Hooray!!! I can finally record TAS videos from Zero Gravity with the new revision of Dolphin! It's been, like, 6-7 years since I wanted to be able to do that but older revisions just wouldn't work when it came to recording TAS videos from this game. Now that it is finally possible to do that...you know what that means? That means, I can record the gameplay like I always do and only then max out graphical settings in Dolphin to record in THE HIGHEST possible quality. EVER! Here's my first video of this kind. Unlike all of my previous Zero Gravity gameplay videos (I did record the first Riders in real 4K), which were upscaled to 4K from 1080p, this one IS 4K and with the highest graphical settings applied. Look at this gorgeous stuff:

Native x8 (5120:4224) for 5K
Screen Resolution: 3840x2160
Anti-Aliasing: 8x SSAA
Anisotropic Filtering: 16x
FPS: 60 fps

Like I said, absolutely gorgeous stuff even though it does require quite some time to record even a short video (I think the recording speed is somewhere around 2-3 frames per second, sometimes slightly more)! Basically, I used the same settings when recording my previous video from Shadow the Hedgehog (Prison Island Dark Mission).

The only problem is the codec. New revisions of Dolphin use the FFV1 lossless codec for the dump frames feature and while my video player opens it without any issues, Sony Vegas does not, so I have to use Virtual Dub to convert the video to lossless .avi and the file size is...Let's say it's more than 200 GB. And that's just to import the video to Vegas. After that I need to sync it with the sound and edit the music in. All in all, several hours just for a 3 minute video. Insane amount of time and effort, if you ask me. Oh well, at least I didn't have to work on the preview image as much as I had to for my last couple of ZG videos (there's editing involved).

If anyone knows the way to make Vegas support the FFV1 codec, please, let me know, I would really appreciate any help.:)

Thanks for bearing with me and reading all this)).
