Reading the thread and submission, not having watched it myself yet (will do soon), I want to ask a question: how many people really think this should be starred?

He fucked it all up completely, Encoder rank was taken away forever, no one should return in. The only thing Sam is allowed to do is temp encodes on his own channel, I will never use any of his encodes for any publications.

Anty-Lemon is the person to crack longest Dolphin runs just like that and so she's a publisher now! Yay!

Yes. It still doesn't work after I amended the script. I will encode the YouTube now and I will encode the MKV after.

I'm getting insane. I open your freaking script, fix the lines I told you to fix and it WORKS!

A = AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")
B = AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")

What' the point? Just leave

AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")

as it is originally.

I downloaded the package and set stackNDSscreens to true and it worked instantly!

Redownload the package. Go to line 54 and set stackNDSscreens to true. You were using some hacky stuff instead that you shouldn't have used.

Ewww, that's ugly. Reuploaded the package. Samlaptop: open encode.avs and go to lines 158-159. Replace

Language: avisynth
	dupinfo="F:/Encode/TASEncodingPackage/temp/dup.txt", \
	times="F:/Encode/TASEncodingPackage/temp/times.txt" \

with

Language: avisynth
	dupinfo="./temp/dup.txt", \
	times="./temp/times.txt" \

Also: do not encode downloadables with the third screen! It doesn't make sense as they're anyway native resolution. Only for HD encode there's this option.

Something similar was happening to me, but in totally different conditions. My original audio in SA2 tracks wasn't 2x long though, I got this happening only when trying to splice 2 segments with MP4Box, so I don't think it's related.

Not necessarily. I mean, if you refer to 2x encodes, they're not always needed. Edit: How is Crash concerned here? Also, there it seems to be a single checkbox that I didn't tick that'd fix it.

Redo the downloadables. 4x native downscaled (by emulator) looks WAY better than plain original.

So we're finally moving to 60fps youtube! It's not absolutely standard for browsers, and not all viewers use browsers that have full support for it, so we'll be using some safe strats. Encoders: https://sourceforge.net/p/feos-tas/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Misc/TASEncodingPackage2.7z?format=raw (test first!) Always check the dump and see how heavily the game relies on alternate frame flickering. If not too much (even if it's there), you can encode strait 60fps HD, YouTube now has a smart frame-drop algorithm to not kill blinking totally for those who can't go 60fps. If it's a game with sprite limit being overcame by the amount of objects on the screen, which causes heavy flickering, or the TASer abused alternate frame movement, use ng_deblink (but without frame drop). It will leave all the motion 60fps, and only blinking objects will become translucent (as they do on TV) for those who can't watch 60fps. It is known that any 50fps footage also requires deblink. Viewers: 60fps HD encodes now can be watched from movie modules and discussion threads (wiki modules will follow soon). To watch them you need Google Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer 11. See details here.

endrift: Can you record a real-time play in your emulator and check how it would sync?

Movie file name kind of tells you what emulator build to use to get past resets. http://rghost.ru/6SLxvdc9K However it desyncs right after reset, just as the author reported. EDIT: It was said that bkDJ got it to sync by dumping, but for me it simply crashes if I dump during reset. Most likely it's a lost case.

That old encode doesn't do aspect ratio correction, so they're both wrong, and the best thing to do would be to reencode it altogether. Not sure I should repalce a video that sounds wrong with one that looks wrong.

So are these "time wasting for entertainment in an already boring run" techniques allowed for Vault or not?
