I used Gens 9.5 to record a video of me playing through Sonic 2. The GMV file is finished, but I'm having a major problem getting it onto AVI. The Divx codec doesn't work, and the rest of the codecs leave horrendous results. Same thing goes for the desktop recorders I used as well (Hypercam almost worked, it just wouldn't stay in sync.) What should I do? I want to get my movie onto Google Video, but I can't if I can find a way to convert it into a decent file format...

I would guess you are using Vista.

Hi there! If you are indeed a Vista user, the following steps should (with any luck) fix your AVIs. Step 1: Get the experimental VirtualDub (1.7.2 as of writing) here. Step 2: Open your avi up in it Step 3: "Audio --> Direct Stream Copy" and "Video --> Direct Stream Copy" MUST be set. Step 4: "File --> Save as AVI..." and save it elsewhere. If that does not work, try making a 20 sec uncompressed AVI in the emulator and doing the above steps. If that works, at least you know you can save uncompressed.. (ffdshow's H264 Lossless can be fixed by VirtualDub) Please post your results here so we know if something worked or didn't :)
