Recording videos on Mac OS X and video filters

RetroArch General

Hey,

First thank you all for the hard work on this and especially to Hunterk for providing a Mac OSX build. It’s very nice to see this platform being taken care of.

So here’s the problem, I can’t trigger the “record FFmpeg movie output” option.

Here’s the log:

RetroArch CMD: /Users/xxx/Emulation/RetroArch/Retroarch Binary/retroarch /Users/xxx/Emulation/Nintendo NES/Roms/Defender II (USA).nes -c /Users/xxx/Emulation/RetroArch/retroarch.cfg -v --record /Users/xxx/Emulation/RetroArch/Videos/defender II BNES.mkv --size 640X480 --no-patch -s /Users/xxx/Emulation/RetroArch/Videos/Defender II (USA).srm -S /Users/xxx/Emulation/RetroArch/Savestates/Defender II (USA).state

retroarch: unrecognized option `–record’ RetroArch [ERROR] :: Fatal error received in: “parse_input()”

I tried with another core and of course other games and I had the same kind of issue.

Does this mean I’ve made a wrong setup ? Or the Record parameter isn’t implemented yet ?

Second thing. I’m new to all of this as I’m used to play with emus on console, so anyone can tell me how to use the filters provided in the release thread ?

The recording issue is probably my fault. I hadn’t tested that and may have the wrong ffmpeg libraries installed. I’ll try to work it out in the near future.

For the CPU filters, you can enable them in the ‘bsnes filter’ field at the bottom of the filter/shader window.

Lack of --record means FFmpeg support hasn’t been built in, yes. To check which features are compiled in, run ./retroarch --features.
