Video
If you create a video, it's saved to ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/Ample/snap/MACHINE_NAME.
Two things to note:
- Videos get very big very fast.
- Videos are half-height (ie, 320 x 100 for IIgs). If you have
ffmpeginstalled, you can fix the screen size
with this command:ffmpeg -i 0000.avi -vf scale=iw:ih*2,setsar=1:1 -pix_fmt yuv420p 0000.mp4. This also converts
to mp4 (which is 90% smaller) and can be opened/edited with QuickTime.
MNG hasn't been popular in 20 years (Just kidding, it was never popular!) but MAME supports it. It was intended to replace animated gifs.
