A source-safe workflow
1Preserve the source and baselineCopy the file and note game and app versions, display mode, audio devices, encoder, destination, and free space.
2Create a sixty-second reproductionUse real-match conditions and include fast movement, game effects, microphone speech, and any required voice path.
3Inspect each result separatelyIn both the original app and an independent player, verify video, every audio source, frame pacing, seeking, and size.
4Change only one variableAdjust one setting directly tied to the observed failure, then repeat the same sample and compare.
