Guide for video (+ sound) recording using Dosbox (for all DOS games)

1. Download Dosbox version 0.65 :

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/dosbox/DOSBox0.65-win32-installer.exe?download

choose your favorite mirror

2. Full install DosBox

3. Install the zmbv codec - manually or following this path:

Go to : Start > All Porgrams > DOSBox-0.65 > Video > Install movie codec (WinXP and Win2000 Only)

4. Run DosBox

Go to : Start > All Porgrams > DOSBox-0.65 > DOSBox

5. Mount your working-on directory (ex : C/)

Open your dosbox shell, you'll get Z:\ - type mount c c:\

To open Prince of Persia game > after mounting move to the prince folder and lanche the game; type prince or prince.exe (with extra parameter(s) ; megahit or improved (n) for cheats)

6. In-game:

To record a movie, you have to press CTRL-ALT-F5.
To stop/end the recording, you have to press CTRL-ALT-F5 again.

7. After you have finished:

Go to : Start > All Porgrams > DOSBox-0.65 > Capture folder

(or open this path : C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.65\capture)

8. The recorded game file is now in .avi format prince_000.avi (with sound)

9. For upload don't forget to compress the file (prince_000.avi) to prince_000.rar so the size will be reduced 60 to 90 %

10. An example of recording : http://popuw.com/mods/prince_000.rar (full screen is supported too)

You just don't have the zmbv codec. Once you install the new DOSBox, everyting will be ok.

Did you install the ZMBV codec correctly? Do you have a player player that supports the codec ?

These do:
1. Windows Media Player 9
2. Real One Player 1.2
3. I'm not sure, but I think Quick Time 6 can do it.
