Hello, I have a couple of questions regarding output movie files. What editor could I use to open and edit VBM files and where can I download it? What is different between VMV and VBM? Basically I need to copy-paste several frames of input from one type of movie to the other and vice versa. I know VMV is outdated but I need to use it for a certain version of VBA. So I need to know where is the first frame input and if from there on they are coded the same as in VBM.

Turns out it's the file extension of VirtuaNES movies. http://tasvideos.org/VMV.html The recommended NES emulator for movie making here is FCEUX. If you're technically inclined you can use a hex editor as well.

For MUGG: VMV is the movie format used for the non-rerecording versions of VBA

Followint MUGG's link (http://www.bluetoaster.net/emu/tools.htm) I found applications to open VBM files. But how do I open VMV files? Maybe I should give some explanation of what I am doing. I'm experimenting with VisualBoyAdvance link version, which only accepts VMV files. The idea is to produce a TAS where 2 or more VBA-Link emulators play a multiplayer game. Currently I am able to synchronize them, but the method used requires to record the movies frame by frame. My intention was to play parts of the movie in the non-link version of the emulator, which only accepts VBM files, and joining them with the necessary changes. To do so, I need to be able to open and edit VMV and VBM files. MUGG has mentioned hex editors. Could you link me to a page where I can download one? Thankyou.

Perhaps you should wait until someone adds link capability to a branch of VBA-rr

Or wait for someone to add a good movie recording system to the VBA-link. But meanwhile I thought it would be fun to try.
