Today I rediscovered DOSBox, a real gem if you're looking for a way to play all those vintage DOS-games. One excellent feature is the ability to video capture your gameplay. Unfortunately it's in zmbv-format which is currently not supported by VLC. I tried both the Windows and OSX platforms but all I get is sound.
From the messages window:
And on OSX the same story:Windows: "no suitable decoder module for fourcc `ZMBV'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
From the DOSBox README.video:main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `ZMBV'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.
Currently I use Media Player Classic on Windows and MPlayer on OSX as a temporary solution but I would like to switch to VLC if only you guys make it possibleTo play the recorded movie, you need a movie player which can handle the ZMBV codec. MS Windows users can find this codec in the start menu entry of DOSBox. Users of Linux and other OSes should look for a movie player that uses the ffmpeg libary (you may need to update or ask your distribution to upgrade).
