Frame Dump File Split Options - Kurausukun - 12-07-2014
Is there a way to make Dolphin not split frame dumps after a certain amount of bytes? I always end up with like 20 files, and I seem to recall at some point in development there was a setting for when to split files, but I can't find that setting in current Dolphin.

Use a codec that handles it, such as x264vfw.

So the answer is that I can't choose to keep the file unsplit if I export uncompressed?

Why would you do that...

x264vfw supports lossless video if you want the same quality as uncompressed. There's also lagarith lossless video. Is there a specific reason you want to record uncompressed?

I suppose not. It's just that I'll be putting it through a video editor and then onto YouTube, for example, so I don't want to compress it multiple times. But true, I could export lossless. Except when I tried that, it still split the video--is there an option I'm missing somewhere?

I was actually wondering the same thing :/
Hopefully someone knows what to do...
EDIT: Hold on, I think I found it just got to test.
EDIT 2: Okay so when using x264vfw you can change the output mode to file. Then just specify the output file and start dumping frames. The only problem that I had was the video was sped up to 60fps for a 30fps game, but that's easy to fix in editing.
