Would it look okay if I don't stretch NES encode to 4:3 with avs, but do it with youtube tag instead?

Do you mean having a submission for these platforms, or just being able to watch runs on them?

If you don't click 3D button. the video is just unwatchable. For me the encode from OP never loads, disables navigation, volume and quality. If you press that button and then press again to switch 3D off, the vid gets stretched horizontally to full width. Just try all these things.

It's always better to post WIPs in a Games section, where you shall create a thread for this game, if there's no one yet.

I watched it all. All 30 minutes! This is the second time I do that at all, the first was that glitched out SNES MegaMan movie. This means the game is really fantastic. Divine graphical style, cool music, dynamical gameplay. But the movie really looks sub-optimal. First thing to mention is that strange physics when you stop after each jump - but sometimes not. Then you go back or forward for no obvious reason in some places, like at entering the doors or turning the switches, or on the ladders. Also, if you are about to fall into a whole, you shall jump into it to get the most speed and reach the floor sooner (avoiding hitting corners, surely). Or these electric charges on the floor. When you go back a bit before it turns off, you can start moving right earlier and already have some acceleration right at the moment of it switching off, being just near it at this moment. Why did you kill so many enemies you could just jump over and ignore? So, this needs just some basic movement optimisation I believe. The rerecord count shows that too (if it's real). To make this optimisation you just need to run each level or just room several times in a row, trying to speed up everything you could miss at the first time. That method always ends up improving the things you didn't expect to improve. http://tasvideos.org/Guidelines.html http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/CommonTricks.html http://tasvideos.org/GenericTips.html EDIT: making a fast encode. No HD this time.

Kyman, which service do you prefer to download from? Torrents work pretty odd for me. The file is 63MB. Can you download from ifolder.ru?

No plugins at all. And this problem lasts for more than a year, during which I reinstalled the system and opera a couple of times.

11.62 as well as the older versions down to 10. Didn't test the older ones.

Only in the "Edit info" section I'm afraid. It's also on the upload page. "Disable 3D for this video". Did "disable 3D tag youtube" search not work?

I believe giving only high ratings has nothing to do with weight of the vote. Someone may really care only about awesome runs and rate them only. But have a good eye on everything. I mean, he doesn't want to give low rates to the movie he can't watch. Also, about author's rates. The author not just remembers how he tased the game, but he knows the things that average viewer can miss during watching. The author knows all these, but other people may need to watch it several times in a row to notice. So, he really may give a reasonable entertainment rating. What we reay need to do I think is improving our voting guidelines, reminding the important factors that help to give objective rates. See my page. And as for players voters, I think the higher the score, the more weight the rate shall have. And at some point it shall overcome 1. Probably after 1000. And players with score around 100 definitely not have such a trained eye. PS: The rating shall not ever depend on mood, only on real feeling about the amount of the work and on the resulting impression. And if someone votes by mood only, we shall work out a method to minimize that abuse. That;s why we shall set different weight for differently scored players.

After FCEUX 2.1.6 is out, because my movie represents the new movie format, aka TASEditor project with tons of marker notes. Actually the movie is available here: http://code.google.com/p/feos-tas/downloads/list The proper emulator is there too.

What's with this 2D => 3D feature at all? I killes navigation, sound adjustment, quality options and even resizes the shit out of the video. The video gets processed for a view forever and if I turn off the 3D not disabling it for the video, doesn't show the vid at all! And it happens in all browsers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyClSssQeIc I suggest to bring up a list of videos that were set to 3D by youtube and call for uploaders to disable this option in the video settings. For now something can be seen here: http://tasvideos.org/Natt/YoutubeFormatList.html

Don't forget to post WIPs here when you start. Sounds quite promising.

BTW progressing sound desync may be caused by mkv muxing script that contains "--compression 1:none" that must be set to 0 or -1.

This isn't really a glitch. The game has a random mode where everything on the screen is placed at random, and this one just has the end close by.
It's actually depends on the System time the game was started, and it's actually very difficult to do this, since the ending would get interrupted almost all the time.

Yes vote because of this. We have problems with random buttons to get us to the credits, but setting a game to random mode and leading it to true end by manipulating this randomness is perfectly acceptable.

I'm giving up the 2 player run because of shitty behaviour of the second boss. "Has no randomness"? Huh! I copy the current run's input for that boss and it doesn't work! And making my own input I can not at all charge my second attack in time, the boss flies up. The copied imput fails to charge even the first attack! The main factor here is that you need to walk on the ground with your carried partner to charge it, but not while the wind is blowing. Either it stops blowing too late, or the boss ges down too early. Maybe that reads from RNG for something, but you can affect RNG value only by waiting during the level, that gets it out of sync. That somehow proves my philosophy of not trying to improve the old runs without true timesavers. Even if I polish it, no one will notice the difference, and stupid record is not my goal at TASVideos.
