Gameplay Recording

Dolphin Emulator is a free and open-source emulator for two of Nintendo's recent video game consoles, the Wii and the GameCube. It allows PC gamers to enjoy games for these two consoles in full HD (1080p) and with several enhancements.

Apart from playing games, the emulator can also be used to record gameplay, and to take high-quality screenshots.

Prerequisites

 * See here (Dolphin Emulator) on how to install the emulator.
 * As a second step, a game disc is needed. The game can be provided in ISO or WBFS format, or in its extracted form. Please see the article Dolphin Emulator Game Management or !!!!!!!!!!!!!

=Tutorial: Recording Gameplay with Dolphin= Dolphin Emulator has an internal recording feature, which by far creates the highest quality video files. Unlike screen recording programs (Camtasia and others), Dolphin will directly record the emulator output to a lossless file.

The biggest advantage over external tools is, that Dolphin will use a timestamps file to keep the recording synchronized and play the output at 100% speed. That means, no matter how slow your computer is, Dolphin will always record the output without delays or stuttering. Please note that on very old PCs, the recording process can take quite a long time.

There are two different methods to record the gameplay. With the first method, the output is recorded directly, the other involves using Input Recording. The second method is a bit more complicated to set up, but the recording process is much smoother and it's also possible to use savestates. On old computers it's recommended to use the second method.

The output will be recorded into a file. FFV1, which stands for FF video codec 1, is a lossless intra-frame video codec, which will be used for the process. The resulting output files are huge, and need to be converted to a different format in the final step.
