Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted December 22, 2023 Content Provider Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Hi, I have coded an AutoHotkey script to capture video for playfield, backglass, and fullDMD screens for PinballY. Why? I am capturing all three screens simultaneously, so it is a lot quicker than Pinball Y's built-in screen recorder. And it is cool to have the DMD display synchronous with action on the playfield. I built it for attract mode, but it could be adapted for gameplay capture on a cabinet. It is OBS-Studio based. It will capture Future Pinball as well as Visual Pinball. It can be adapted to work with any games that players run on a cabinet. PinballY's GDI-based capture does not support Future Pinball. It takes advantage of GPU-based encoding and hardware acceleration to perform near real-time single pass captures even on my modest hardware configuration - better quality output, done faster, and with smaller file sizes. It's the latest step in the automated media capture work that I started back in 2014. Check it out! Attached includes instructions.

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted January 15 Author Content Provider Share Posted January 15 I can confirm that the script works with the current OBS Studio v30.0.2 and the current stable release of ffmpeg v6.1.1. It's the way I capture media, so I will keep checking it against current toolsets every few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
