Problems making MNG movies

[merovingian]

Hey guys,

I'm having some serious issues relating to making the MNG movies for all my games. If I try to use MAME32, regardless of d3d, dd, or gdi, I can't get the recorder to capture anything but a black screen; I assume this is an overlay issue. However, using command line mame, I have been able to make it work. Now, my problem is that the CPU utilization when playing games is normally around 65-75%, however, once the movie starts recording, it takes it to 100% and I start dropping massive numbers of frames. This, of course, shows up in the MNG files.

Can anyone tell me what kind of computer setup they used to make sure that all the movies were smooth? I'm running an A64 3000+ with nVidia 6100LE (onboard) graphics. Also, if anyone knows where I could just go to download a complete set of MNGs that would be great. Of course, if some pitying soul wants to send me their collection that would be awesome and I would forever be indebted.

Thanks in advance.

-Mike

I can't really help you out on the MNG video format, but if you're willing to settle for a complete set of MAME .AVI videos, be sure to check out the EmuMovies site:
