Anyone know of a way to record the output of a VGA card? (like a video capture card)

It should be cheap. (under $100)

If I get one I'd record "The Big Red Adventure" which runs PERFECT on an old computer of mine.

No "big red adventure" I guess...

Hey PuttPutt,
What we are doing is, I think, Kind of a new thing.
We are pretty limited to the tools that are at
our disposal for recording video games.
Have you checked out Rickyc's guide?
He has pretty much covered everything in it.
Anything beyond his guide is stuff that will have
to be researched and tested.
Most of the problems that arise from things in Rickyc's
guide can be solved with trial and error.
But not all of them....I am still having trouble with
combining MP4 files to make 1 large file.
One thing that you must consider is that you need a
pretty fast PC that can handle the recording while
running 2 or 3 programs at once.
I will be glad to help you anyway that I can, but I am
only familiar with most of the recording procedures that
are described by Rickyc.

When I say "old" I mean REALLY old...

the processor's a 486...

Can You just use DOSBox instead of old PC? DOSBox runs quite good in VGA mode on my Pentium III 1,2GHz laptop.

As you can see from this video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noKPXqHwass dosbox doesn't emulate the sound correctly yet.

Here's the trick: the game uses EMM386 for interfacing with the sound card. (Stupidest way in the world!)

but dosbox doesn't emulate EMM386 fully yet.

so the result is that on a pc without EMM386 installed it's worse than on dosbox, but when EMM386 is installed it runs PERFECT!

Yes, I see there is terrible sound problems. But how about real PC emulator such as VMware which has AVI output and on which You can install real DOS 6.22 with EMM?

It has AVI output???

I gotta try this!!!

the sound card it emulates is not compatible with MS-DOS.
