=== CONTEXT AND PREVIOUS APPROACHES ===
My public thanks here go out to any, each, all, and every human being who tried to provide any sort of useful advice here...
https://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=5728092
The suggested approaches sort-of worked, in a sort-of manner.
I will estimate twenty to thirty total hours in fruitless attempts to do this via purely software screen capture.
They work on the small screen version, but totally crap out when DosBox goes Full Screen
I am now convinced that this goal does not have an immediately workable _Software_Only_ implementation
My Goal...
- On Windows 7, Run DosBox
- Go full Screen
- Execute various historical examples of software from that Era
- Record the screen, and my voice, while I am interacting with the software
- Save all that in a normal video file (AVI, MPEG, Whatever)
I want the screen recording to look the same as it does on my screen as I sit in front of it.
i.e.,
I want the viewer to see exactly what I see as I'm making the recording.
i.e.,
A pixel for pixel duplicate, at the same speed.
And....
All this recorded in an MPEG (or whatever) file that plays on a regular PC/Mac/Linux/whatever machine.
Am I going to have to build a special PC for this ?
I don't believe that this current Windows 7 PC has an HDMI plug, nor does the monitor.
As far as I can tell, the graphics card is made for one single monitor.
I welcome advice, suggestions, and directions from anyone who has done this or something similar in the past.
Thank you for reading these 276 words

This sound a lot like the gamers who stream / record their gameplay (screen) and themselves (webcam) on a smaller frame on the side.
Only that you record the other stuff instead of a game.
But I don't know which software do they exactly use.
What I suggested you back then in the other thread won't do it in such a resolution as you ask. If you set 24 frames / sec that will increase the memory needs a lot.
But if you manage to configure your monitor like that and you don't have that memory problem, it is still worth a try as it saves your monitor in a sort of WYSIWYG
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I have an older version of this Movavi Screen Recorder 2021 Personal [PC Download] [^] and it is super easy to use and I believe it has the features you want and is only $39.95
Quote:
* Create screencasts,
*record Skype and Zoom chats,
*capture online video and audio
* Record screens, webcam, and microphone output separately or simultaneously
* Schedule your recordings and capture the screen even if you’re away
* Share screenshots via WhatsApp and Telegram, upload videos to Google Drive and YouTube
* Show keyboard actions and highlight cursor movements
Super inexpensive solution and I have had great success with it on Windows.

I've seen that my colleagues use Zoom for screen recording.
Start a new meeting (for just yourself), share your screen and record it. When you end the meeting it will create / convert the video (and audio). It does compress it, I'm not sure if you can change the settings for the output quality.

I use MS Expression Encoder, but with multiple monitors.
Run what I'm capturing on one monitor (full screen) and initiate / select from another.
I may have used it with one monitor, but probably in a windowed mode; can't see trying to communicate with it if "DOS" has control of the entire screen.

Hi All,
My work laptop out of the blue just re-started, no warning, no nothing. Windows 10 having done an update? Office 365 ill? time of month? It's just so annoying. 
|
|
|
|
|
My first guess is that it was an important Windows 10 update (hold the snickers, I know  ).
I would check your Windows 10 update log to confirm.
If not, then I would check your system event logs (errors, sys info, etc.).
After that, then I start Googling, TBH.

Yep. Mine too - Kubuntu.
But, annoyingly, work insists that I have a Windows laptop. And, sadly, that is the position many businesses take. Adoption of Linux desktop machines, has nothing to do with it's capabilities. It's simply down to the huge investment that, pretty much, every business, (and public body), has made in the Microsoft stack.

My place still is Win7 for their VM's and desktops (when they supply them). So far, so good.
However - there's good news in that (nearly) everything has been moved to a private network and they all work through their browsers: O/S agnostic !
There are still a few applications out there (and amazingly, one they had me write last week) but it's a utility. Meanwhile, the few applications left are being moved to browsers.
So - it could be eased in with hardly anyone noticing.

Hmmm, this is a work PC, not that I disagree.

Well, maybe you can point out to the legal owners that Microslut's running software on their systems without asking and yet takes no responsibility for what they do with your PC's content, oprability, or security.

I choose my computer by the problems it can solve for me. That is the prime criterion - problem solving ability. Regardless of what kind of engine it uses to do the task.
If my current PC cannot solve a problem of mine, and I have to obtain new tools, the quality of those tools will affect my decision. I am talking about tools as I see them as a user, for solving my problems. Not tools for solving other problems than mine. And again: The engine driving those tools may be whatever.
When buying a new car, I considered electric models. None of them satisfied my needs for transportation. When I (10+ years ago) needed to upgrade my video editing equipment, I considered a Mac, based on its long-lasting reputation as the professional's choice. My investigation showed that it wouldn't satisfy my needs - the old, professional level tools had been replaced by amateur quality. In several rounds, I have investigated (read: Had operating) Linux machines to evaluate them as alternatives to my current tools. They have failed miserably. The engine inside may be OK, but the user level tools simply do not solve any of my problems that my current tools do not solve in better ways.
Maybe Linux is a good engine. But for me, it is not a good car. I prefer a great car, even if there may may be better engines out there.

Fair enough, but how the hell does that relate to Win-Doh's 10 ?

Could it possibly be because it relates to where you find great user level tools?
(I think 99% of the readers saw that, so this comment is a special service to you (and other *nix affectionados).

A bit subjective to be laid upon 99% of the users. No?

It probably does not help, but it happened to famous people here @chris-maunder in a recent past, IIRC.
|
|
|
|
|
Well if it can happen to him (on his Mac?) it can happen to anyone
|
|
|

Actually, with tech, it's the other way around: If it can happen (to anyone) it'll happen to me.
I break things.
I can't even get my airpods to stay paired these days.

No admittedly I don't own airpods or even a reasonable facsimile, but aren't these those things that make someone look like they've a broken cigarette out of each ear?
If so, just simply keep them stored in your ears and you'll have them properly paired.

Have you checked if you have one male and one female ?
Should not matter anymore these days, but sometimes technology can be quite old-fashioned.

Settings -> Update and Security. Change the active hours so it doesn't do it while you are working.

That would imply we are trusted enough to have access to the settings, just tried it & no. We have to 'buy' software licences for a project, it seems the US side won't trust anyone (a case of 'In God we trust, All other cash'?)
