How hard would it be to let dosbox emit a newer container format? I remember AVI being quite bad re overhead.

- tracker1 7y agoIs it the write overhead and/or read overhead... I don't know in this case, but it can really vary. Also, depending on the hardware and what's running inside dosbox, most current hardware for at least half a decade should be able to keep up fine. More so on SSD.
- akx 7y agoI think AVI is being used because it's apparently _very_ easy to write a valid AVI file without extra libraries: https://github.com/svn2github/dosbox/blob/acd380bcde72db74f3b476253899016f686bc0ef/src/hardware/hardware.cpp#L132 https://github.com/svn2github/dosbox/blob/acd380bcde72db74f3...
