Okay, I've had a number of issues with Snes9x and recording avi. The audio almost always goes way out of sync with the video, for instance. But lately, I find that for some stupid reason, every time I try to record an AVI, it outputs a file that's about 7k and less than a second long. I let it record for 20 minutes, and then stopped, and the AVI didn't even have a second worth of frames. It worked before, why not now? Also, I'm not the only person for this to happen to. A friend has had this same trouble with recording AVIs from the very beginning. I don't know why mine was working before, but not hers, but it's frustrating, to say the least. Is this a known problem? Maybe it should be in the FAQs.

Well, you should mention which Snes9x version, OS , game and ROM you are using. Because now, no one can help you.

You should also mention the codec you are using to encode the AVI, and the settings

I've used Snes9x 1.43+ v9 and v10. Both have this problem. I haven't tried 1.51 (which I have, but don't want to try because of desync issues) I'm using the Kaizo Mario World hack, but my friend who had the same problem has it with every game. Both of us use Windows XP. Edit: This also happens regardless of codec, but I've been primarly using FFDshow's H.263+. Even if I put full frames, uncompressed, I have the same problem.

Okay, nevermind. For some reason this seems to happen exclusively with the H.263+ codec. I know I've had it work properly with that codec before. Anyway, problem solved I guess. Now if only I knew what caused the audio desync.

Do you have more than one hard drive? try another one. Also check for free space on any drives you have. Problem solved above..

Hmm. The video is still way out of sync with the audio. Is there any way to minimize this? I've noticed this happening regardless of the codec.

Mess about with snes9x's sound settings. Mix interval, buffer length, sync sound etc.
