Speedy TAS of 2015
Hi, I'm working on a PC speedrun using JPC-rr 11.2. I've created a dump file of my WIP which I can watch using playdump. However, when I try to use dumpconvert, to encode it, it fails. I think it's a problem with how I have direct264 installed, because it makes the wav file just fine when I omit the video option: 
dumpconvert --video-width=640 --video-height=400 --video-framerate=60 --output-wav=audio.wav mydump.jmd
But when I add the video option, it sits there for a while, then crashes: 
dumpconvert --video-width=640 --video-height=400 --video-framerate=60 --output-wav=audio.wav --output-x264=raw.avi,crf=0,fullrange=on mydump.jmd
After it crashes, it creates an avi file that is 4 gb in size! That happens even if my dump is only a few seconds in length. I have all the direct264 files copied directly into the jpcrr directory. Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on direct264 to know if that's the correct way to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! EDIT: FYI, I'm using the latest version of direct264 released 2011-08-31

After back and forth by PM, it looks like that crash is caused by command line syntax change in x264 / direct264. Now, unfortunately r11.2 is too old to use the newer syntax. Now that I have proper cross-compiler available, I built new version of streamtools for Win32: Streamtools r11.6 (rev A). --output-x264 now assumes new syntax (use --output-x264o if you have very old x264 that uses the old one). But, this version adds --output-cscd=<filename> . This is output to .avi using Camstudio Codec for video and PCM for audio. The files should be directly usable for: * Youtube uploading * Processing using AVISynth (you also need to install Camstudio codec for this).
