Starting with version 0.65, DOSBox allows you to create movies out of screen
|
|
|
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To record a movie, you have to press CTRL-ALT-F5.
|
|
|
|
|
To stop/end the recording, you have to press CTRL-ALT-F5 again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To play the recorded movie, you need a movie player which can handle the
|
|
|
|
|
ZMBV codec. MS Windows users can find this codec in the start menu entry of
|
|
|
|
|
DOSBox. Users of Linux and other OSes should look for a movie player that
|
|
|
|
|
uses the ffmpeg libary (you may need to update or ask your distribution to
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade).

FAQ:
|
|
|
|
|
Q: During the display of the movies the sound is lagging.
|
|
|
|
|
A: Check your display properties to see whether your refresh rate is set to
|
|
|
|
|
at least 70 hz. Try playing the movie in virtualdub (http://virtualdub.sf.net)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: Why does the resulting movie consist of multiple files?
|
|
|
|
|
A: Each time the game changes resolution, DOSBox creates a new movie file,
|
|
|
|
|
because a movie file can only contain one resolution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Q: Can I set the cycles higher than my PC can handle during recording?
|
|
|
|
|
A: Yes. During recording, the game might play slowly and stuttering, but the
|
|
|
|
|
resulting movie should play at the intended speed and have no stuttering.
|

|
|
|
|
