Any update on this. Maybe we are almost there.

Would it be possible to add a feature that when a button/key is pushed, the recording process would immediately begin? Currently, you have a countdown timer I think. This feature would be helpful, but its by no means a game-changing type request. It would simply speed up the recording process when you have a bunch of tables. Just something to think about since were polishing the recorder.

No. There are other random table getting the black screen too.

Crap. This log shows the parameters for recording ACDC. Again, the recording comes out solid black. Even the icon of the file in the videos folders is different than all of the other good videos. Seems like a format issue, but how can that be if its simply told to record whats visible on my #3 display? log.txt

Thanks for the replies guys. I made a copy of the dmddevice.ini and stripped out the specific tables.

I just checked the PBXR recordings, and they are all intact. No black screen issues. I copied the ffmpeg.exe from PBXR and dropped it in the Pinballx folder to be used with its recorder. After testing, same thing...,black screen on acdc. The log below shows the recording for acdc with the black screen. log.txt

The last two logs I sent right after the recording process pertain to the black screen issue. Do you need something different?

I recorded another 10 or so new tables, and a third of them easily had the black screen as well. Most seem to be VPM tables, but there other VPM tables that recorded perfectly fine. Still no hangs which is good. Again everything looks fine on the screen, and they are completely playable as well. log.txt

Just tried recording those three again. Its a solid black screen when viewed through the PBX browser. These table appear perfectly fine on the TV. Another weird one here I guess. Log for those three recordings below. log.txt

Okay there is a glitch. I recorded the following: It looks like ACDC, ALI, and Alien Star might be corrupt. The recordings are solid black. All the others look fine. When I try to view ACDC with WMP, I get this error. Log below. I am now going to try to record onlky those two again now. log.txt

Okay. It looks like its working completely as expected. It recorded a hundred tables or so with no hangs. The videos are correctly oriented with no weirdness. I will now put things back to normal for the final recordings which I will do today. So whatever you did in 54, it seemed to work. But dont let Draco close this out yet . I will give an update in the next day or two. BTW, what was the problem and should I still use the ffmpeg.exe you provided yesterday? Assuming yes.

I will in the morning. Thanks for the continued efforts.

Okay. I set the encoder to SW, and installed the ffmpeg.exe you provided. It successfully recorded 6 tables, and then hung prior to the 7th. Log below. log.txt

Okay. Give me about 20 minutes to test.
