    That's great, because I have a recording problem (recording speed) for new roms with Tiger and Konamih. You have already talked about a way to speed up MAME video recording with a parameter. I can't find the post that talked about it.

      Yes, indeed I remember I also had speed problems recording video with mame.
      Will have a look in the posts when I can.

        I added the recorded videos here :
        https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JPIftFPVyUVslK_seNZmQNAKfQX_MwBW?usp=share_link
        ( will remove link later !)

        The packmon seems not working correctly or I have a bad rom.
        So I did not add a video for that one.
        What is your experience with this game, does it work for you ?

          Hi, I have convert your videos in mp4 format, but they don't want load in Retropie. Can you do a quick test on your side? I can't explain why.

            Seems to be quite a pain in the ass to make these videos ;-)

            I checked and had the same problem, not playing in emulationstation.
            In VLC, on the pi4, I get video but the seconds, of the parts that are cut-out, are also displayed (not played/shown though).
            With VLC on my VM I didn't have this problem.

            Only difference VS good working videos is this codec info :
            Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (H264)
            Decoded format : Planar 4:2:0 YUV
            instead of :
            Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
            Decoded format

            edit :
            I have re-encoded "Chicky Woggy (Tabletop).mp4" from the original recording on my pi4 and I have placed it on my google-drive.
            Codec information is now :
            Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
            Decoded format : Planar 4:2:0 YUV
            So it seems the default encoding is different on the pi4 !

            I have uploaded all to google-drive including the originals.
            I hope they will work now.

              I already did the update for Tigerh and Konamih but not uploaded them yet , i'm waiting for MAME 0.251 version before complete videos for some roms.

                I found a solution here :https://forums.bannister.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=118963&Searchpage=1&Main=9230&Words=aviwrite+&Search=true#Post118963
                use -snapview native to record without artwork
                or
                use -snapsize 800x600 to record with artwork at lower resolution so speed is at an acceptable level.

                Also, for Tigerh, with -snapview Background -nosnapbilinear in emulators.cfg it's faster to record and you get the handheld background view without the entire handheld .

                Specifies the view to use when rendering snapshots and videos. The <viewname> does not need to be the full name of a view, MAME will choose the first view with a name that has the <viewname> as a prefix. For example -snapview "screen 0 pixel" will match the “Screen 0 Pixel Aspect (10:7)” view.

                Example:

                mame-basename-autoframeskip = "/opt/retropie/emulators/mame/mame -v -c -autoframeskip -snapview Background -nosnapbilinear -snapsize 640x480 tigerh %BASENAME%"  
                

                (for <view name="Background Only"> in default.lay (Tiger Handheld Artworks)

                    Most videos are 640x480 so i'll create them with -snapsize 640x480

                            I did a new gamelist.xml for gamepock (Game Pocket Computer) with videos and marquees. Great result!

                              I added the roms today.
                              Noticed that I have issues with the new gamelists for konamih and tigerh.
                              Some games are skipped on my pi4 when trying to select them.
                              Looked at the .png files, could be that some new files are too big in size.
                              Can you have a look ?

                              Edit :
                              I did a test with kbottum9.png.
                              Reducing the resolution to 658x1080 worked for me.

                                Sorry for that. My mistake. I forgot to reduce my pngs.

                                I'll do that tomorrow. Good catch!

                                    Great !, I will update asap ;-)

                                    I added "DECO cassette system" to the categories in my script.
                                    Now busy with the gamelist.
                                    The retroscraper of @kiro already did a great job, only a few are missing.

                                    Btw. I did a PR for cygnus-blue-flames.

                                          Everything seems to be fine on the disk. Is this a problem with how the script replaces existing files or is it on my end?
