PBX Recorder question

[Tyboderek]

I know you can set up the recorded to record a third screen DMD.  Does anyone know if can be setup to record info on a real PinDMD?  If so,  what values should I put into my screenres.txt file for location and dimensions?

Pbx recorder will only record a virtual DMD, you'll probably need to uses freexys dmddevice to output a video - see https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/25148-resolved-pbx-recorder-record-dmd-without-3rd-screen/

I don't know PBX recorder, but there isn't a program that records the real DMD.

I'm not sure what DMD you have, but if you use Freezy's DMDdevice.dll ,there is a part in his INI section to capture videos.
Set the Video enabled to true and point to a valid path

[video]

; if enabled, writes frames to an .avi file
enabled = true

; path to folder or .avi file. if folder, gamename.avi is used.
path = C:\Pinball\DMDoutput

Now every rom that uses the the dmddevice.dll will save an avi file to your directory (based on rom name)
If you can manage to do this for all your missing DMD videos, skip the first par of initializing the rom, and make 1 loop. You can grab the avi file, rename it and place it into your real DMD Media folder

 

Another option will be to enable Vpinmame in front end, so the actually rom will be used to display the table (Could take some tie to initiliaze per table)

I have a  PinDMDv3 , but I create my own MP4's , based on my PinballX wheel, company logo and year.
Those videos are created automaticlly and I run the script that will only do the missing videos
Videos are all 7 seconds and around 10kb

    

the tool can be downloaded from the download section

Ooooh!  I like!  Doing this would make the DMD vids more consistent with my arcade side...
