freezes up nestopia for me

It looks like Nestopia is freezing, but it's actually doing the conversion. If you check your CPU load, you'll see that it's using about 50% of processing power. You have to give it a pretty long time to fully convert. A twelve minute game will take about 20-25 minutes to encode to AVI depending on your computer.

What is the size of the video? I wonder if they capped the output size back in the day when hard drive space wasn't so readily available. Perhaps you need to either use a codec that will compress or else it needs to be changed in the source.

The nsv file was 20.5 KB. When I tried to convert to avi using Nestopia the 2:24 clip was 1 GB. I just wanted the whole game so I could throw it into Movie Maker and just keep the big plays or highlights.

Yeah, the 1GB limit sounds about right from what I remember.

I might hit up the Nestopia message board about the issue, but those guys pretty much hate everyone and/or answering questions.

Does your computer use FAT32 or NTFS? The FAT cutoff would be 2 GB, AFAIK. Might be something weird with the codec he's selected though.

I am not much of a computer buff, so could you help me out with how to find this out or what these mean... lol?

It is like you are in a really important business meeting and everyone is speaking Japanese or something.

You use NTFS. Even if you used Fat32 why would the cutoff be 1GB.

Codec = The method by which the video is encoded. I would ask what the preferred codec is.

So you were able to export the whole video directly with nestopia?

Yes. I clipped the "Play of the Game" from the entire video using Movie Maker (after it was converted to avi). I used Cinepak Codec by Radius with 100 compression quality at 8 frames. Took about 20 minutes to encode the 18 minute game.

Cinepak Codec by Radius is one of the options you can choose to export in Nestopia. I changed the quality to 100.
