Recording problems

[qcol]

Maybe it is not a rocket, but not 486

Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G4400 @ 3.30GHz, 3300 MHz / 8GB RAM / GeForce GTX 660, NVIDIA

I wonder where this difference comes from at different tables.... It is possible that the dynamics of animation is important here (more details to compress?)

Today it took 8 minutes to make a video for Monster Bash

To be honest. I'm not sure. I normally create my video's via gamemanagers and select to skip existing videos. I will run it for a while until it is finished. Ffmpeg is not created (as far as I know) by @Tom Speirs, but he is using it.

And you are right... it's  indeed not a rocket

Tables run on this configuration quite smoothly so for the recording itself I will not change the hardware, I prefer to arm myself with patience
You're right, I've learned that it's better to record from the game manager  because some tables don't react to the recording key during the game (in my case, e.g. Dr. Dude).
