I've checked out a few posts on here, but maybe it's because I'm using a newer version of FCEUX, or maybe it's because it's late and I've been trying to figure this out all day. I'm trying to record my play-throughs of older games, want to put them up on youtube, blah blah blah blah. I can start the record, get the .fm2 file just fine, but that's where I get stuck. I followed one post that explained you need to pause the emulator and then you can convert it in the File menu, but I'm using the Linux version so maybe that's the problem? Any assistance on this would be fabulous. Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi! FCEUX AVI dumping under Linux is done from the command line. Per our encoding guide the command you're looking for is
fceux --subtitles 0 --slstart 0 --slend 239 --xscale 1 --yscale 1 --special 0 --pal 0 --sound 1 --soundq 1 --soundrate 48000 --volume 150 --trianglevol 256 --square1vol 256 --square2vol 256 --noisevol 256 --pcmvol 256 --mute 1 --nospritelim 1 --no-config 1 --videolog "mencoder - -o raw.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=ffv1:format=bgr32 -oac pcm -noskip -nocache -mc 0 NESVSETTINGS" --playmov movie.fm2 rom.nes
where movie.fm2 is your movie file and rom.nes is the ROM.

This is where it gets frustrating. I do all that, and then it just hangs when I close the Emulator. Am I supposed to record the play-through first then use that command, or enter that command first and play? I can't seem to find the avi file anywhere and the command doesn't seem to be do anything helpful as when I start it then close it I get....
