how is this related to dosbox ?
aside from the fact that video of the game is made with dosbox ?

try a video editor or so

I don't know how you would do that. Besides it seems like the wrong way to do it. I would record the DOSBox, and then record my comments separately. Once I had both the game and the comments recorded, I would use some audio/video tool to merge the 2 audio streams.

If I understand you correctly, you have a microphone attached to your PC, and on that PC also runs DOSBox. Why do you assume DOSBox does even get the input from your microphone? I'd be surprised if that were at all possible.

I think the OP meant he simply expects DOSBox's video capture to record all enabled sounds (in Windows' volume control) or at least the microphone and not just the game's sound.

I bumped this topic because I wanted to point out that YouTube is full of "Let's Play X" guides for DOS(Box) games. And guess what? Not even one of them uses DOSBox' own recorder. Do you know why? Because as much as you may believe they should record the microphone after finishing playing, the bottom line is they rather use another recorder and record their voice in real time.

I think it's a shame none of them wants to use DOSBox' recorder. Can you consider adding microphone support to DOSBox' video recorder?

You are a) claiming to know the reason for the actions of all other people, which obviously you don't, and b) putting words in our mouths that we didn't say. All in all pretty lousy arguing, I'd say.

DOSbox is meant for playing games, not recording them. If you really need microphone input, you could easily use another recorder and mix that into the output of DOSbox.

For your information, I've only written this after running a little survey in YouTube by PMing relevant users and asking them why they don't use DOSBox' own recorder. They all had just one reason, which was the lack of microphone support.

, and b) putting words in our mouths that we didn't say

So no one here said they should just use another recorder?

Anyway, I don't know why you turn this into a fight. All I'm saying is that DOSBox does have a recorder, but the lack of microphone support makes it irrelevant in YouTube.

It would be interesting to see if YouTube posters were the dominant group of DOSbox recorders. If so, microphone support should either be added, or the whole recording stuff be removed altogether, depending on the vision of the authors.

What's next? You'll want DOSBox include a conversion program to automatically convert a DOSBox video into a video ready for Youtube submittal?

DOSBox isn't a video creation package. It's an emulator with the ability to create videos. If you want to dub audio then do so with another program or code support for the feature into DOSBox yourself.
