Hi,

thanks for your suggestion.

It would work OK for one recording (a cracktro as I suggested..) but if 
you want to record, say a megademo, you would need to restart Hatari for 
each screen and make memory snapshots for each screen, not exactly a nice 
way to work. A timer in the title bar or statusbar would be ideal.

Also it seems strange to me that --run-vbls and --avi-crop are hidden from
the GUI.
