as said, can't reproduce the problem, works just fine (with sound) here.

so just give him the video allright, he'll put it on wurst, and we're done :)

Hehe. I expect it in my mailbox ASAP ;)
Maybe I'll try another computer first...

maybe someone already said but "into the neon rain" doesn't work and it is all preachers fault

bk237: I kkaptured "into the neon rain" two weeks ago and it worked just fine, so it's most probably a machine-specific bug.

Traction & Brainstorm - Fairytale working perfectly

doesn't work for me at all, tested on >3 different machines.
capturing process seems ok, but after capturing .avi file is not readable, due to "unknown codec". i tried all codecs, and get the same result, even with "uncompression". i just cant see what i captured. surely, i have all the codecs installed.
what i do wrong?

i tried many demos, all are from the list

Do you have huffyuv installed and tried using the VFW encoder?

yes i have. tried using all codecs, and huffyuv 2.1.1 too. got nothing but
"cannot render the file".

some more information about the machine please. and a logfile would be great.

1. intel core duo 1800, via s3g unichrom 64mb, 512mb ram
2. celeron 3GHz, gf6600gt, 1gb ram
3. athlon xp, gf6600gt, 2gb ram
all codecs are set.
kkapturelog.txt is empty.. ;(

Is this what the video PLAYER tells you? What player are you using?

yes, player. i tried much of them, some players tell "unknown codec" some "bad file" or "cannot render". i used wm9, media player classic, light alloy, crystal player, BSPlayer and someone else i never used before, i dont remember.

the graphics card and ram isn't particularly relevant - i was hoping to get some details on the windows version used (including language, since there are significant issues with video for windows on swedish-language windows versions for some reason - not just with kkapture, this is a general problem). file size of the resulting avi file would also help (if it's 0 bytes, something went wrong). and maybe just do a 5-second, 15fps, low-resolution capture of something and upload the avi somewhere so i can have a look.

sq, if you are still lost:
- How big is the resulting file(s)?
- Are you sure you used ".AVI (VfW, segmented)" as the encoder and "HuffyUV" as the video codec?
- Did the demo crash/lock up at the end? Try pressing CTRL-BREAK then so the file gets closed properly...
- Have you tried using VLC (VideoLAN) for playback?
- Have you tried opening the file(s) with a video editor like Avidemux2 or VirtualDub?
- Can you encode/view videos using a video editor (see above) and huffyuv?

Zine 13 Headlines doesn't work, at least on my machine - I get "Invalid Executable".. i am not sure that helps :(

Camden town is not working.

Good news:

Haujobb - Liquid... wen? --> working
Maturefurk - Lapsus --> working
Kewlers - Variform --> working

Bad news:
Threestate has leading when it comes to being incompatible with kkapture:
Threestate - Lost Vegas is not working. It seems to need keypressed or mouse moves to repaint itself...

rarefluid: Sounds like the same winxp-bug as some haujobb-software rendered prods.

what causes that bug? any ideas for a solution?

I believe the bug is simply that winxp has reduced the amount of WM_PAINT-messages sent to applications, and the demos rely on getting these at some points, but I don't know any specifics. Perhaps you can modify the kkapture-source to send a WM_PAINT-message to the foreground-window for every frame it tries to capture?

Maybe I'll fire up IDA when I'm home and see what's going on... Then again... maybe not :)

I did capture threestate's lost vegas by continuously pressing the shift key.
