Hello All,

I recently discovered Dosbox and I'm having a good time replaying some of the great games from my youth. And before I get too old to handle a joystick I want to make some videos for friends and family. But unfortunately I'm running into some recoding issues. Usually when recording the game runs fine for a few minutes then the first problems start with the sound cracking up and it gets worse from there with things almost grinding to a stop. Strangely enough the recoding plays and sounds fine. I've tried several suggestions I found in this forum I even installed an extra hard drive especially for recording. But so far no luck. I've also read something about a SVN patch unfortunately that patch has to be compiled by yourself but there is no compiler on my Windows XP computer. Nor would I know how to do it, and moving to Linux is a bit extreme for me. So my question is; Is this patch the solution for my problem and are there compiled patched windows versions available for download on the internet. Or is there perhaps another solution to my problem?

Thanks.

I use an external capture device. Costs quite a bit, but it works well.

I've installed SVN Daum and pointed D-fend to it's location. I've done about 10 laps with Indy 500 and it looks promising. There is the occasional incorrect beep but the game stays playable. This looks very promising.

I've just played a round of Test Drive 2 without problems. OK, there are a few sound glitches but the games stays very playable and the glitches are not in the recording. Thanks Jorpho for pointing me in the direction of the SVN Daum build.
