What's the problem? Describe what went wrong in few words.
When I dump frames, I get a framedump.raw, but not .avi files.
What did you expect to happen instead?
That i'd get .avi files with the dumped recording
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Record a movie
- Start dumping frames
- Stop dumping frames
- In the Frames folder, there is only a framedump.raw
Dolphin 3.5 and 3.5-367 are old versions of Dolphin that have
known issues and bugs, so don't report issues about them and test the
latest Dolphin version first.
Which versions of Dolphin did you test on?
4.0-3587
Does using an older version of Dolphin solve your issue? If yes, which
versions of Dolphin used to work?
No

You need to compile Dolphin with libav/ffmpeg support. It's not included in buildbot builds for filesize reasons.

-Make sure you're comfortable with using Terminal, because if you aren't, this is gonna be a real short trip.
-Install Xcode from the App Store and open it so it installs various requisite tools. (Or just be lazy and install the Command Line Tools separately. I prefer having full Xcode around, though.)
-For completion's sake (and because the next two tools need it) run these two commands in Terminal:
xcode-select --install
sudo xcodebuild -license
-Install Homebrew: http://brew.sh/ MacPorts works fine too, but I've moved away from it since a) it unnecessarily requires root and b) you have to reinstall it and every port when you upgrade OS X. https://www.macports.org/
-Install ffmpeg via whichever thing you installed: "brew install ffmpeg" or "sudo port install ffmpeg"
Also install cmake, you need that to actually compile.
-Compile Dolphin via our GitHub wiki's instructions: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/wiki/Building-for-Mac-OS-X
Basically boils down to:
git clone https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin
cd dolphin
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make -j5

Ok, and now I've installed this version of Dolphin I can just play back a movie, start dumping the frames, and a .avi will pop up in my ~/Username/Library/Application Support/Dolphin/Dump/Frames. Am I right by assuming this?

Yeah, I guess. I haven't tried it myself, I just know that ffmpeg/libav is required for .avi dumping.

Hmmm, I still only seem to get a framedump.raw. Am I doing something wrong?
