Hello there!

Dose DOSBox support video recording of the screen in macOS? I'm asking because when I click on Ctrl-Alt-F5 nothing happens! I followed the guild in DOSBoxWiKi here: https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Recording_Video I searched my hard disk for a video file of type .avi and found nothing.

Using DOSBox v0.74-2 under macOS 10.15.4.

I think it'll be saved into the "Captures" folder set before.

Good, but any idea where to define the "Captures" folder?

The Captures folder is set in the [dosbox] section of the configurations file.

"# captures: Directory where things like wave, midi, screenshot get captured."

This can be set to another folder of your choice.

The DOSBox Wiki at https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SnapsFolder says
"In Mac systems, the default file path is ~/Library/Preferences/capture/"

Where ~ is an abbreviation for your User's folder.
