Well, if you record at 680 and play back at 1920 that could be an obvious problem. Try increasing the video size to maybe 720p.

When ever i use this, the video i recorded will randomly freeze, but the sound keeps playing.
Any ideas why?

So if you wanted to do multiple clips with this, you would have to keep recording the whole time, then edit out what you don't want? Is the slow-mo when recording part of the recording process or is it your computer's fault (it's speed).

If your computer is fast enough it should run at regular speed. yuv2lav is probably not the fastest motion jpeg encoder around and since the game, yuv converter and mpjeg encoder are communicating through pipes there is a lot of data being copied around, so you'll need a fast computer for it to be real time at high resolution.

It records every frame unless you're paused. So for multiple clips you should pause, find the spot you want to record and then unpause to record it.

I was not doing it in the command line. I was doing this:

1. Unzip it somewhere.
2. Open the folder where you unzipped mjpeg4mxsim.zip.
3. Start up MX Sim, put it in windowed mode and quit.
4. Double click "mxavi".
5. The game should now start running in a 640x480 window with the video going into v.avi. Now play whatever demo you want to turn into an AVI and quit.
6. Double click "joinavi".

It should be in the same folder then (movie.avi).

Compatibility issue:

After moving to win7 64bit, using 64bit premiere cs5, 32bit cs4 and cs3, the avi format is not acceptable. Horrible playback framerate and just flat un-compatible file format. Can't remember if it worked before on win vista. Troubleshooted down to this issue after some long hours browsing forums. FRAPS avi works flawless. thoughts?

It has to be a bug in either yuv2lav, lavaddwav or the avi reader you're using. It might be worth running the avi through a transcoder like ffmpeg with both codecs set to copy. That will rebuild the avi container.

Does it like the pre-multiplexed v.avi file?
