TheProdigyUK Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Hi @Tom Speirs Didn't work, 0 byte mpeg created. So, I went to another clean pc, installed latest PinballX and then FFmpeg I had, no video created at all. Then I downloaded latest version of ffmpeg and still no video created. Here's the log file from the clean pc where I tried to create video for AC/DC. log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheProdigyUK Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi @Tom Speirs I relaunched and of course it overwrote the log, sorry. I just re-installed the LAV Filters / CODECS, still creates fast video. So, back on the Pinball machine, I have just re-installed the CODECs and created a video for AC/DC and still fast video for Backglass and Playfield. Log.txt file attached. log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 From the log timings the duration of recording for the backglass video looks ok, so i suspect that is not speeded up in playback(?) For the playfield the recording went on a lot longer than 20secs. What refresh rate are you running the playfield screen at?, that may be a factor throwing ffmpeg out.

TheProdigyUK Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi scutters Backglass looks sped up too. The main playfield is 60Hz and VPX is also set to 60Hz. I just tried setting monitor to 75 and VPX and then re-recording but same fast video problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Can you post videos that speed up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProdigyUK Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi @Mike_da_Spike There's two examples at the top of this thread Again: Algar and The Addams Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Sorry, didnt noticed the small link in the begin of your post. I will try to set this up as well to check I see you have an nvidia card, so you are able to use gpu capture as well.its not a solution, but a workaround Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 In 4.70 and above, as another workaround just delete hardgrab.exe from the installation folder. This will force FFMPEG GDI capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I tried it on my test machine as well. Recording in H264 results in a tmp**.mp4 of 0kb for playfield. Properly because FFmpeg tries to capture with H264_nvenc instead of libx264 (no nvidia driver/hardware on my test pc) Recording on H265 creates files, but indeed playfield is twice as fast . Although the recorded video is 20seconds, it plays way to fast Renaming/removing hardgrab.exe, results in a video that only has a couple of frames (total of 20seconds). Reverting back to 4.67 give me the same issue, so not a good test (or as @scutters says, its a crappy system :p ) If I have some time today (pretty busy) i will test more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheProdigyUK Posted November 8, 2020 Author Share Posted November 8, 2020 Hi @Tom Speirs & @Mike_da_Spike The Log file with Nvidia drivers if from the clean laptop which was just a test on another PC (other than my Pinball machine), so please disregard. I deleted hardgrab.exe and now it works! I've recorded 5 videos of various tables and all are 'normal' speed, including backglass. Thank you so much for the workaround I'm going to leave it to do a bulk video creation of all my tables now. If you get a code fix and want me to BETA test it then I'm happy to oblige. Thanks again Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
