A complimentary support thread for (MameMovieMaker)
mccoy178:
Based on this seventeen page thread, could you please explain the process on how to create mame movies.
Buddabing:
Just read the first post in this thread.

I believe I have everything installed, including buddamame .99 binary. I made a .bat of the roms from listgen 1.0 of Screamings. I made the batch.bat, and moviemaker.bat (just incase my rom list is not the right way to do this). When I run moviemaker.bat, the first rom flashes quickly then the command prompt shuts down. When I run moviemaker.bat that has the entire rom list from listgen, it does go through all the games, but it says -makemovie is not a valid command. So, what am I missing? I have carefully read that first post about fifty times, and I'm stumped. I noticed someone mentioned movie.zip in a later post, but I find no such link anywhere.

Okay, let's try to break down the problem into pieces.
First, try to launch mame from a command line:
mame gridlee
This will verify that your rom paths are correct.
Make sure you have a BuddaMAME binary. To do this run:
mame -showusage > usage.txt
Then edit usage.txt and search for movie. If you don't find movie, you don't have BuddaMAME.
Next, comment out all lines in your batch file except gridlee. In edit, do a global replace on @call with @rem @call. Then uncomment out gridlee.
Now run moviemaker.bat from a command prompt.
If that doesn't create a movie for gridlee, try removing the ampersands (@) from the first character of each line of batch.bat. That might give us more information on what the problem is.
Make sure you have VirtualDub and Xvid installed. You can't create movies with BuddaMAME without some kind of supported video codec and a recent version of VirtualDub.
