only black screens for mng videos?

[draginit]

ive read now the faq, docs, and about 10 pages back of the forum and cant seem to find anything about not being able to produce snap videos for just mame.

my problem is everytime i try to create videos it goes thru them like its creating them but only leave a black mng file for all roms. ive tried divx, then saw the one thread on ffdshow which is currently installed, and it was trying to use a nero 7 file to read the mng. ive deleted nero and all associated files but it is still trying to save them as a nero imagesnap file..... if i try to open the saved mng file it asks me to choose a program to open it with and none of them will do it......how do i get create videos corrected??

thanks.

Not real sure about ffdshow but I think you have to uninstall divx codecs before you install it. I don't use it though so I might be wrong. I do however use Tom Speirs' MNGer which will let you play your mng files and works within GameEx. Get it here http://tomspeirs.com/mnger/.

Good Luck

hey i didnt even think to look outside the gameex forum ,...so a good direction,, ..

ok so now this program recognizes the file and the play bar plays, but im still only getting black screens...

any ideas?? it would be helpful because im stumped....., and i guess i'll start directing my questions over in the MNGer forum. (hopefully it applies)

Hmm sounds like the files are not being recorded properly to me but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else thats had this problem can help. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
