How to record with ZSNES own recorder (2 steps).

First download MPlayer and place mencoder.exe (only that!) in the ZSNES folder:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/relea...

Now we can start!

1) Recording the state (ZMV file):

a) Load your ROM.
b) Press Esc and click on MISC, then on MOVIE OPT. In the CONTROLS tab, click on RECORD. Now you can start to play while ZSNES is recording the movie. When you finish, go back to MOVIE OPT and click on STOP. You got a .zmv file, that is the movie as a saved state. It must be encoded in order to get an .AVI video that can be edited and uploaded on YouTube. You can do this by dumping (next step).

2) Dumping (a.k.a. Encoding):

a) In the MOVIE OPT dialog, click on the DUMPING tab and set the options in the following way:

MOVIE OPTIONS
Xvid lossless

DUMPING LENGTH
ZMV length

AUDIO OPTIONS
Dump audio
Merge with video

b) Click on START

The movie will be saved in the ZSNES folder. Picture size is 256x224 pixel (pretty small). If you wanna make a larger video, you must edit the zmovie.cfg file

For this, you will need to open your zmovie.cfg file

In line 12, you will find a line like this :

md_other="-aspect 4:3 -mc 0"

You will need to add in the command to upscale the video. For example, if you want a 640x480 video, this is what the line needs to look like.

md_other="-aspect 4:3 -mc 0 -vf scale=640:480"

Note that the command added was -vf scale=640:480 you can replace the numbers with any you desire like 640:360 or 864:486 or 400:300

Next, in line 30, you will find a line like this :

md_merge="$md_prog $md_other $md_smode -force-avi-aspect 4:3 -ovc copy -o merged.avi $md_file"

Remove the -force-avi-aspect 4:3 command so that you don't have to worry about letterboxing or pillarboxing in the resulting video.

Finally, and this is optional, in line 28, you will find this :

md_command="$md_prog $md_other $md_no_sound $md_raw $md_vcodec -o $md_file -"

If you want it so that youtube does not rape the frame-to-frame animation with its shitty encoder, you will need to add the -ofps 30 command to bring the framerate from 50 or 59.94 fps to 30 fps with better encoding. It should look like this :

md_command="$md_prog $md_other $md_no_sound $md_raw -ofps 30 $md_vcodec -o $md_file -"

Good luck.
