In the Dosbox documentation, I read that it was possible to create a movie from the screen (avi video capturing). I thought it would be great to be able to send the movie of the combat resolution phase to my PBEM opponent but I can't seem to make it work properly.

I have to press CTRL-ALT-F5 to start the video capturing and again, CTRL-ALT-F5 to stop it. It created a AVI file and was able to locate it on the hard drive. I used DivX to see it but it won't work. DivX only shows black screen of the same duration of my recordings.

Did anybody ever tried that video feature? What should I try next? Does it require a special configuration?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank!

Problem solved! [8D]
I had to install the video codec first. (stupid me!)

It is pretty neat!
Did someone ever tried to record combat resolution phase?

Can you provide the steps for installing the Codec? Thanks in advance!!

Of course! Go to http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Recording_Video

The movie files created are rather large, though. [:(]
