I made a loooooooong DOSBox video of Betrayal At Krondor (1:16:20!), but I can't hear any sound...

BAK CD uses Red Book audio. I don't think that gets to DOSBox recorder. Make sure you are using MIDI music and SB sound effects.

OK, this may seem off-topic, but it's about the same video...

I had to reinstall everything on my computer, and I managed to get the Krondor Movie back, but it doesn't show any video on it...it appears as a sound file with no sound.

You are missing ZMBV codec. It is part of the "official" DOSBox distribution, just run the installer once and it should work.

OK, I tried that, but it didn't work...I don't have to remake the entire movie AGAIN, do I?

After you run DOSBOX installer, go to Program Files/DOSBox-0.65/zmbv (or wherever you have it installed), right-click on zmbv.inf, and select "Install."

Thanks, that did it. 😁 Sorry for not understanding. 😵

Is there any way to add them to Windows Movie Maker and combine them all into one file? (There are 52 files there...in case you couldn't tell by the programs I'm talking about, I have Windows XP)

thought virtual dub might handle it.
the reason that there are so many files is that the resolution of each of the files is diffirent from the resolution of the one before that.

He's talking about Virtualdub. A video capturing program.

Most video enthusiasts online don't use Windows Movie Maker because:

1. It's made by Microsoft.
2. It's not Open Source (Hard to fix bugs).
3. It's too easy to use.
4. It requires Windows.
5. It's made by Microsoft.

I'll see if I can make myself use Windows Movie Maker tonight but since I'm using 2003 at home it would probably require some hacking to get it to work.....and I currently don't have a VM at home of XP......and my work machine is running 2003 as well. Whereas Virtualdub runs on every Windows OS (well almost).

I downloaded it and got it working, but I don't know how to put the files together...I'm a complete idiot when it comes to new programs. 😒

And despite all your bickering about MMM, you are here trying to get games run in an application that emulates an Microsoft operating system.

MMM works fine for me.

OK, I figured out what the program is supposed to do...it changes files into .AVIs...but DOSBox already saves them as .AVIs and that's the kind of file MMM won't combine.

> it changes files into .AVIs

?????

I don't know Movie Maker, but i'm sure it has a function to create a project
and import existing avis there, scale them to fit the project's resolution
and render them into a movie (avi or whatever you like/it is capable of).

If it can't do that, get some serious video editing software. Not sure if
virtual dub can attach videos with different resolutions, but at least it
should be possible to rescale them and then append all avis with it.
