Viddump no longer works #136

Open wesleywerner opened 3 years ago

wesleywerner commented 3 years ago

Version: PrBoom-Plus 2.5.1.7um Command: prboom-plus.exe -iwad "W:\doom\wads\doom.wad" -timedemo E1M1.lmp -viddump dump.mkv

Expected: The demo is output to a video file. Observed: The demo plays as if a normal timedemo, no video file is written.

First, is anything printed to stdout/terminal/console?

Second, we changed the default encoding to use ffmpeg, which has shown to produce better results. So you may need to have this installed.

Hi @fabiangreffrath

No there is no output to console. The demo runs in fast mode (-timedemo) and audio is heard (contrary to when recording is active), but nothing is printed to the console. Are there any command line switches that will log debugging commands to troubleshoot?

I have ffmpeg in my path:

ffmpeg -version
ffmpeg version 4.3.1-2020-11-08-full_build-www.gyan.dev Copyright (c) 2000-2020
the FFmpeg developers

Does PrBoom expect ffmpeg to live in a hard-coded path perhaps? Does the default PrBoom CAP config need to be changed in some way for it to work? I am using the config provided with the PrBoom download.

Do you find any files called like "sound_stderr.txt" or "video_stderr.txt"?
