So I was going onto Dolphin today and was TASing New Super Mario Bros. Wii. All of a sudden, while trying to save with Shift+Fn+F6 (I need to press Fn because that activates F6 instead of the command assigned to it, in this case, it disables the trackpad). My hand slipped and Dolphin was all of a sudden resized. Then an error message popped up saying something along the lines of, "You resized the Dolphin window while dumping frames. Nothing sane can be done. Your video is likely broken." I checked and sure enough, it was broken. Ever since then, the quality of my dumped frames weren't that good, at leas not in Sony Vegas Pro 12. The frames played in Windows Media player are still no difference, but in Sony Vegas Pro 12 the quality was fuzzy. I decided to reset Dolphin to its default settings. I went to the config folder and deleted Dolphin.ini. Not all of the configurations were deleted (which was good, because I needed my customized Wiimote and GCN buttons). The dumped frames box was still checked though. I tried dumping again, and there was no difference. Anybody know why this is happening? I dump full frames uncompressed.

Do you have bnilinear filtering on? Try VLC and use Windows GDI IIRC.

EDIT: Preferences > Video > Windows GDI output
That will not have bilinear filtering which should look better for dumped frames.

Umm...Where is this located? Also, I just want the quality of the dumped frames to be better, I don't want it to look better in any certain media player or anything like that, I jstu want the output of the frames to have better quality.
Sorry if this isn't what you mean, I'm probably just interpreting the message the wrong way.
EDIT: Oh, you meant in Sony Vegas Pro 12. Well, I can't find ti, and anyway, my previously dumped frames look fine but not the newly dumped ones. Hmm....

I meant in VLC (different media player) but if your previous dump looks fine that actually shouldn't be the case.
Did you change a setting in Dolphin or your media player? Did you change your codec, resolution, frameskip, etc.?

From what I can tell, no. However, I analyzed the new and old dumped frames. my newly dumped frames are actually a higher resolution (640x360) and a higher bitrate (331776kbps) and 60 FPS as opposed to 620x348 and 310694 bitrate. I also found out that the old resolution was exactly the same as the Sony Vegas Pro 12 project preview resolution. My guess is that the resolution for the new dumped frames, due to the fact that the preview screen is smaller than the actual resolution, the pixels were clumped together, forcing it to become a bit fuzzy. Do I need to worry? Will the problem fix itself when I render the video?
EDIT: Figured it out. I changed some things in Dolphin.ini.
RenderWindowWidth = 620
RenderWindowHeight = 464
That's what I set it as. I found out that setting the render window height and width will affect the resolution of the dumped frames. While the width you set it as in the configuration is the same as the output width, the height is not. You have to multiply the resolution you want by 1.33333333..., then put that as RenderWindowHeight.
