      Hi,

      After using skraper in arcade roms, the problem is that I only get sound and no video in some games.
      In folder media/videos are all videos OK.
      I have Omxplayer in Emulationstation for the video previews OFF
      Any ideas how to fix it?

        Probably an incompatible video codec, used to be that only omxplayer had this issue, but I think recent version of vlc (in Raspbian) use the GPU acceleration and bump into this problem as-well.
        Try converting the videos to a compatible format - one of the scripts available is here.
