Also, what graphics card/driver version are you using? It might be an issue with the frame dumping using some OpenGL features your driver doesn't support.

I cant take screenshots either.
Im using a Nvidia Geforce 6100. Drivers are newest at 182.08.
Even though my graphics card is ancient it still has never had a problem with dolphin. Games play fine.

Sounds like your graphics card doesn't support the features that Dolphin uses for capturing video output. You can try to see if you can record anything with the DirectX plugin, but most games just give me a black screen with that plugin. Does anybody else using a Geforce 6 graphics card get this problem?

It works with the DX9 plugin but since it's still broken nothing will appear on the screen

Hm, does anyone know where I can find a 64-bit build of XviD that works with Dolphin?

The changelog says they added Win64 compatibility to the VfW frontend.

If that one doesn't work, try this: http://www.xvidvideo.ru/content/view/464/1/ (just something I found through Google)

hi, i'm new.
Ok. To capture the video we have.
The Dolphin then, doesn't have an associated keyboard button to take screenshots quickly?
Can you advise me of an external program, that do not go in conflit with the emulator, to take screenshots and maybe another for capturing audio and video?

I have many original games in iso, which are not yet in the list and work with some defect.

Fraps works great.

Yes, but it costs $37

Also, FRAPS only records movies as fast as your computer can play the game in real time. The purpose of the frame dumper is to get perfect 60/50 fps as long as you can run Dolphin at any speeds, even if it's only 1 fps.

Sorry for posting in a 3 year old thread, but i figured other people would have the same question. How do you fix the problem with the dump frames feature when the frame rate is lower than 60 and Dolphin makes the scene go by in fast motion? There is already someone who has made an a/v sync hack at tasvideos.org, but it does not sync with my video because it is an older version. Is there a revision with this feature that is 3.0-757 or later?
