Hey,

I want to record a game using the in-built capture feature but I want to record the audio separately. Is there a way to record the video without recording the audio using DosBox capture?

Thanks 😀.

Not that I know of, but you can split and remove the audio afterwards with a program such as VirtualDub.

Thanks bloodbat, didn't think of that. I've actually found out that you can record the midi separately with DosBox so I'll probably do that.

Robertmo: Because the game has some CD audio tracks and MIDI audio tracks so it records the CD and not the MIDI. If I recorded the audio separately alongside the DosBox capture I'd end up recording the CD audio twice if you get me :p.

MIDI != sound, MIDI will never, ever be recorded by DosBox as sound, only if using the MT-32 emulator or such.

bloodbat but he knows it, he started the thread cause of that. What he tries to say is:
when recording movie - some tracks that are cd audio will be recorded, but other tracks that are midi will not.
So he will have to record audio separately. By doing so he will record both: cd audio and midi tracks, hence he will have some tracks recorded twice: once with video and second time with audio. That is why he want to mute video.

I think you can also record midi source separately depending what midi you use. So my question is what is the game and what midi source you are recording.

You will quickly find internal audio get out of sync with externally recorded audio. Best to use screen capture software or capture VGA output. I just record on my real MS-DOS Time-Machine because of this reason.

Well, I didn't quite get his post 😜
