Sorry if this is double posted, I got
a reply ststing it hadn't
I have tried multiple things to get
the recording feature working. Here is an example of what I'm getting
in the log file:

If I try to paste the string from a command prompt
I get the following error:

If I remove -tv from the config file it creates the
avi file and starts counting frames, but the file comes out at about 3k with
nothing in it. Below is the output:

assistence would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
