warlords

and a couple minutes of blank screen but full sound with these:
cbaj
shngmtkb (this is mahjong or something so i doubt anyone will care too much)

Far less likely to get the above mentioned errors on movievideo 2 rather than 3 though this about doubles the file sizes.

If the xvid avis made on YOUR computer playback fine on someone elses computer - then obviously they are being made correctly, then it is a playback issue:

1) Check the colour depth of your desktop - try setting it to 32bit if it is lower. It sounds like you do not have enough colours available to playback.

2) Open the Xvid Decoder options (should be in start menu after installing Xvid) and make sure Film effect is off (although should not look like you are saying)

3) Goto display properties and turn off hardware acceleration, then try playback.

If none of the above work, or avis made on your pc do NOT play back fine on ANOTHER pc, then open the XVID encoder options and click on "set defaults" and try again. The code includded in the Vdub script should actually override these anyway, but its possible we missed something.

I'll look into these. Annoyingly sounds like another weird resolution that will need to be added to the workaround.

@BuZz880
All of these - apart from vaportrx - work perfectly 1st time for me using Buddabings most recent, a few posts up. Try opening virtualdub, opening the Xvid video compression, clicking on Set defaults and then retrying...

If they still don't work, post with more info here - or even zip all the pngs for a game that does not work - along with the .vdb file - and email them to me: Silver@silverfoxy.plus.com

VaporTrx is a resolution problem.

@Buddabing
 VaporTrx creates PNGs at 511x256. The 'capbowl' fix will work for this one.

On this note (geeky tech bit coming up) - the odd-resolution error is to do with MPEG4 compression (not just Xvid) and due to Macroblock pixel sizes. Xvid appears to 'deal' with sizes down to 2x2, which basically means it does not seem to like resolutions that are not divisible by 2 (all the ones that fail so far have an odd number of pixels in x or y, and the fix supplied simply knocks one pixel off x or y to make it even.) I'd like to test this more, but you may prefer to simply check for an Even number of pixels and adjust if they are odd - this would future-proof the fix I believe.

If that does not make sense, I'll supply more info and examples.....
Note you have to go by the size of png. Vaportrx reports that it is 512x400 size, but the pngs are all 511x256......
