Finally. You seem to be lacking the proper logo for NDS. Also, you don't seem to preview your script in VirtualDub with hd parameter set to true.

Send to pastebin the context of that error you posted. Or simply make a screenshot.

That looks quite amazing!
The general workflow for Dolphin is as follows:
Get an avsync build that syncs and has all the features needed for the submission, unless it's done on a revision where it's all already included.
Dump with a lossless codec, at highest anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering settings possible, at highest internal resolution your monitor allows.
natt's vfr to cfr converter is then applied to video, Ilari's GapFix is applied to audio, and target framerate is calculated depending on the game.
For downloadable SDs, downscale it to 640x480 (if the source is 4:3) or 640x360 (for 16:9) using LanczosResize. It has been noted that when dumping at 2x or 4x, downscaling looks better when Bilinear is used (someone should confirm this). Also, SD may look better when dumping it at native res at all, like it would not have redundant blur in it.
For youtuber, you either upscale by 2, or don't upscale at all, if the dump's resolution is already high enough (like 1440p and higher). Method is not known for sure, it might be either PointResize, or LanczosResize. Someone should clarify this.
Once you've done configuring the above with your avisynth script, you encode it using commands from my TASEncodingPackage, or even using the package itself, since it has quite some important tweaks. The commands in it are the most up-to-date and proper, unless your case is exceptional.
Then you upload to TVC and Archive if it's a publication, or wherever else you wish otherwise.
For anything you don't know already, request links and I'll post them. Looking at your skills, I think you could very well encode for publications.

Sounds cool! How did you encode it?
For workbench runs, it doesn't matter whether you use 60fps or not, since you host those encodes on your own channel. But I'm going to make an official announcement about moving to 60fps for publication encodes as well.

Hi. It all depends on what your connection allows you to do. The point of encoders is to send their encodes to Archive.org and YouTube, and while standard definition downloadables may be not too huge (100MB average?), youtube streams are around 1GB among most of the platforms, but may be quite a bit bigger, up to dozens of GBs.
http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14327
If you can afford this, there are 2 kinds of roles you might take. There usually are submissions with no encode in the workbench, so the easiest job is to encode them and put somewhere on youtube, or mediafire, or mega.
http://tasvideos.org/Guidelines.html#Feedback
And finally, if you can do more, there is a job to make official encodes for publications, that is descried by the thread link I gave above.

There's no precedent for a TAS on tasvideos being accepted that uses TAS tools built into the game, rather than provided by a separate emulator (or Hourglass). For example, the answer to 'Can a Doom TAS using the in-game demo replay feature be submitted here' has always been 'no'.

I also have a feature request: logging continuation IDs along with start date/size/hashsum. Allows to not rehash something that was interrupted, like a crash, or manual stop. Even when stopping manually, it's not always possible to look up the continuation ID above, because for me, each time it wants to update the line where it tells the uploaded size and stuff, it starts a new line.

So it makes scrolling up to see the continuation ID impossible.

Change the line nds = (last.height == 384) ? false : false to nds = (last.height == 384) ? true : false and preview with hd = true.

I forgot to mention: it's for files smaller than 50MB and they will be removed in a few days. It's the easiest was to share something small fast though.

Could you guys PM Aglar about this submission? Possibly he also had some ideas he never posted anywhere.

Upload "encode_youtube.mkv fa1a4f567b7732f1ca6671644539ba86 36.77 GB" won't be resumed, I found a bug, will send a fixed version.

In the tier redesign discussion thread it was proposed that the current "vault" tier could actually be elevated to this position more strictly. In other words, it would contain all "any%" and "100%" runs regardless of entertainment, and all other goals would go to other tiers. This would increase the clarity of the tiers, remove subjectivity, and help erase the bad rep that the vault tier has.
If this redesign is ever done, then creating some kind of new special kind of tier, where things like board games could fit, ought to be possible.
To repeat the original intent of tier redesign, judging system would remain exactly the same, entertainment borderlines would be judged on the same grounds, only the overall look would be different.

Frankly I don't see the point in adding more tiers. I can easily see how a board game run could be entertaining enough for Moon Tier, similar to the famous Family Feud run. But other than that I agree that "non-entertaining board games" don't belong in the Vault, and I don't see how it adds value to the site to create a new tier for non-entertaining board games.
Just read the discussions of Othello and Scrabble. I was personally very surprised to see so much positive reaction to such games and such runs (from myself too).
