i posted a feature request in sf.net
i would like to discuss the possibilities and problems with this RFE.
here is my original post:

it would be some real nice feature to record a sequence
from dosbox vga output to a file.
best would be an uncompressed avi file. if that is too
much complicated to implement, then my other idea was
just to call the snapshot function after each screen
refresh and create an image sequence which consists of
each frame the dos application displays. therefore: is it
possible to detect when the dos application writes a
new frame to the screen output?
i think it would be very good to match the real FPS the
application displays, cause this would prevent from
getting duplicate images.another important function is to do a frameskip=0.
i don't know if it is possible to set frameskip in dosbox,
or if it depends on the application running in dosbox.
anyway, this would be a cool feature.
real important is it only when recording.next request: i can disable sound emulation, but can i
disable screen output, too? not only not displaying
screen output, but not emulating it, too. this would be
cool when trying to write a non-stuttering wave output
file.
there should be a key to en-/disable during runtime,
because navigating in dos without screen output
requires lots of acurate typing 😈most of these features i request because when playing
intro movies of games in dosbox on my athlon 800
machine i get about 2-3 frames per second.
sorry, but i don't have a newer machine to use...thanks for the great work and for allowing me to play all
those classic games on my machine again !
i hope you continue the great work!
(your sourceforge activity stats say you do 😈---loki
forgot to mention:
are scalers/is the scaler always active?
can i deactivate it?
because when recording screen output, i don't need a scaler.
and it needs some ressources and cpu speed, too.
so disabling scalers for recording/screenshot sequence would
also speed up the process a bit
