Recording gameplay footage

[GregDaWiz]

Hey guys, need suggestions.

So I want to record gameplay footage using dolphin. However, i have a mac with a not powerful cpu.. what would be my best option? So far ive tried dump frames, which caused immediate and apparent desync problems at input playback, and OBS, which left my computer chugging trying to process both dolphin and obs. Any help?

You can use dump-frames as you play if you can't figure out how to use the input recording feature. A lot of my videos are either "input recording with settings that wont desync," or straight up dumpframes/audio as I'm playing.

It doesn't matter if you're trying to record video. The video will be recorded in-full speed even if it lags as you record it. That's the beauty of framedump.

it wasnt playing back in full speed when i watched it in VLC tho. it was like slow-mo

[GregDaWiz]

its normal when i play it at x3 speed. Could suffice if i can edit the file to that speed. but any other options?

It's probably not that the video was recorded at a lower speed, but rather that VLC just couldn't keep up with rendering the video.

Any good way to check if the file's fine then? My file wont import into premier either.

So its not vlc. It tested by converting the file and playing in quicktime. The video is actually that slow
