Hi, I'm asking this because there is no entry in the FAQ to make an AVI movie from a VBM file. My question goes because the LAME settings for making AVI files from FCM and SMV differ, otherwise the guide is identical. So I want to know if they also differ for VBM files or there are other things to consider. Thanx.

mm.. you just playback the .vbm with vba-rerecording.exe, go to Tools -> Record -> Start AVI recording... and choose which coded you are going to use to encode it (preferably some loss-less). After recording you should re-encode it with some other program like Mencoder. Btw, this topic should be in the 'VBA Questions and Answers' forum.
Which run should I encode next? :)

The thing about FCM (NES) and SMV (SNES) is that desired quality settings are very different between the two apps. NES has such cheaper sound hardware and is only mono (one channel), whereas the SNES is stereo and produces much better sound. For VBA, you'd be best to use the SNES example, though non-GameBoyAdvance games would probably be fine if you turned down the bitrate. GB Classic is still stereo though. Experiment. Use good headphones and listen for a difference. How low can you go before quality degrades too badly?

If I wanted to pull a "test0.sub" off a VBM file, is there a different version of "GENSUB" that would do that? Obviously, the nesvideos one doesn't work.
