Re: [hatari-users] AVI Record problem

[Grazey <grazey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Doug/Nic

It definitely seems a size issue (ooer) as the error message doesn't 
occur when I have a shorter
capture, e.g. less than 90 seconds. For HIPSid I was wanting a 10 minute 
or so video. Even with
PNG-9 compression I'll struggle to create long videos. HIPSid has a 
shuffle mode, the entire
song list lasts 9 hours 21 minutes.

Seems I'll just have to post snippets.
