How to log an AVI in Kega Fusion 3.6

Let me start of by saying, Great Emulator:)

However, when I try to record an AVI, it will just record the sound and not the video. I also noticed this when using Camstudio to record both sound and ausio, only the sound gets recorded. Do I need some codecs installed?

If you have the problem even when using external programs that it may likely be a codec issue.

DivX is a very popular codec for AVI files, so if you've never installed it then you may give it a try.

Added AVI Logging using custom Kega Game Video 1 lossless codec. This is
needed because logging RAW video causes poor performance even on highend
machines, and using any of the available codecs either doesn't compress
well enough to fix that, or does compress well enough, but can't keep up
with 60fps, so you get poor performance either way. The codec is able to
use hints from the emulator to aid in compression, allowing pretty good
compression while taking very little CPU time. The codec to allow you
to play back and convert the files is included in the archive, and can
be installed via right clicking on the INI file and telling the OS to
continue with the install. Tested on XP and Vista64, should work fine
on 9x and Vista32.

Note that these AVI files are not really meant to be shared as they are,
it's just a way for you to log video without horrible laggy gameplay.
Convert them to Xvid or something using the excellent VirtualDub program
(Google it.) I'll open up this codec sometime later incase it's useful
for other purposes/programs.

just right click the INI in the Video Codec folder and install the custom codec.

Now that's a pretty straightforward answer. I haven't kept up with Kega for a while myself, didn't even know they added that right into the emulator

gosh, i'm back at this thread yet again because now I'm on a new computer and have forgotten which codec it is since I don't have a programmer's memory.

Does it frustrate you in the same way that users resurrecting threads that are years old for no reason frustrates everyone else?.
