      @DTEAM
      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!

                        Done on the drive.

                        For konamih I used 658x1080 and for tigerh, 1280x1080 as the other files. It should work now.

                          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.

                              Just updating didn't work for me.
                              I had to physically remove the big files in order to update.
                              Now it's working !

                                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?

                                  I think we had this problem earlier.
                                  You probably have to delete the older file first before updating.
                                  Then the updated files should be recognised.

                                    Added deco_cassette gamelists to my gamelists mirror.
                                    Only a few thing are missing.
                                    Will have to look at that later.

                                          I tried again to update on my mini laptop as I have still the old files on them.
                                          Didn't work.

                                          Will try again tomorrow just to see if it works then, assuming it's something with the datestamp again.

                                          Edit :
                                          It worked today, seems to be due to the time-difference Canada/The Netherlands.

                                            I recently updated Mess/Mame and decided to see if i gained any M5

                                            With M5 I gained 11 more to work...
                                            but oddly, I lost 3 to loading with just a black screen with no run command errors.
                                            is this common to happen?

                                            I also do get some others to load but only to a black screen with no error log
