[Joeyboy]

Thanks dude I appreciate it! I've seen some poor reviews for the Mountain Lion, is there anyway to avoid those pitfalls?

I had Mountain Lion on my imac(Had to downgrade because I didn't have enough ram)and I have had no problems with it. It ran perfect so you should be fine.

Bad Reviews for Mountain Lion?
It was an awesome Version!
As we speak, I'm running Mavericks, and I can say, there isn't much of a difference from Mountain Lion, and unlike Apple showed it off, it still feels as slow as any other OS X Version on my Macbook Pro, but it could be that I never made a fresh install on it, since I've bought it, back in 2011, and thus went from 10.6 to 10.7 to 10.8 to 10.9 over time.

Hey,

I just recorded a long video with the Mac version and when I clicked stop it failed finalising the video and I now have Capture 21_07_2013 20_11_05.dcrecord which I can explore and there is a .mov inside it but is not recognised by VLC or QuickTime. Is there a way to recover the video? I had people down from out of town to record the cast and really need the footage? Is it possible to retrieve?

Thanks a lot,
Ace

Hey Smoosh,

Just downloaded the beta to perform some small tests. I just encountered the same problem as nintendosushis. None of the recordings finalize correctly, so I'm left with .dcrecord files. However, if you "show package contents" and copy the "merged" .mov file out of it, it works perfectly.

Couple of things that I found as well...
1) The skins are awesome!! However, with the "active layout" option in the record tab in preferences, I don't get two separate files (one w/ skin, one w/out skin). (This is just something I noticed, not something I really care about or anything...if you are going to use a skin, why do you need a file without the skin LOL )
2) In preferences, you have to press the record tab 2x for it to show anything. Sometimes the same for selecting preferences from the DualCapture menu.
3) In the record tab, the "game audio" pull down is completely un-selectable, although it was in the alfa, so I'm a bit confused on that.

And a question,
We have to wait for loopy to release a firmware update for the board so we can record USB audio, correct?

Thanks and I hope this helps,

Yes, the board firmware also needs to be updated.

Hey @ShodanWii

If I copy the .mov file out of the show package contents, nothing will play the file. Did you need to do anything to it to get it to work?

Cheers,

I see. Is there a firmware update available now, or are you still working on it? Thanks for the answer!

I'm running 10.8.4, and it's running in quicktime perfectly, both in and outside of "show package contents." I was also able to play it in VLC.

EDIT: Now that I've installed DualCapture (beta) on my 27" iMac, I've had absolutely no issues with any of the bugs I mentioned above in the last post. That only happened on my laptop (which isn't a big deal because I'm mainly recording off of my desktop anyways).

If anyone can get this working, I will be eternally grateful

I've tried Final Cut Pro, VLC, Quicktime and Compressor and none will open it.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried making another recording? It's very possible that file just became corrupted. I cannot get it to work either. I've recorded several videos since then, all of them work, so try creating another recording!

As I just mentioned, I've made several recordings. I noticed that when recording via the line-in input and through the capture program, the audio immediately trails the video starting at around 1:30-2:30 minute mark. If I use the program LineIn (to route the line-in through the default output) and use screenflow, the audio stays in sync the entire video. I'm not sure what's causing the lagging.

BTW, when you make it available, for the narrator voice-over...can you make it record to a separate file? I like to mix around the audio levels.

Hope this helps!
