How to develop Dolphin 5.0 with VFW - Custom Build - gondracorn - 02-10-2016
I would like to know what software, plugins, GITs, and else I need to be able to customize the Dolphin builds, and any future builds, to be able to have the VFW plugin in it...
I know a little programming, but not a whole lot. If the default codes have comments and explainations in them, I probably will be able to do it. Else, I would be lost in a heap of codes I would have to search through to find the specific spot to insert the VFW plugin...
I use DVIX and XVID specifically on 1080 HD setting to capture my videos. I don't use an external game capturer like bandicam on dolphin because it does not completely capture the entire video frame-by-frame. I prefer to use an internal capture mechanism...
I know that most people would not be picky and use the default capture plugin... But I am picky, and I prefer to have the best quality available...
In addition, for some reason, the ffv01 codec fails to render for me.

This is basically a three-step process:
1. Use git to download Dolphin's source (https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin)
2. Use git to revert the commits that made Windows use ffmpeg (https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/3451/commits)
3. Use Visual Studio 2015 to build Dolphin
Which of these steps do you already know how to do?

Wow, not a single line of code needed, just some `git revert` commands. I wonder how long this will be the case until some refactor introduces conflicts and makes a simple revert not possible anymore :p
