I'd guess there isn't a perfect movie, each can be improved by at least 1 frame. I might be wrong, but a perfect movie? I can't imagine. Besides that, I really think only brute force, or AI which completely understand the game's algorithm, is able to perform a perfect run. But who knows?
I think this is true in many cases where the movies are somewhat long and somewhat complicated. I didn't really consider stuff like monopoly or king's bounty though.

I think SMB3 qualifies as a perfect movie you don't spend 80,000 re-records on a short 10 min game for nothing, espeacially when the movies have been obselted many times before.

Vegas Stakes is probably frame-perfect, barring some undiscovered glitch (which, really, is the case with any run perceived as frame-perfect).

I thought that rerecords doesn't count in a "perfect" movie, because you should use as much as you need, and not as lower as possible.

SMB1 (the newest version) is also probably perfect. and who said that many re-records is a bad thing?

No-one did. It's just that it doesn't actually show how "perfect" a movie is. Remember SprintGod's S3&K run with 160K rerecords? Got improved by 10 minutes. Or Bisqwit & Shinryuu's Rockman 2 with more than 220K rerecords not counting endless BisqBot's bruteforce attempts? Got improved by several seconds without using any bots at all, with much less rerecords. So, apparently, rerecord count hardly tells anything aside from approximate measures of how thorough the author was.

well, we can just assume that it takes a lot of rerecords to find the quickest way to do something, and not quite so many to refine it.

I'd rather say the opposite. Although I believe it heavily depends on the game itself and one's dedication to the refinement.

Refinement is part of finding the quickest way. It takes a lot of rerecords. Repeating what's already found previously, does not take many rerecords.

How should a watcher know how close it is to optimal length? A impressed one would think, "Wow, I didn't think you can do this glitch and I never thought of using this at that place! This HAS to be optimal!" or something. Most of the watcher aren't familiar with the in-game mechanism, glitches, sequence breaking and whatever. How should such a person know if this is perfect? And quite nobody does frame-per-frame analysis to find out, "Hey! This can be improved by 1 frame!".
That's why the vote is an opinion in the same way as the entertainment vote is.

If it's just an opinion, then why did you start this whole topic to try to decide exactly how people should be voting on it? Shouldn't people be voting however they perceive they should be voting? Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form. Invalid Session. Please resubmit the form.

Ok, done. On-topic: I might not have posted in this thread yet, but I think you all know my opinion about the technical rating, which I posted in this thread (it may have even triggered the creation of this thread, but that's probably taking too much credit :p ).

Because people should know what is it that they should give an opinion about. The voting system is asking on the voter's opinion on something concrete, not just a random opinion on a vague and unprecise thing. If the question is vague and misleading, the voting is useless. If the question is clear and precise, the votes become valuable.
