I've ran it through MPlayer, through VLC player, through Adobe After Effects, through Virtual Dub, and a ton of other things, and every time, it comes up saying "cannot read video" and it only reads audio; i've got a TON of codec packs on my computer too, so it's not like i'd be missing basic codecs...

Anyone know why it's only recording audio or of any way to fix this?

Install the ZMBV video codec included with your DOSBox installation and the videos will play correctly. You can then use something like VirtualDub to re-encode them to a different format, if you want.
