Hello every game lovers and TAS lovers. First forgive that i'm not good in english. thanks! I have made a test run video for a Genesis's game (emulator: Gens11svn. download from link that shown at Tasvideo homepage) but it had splited to 6 files. So what should i do to link all 6 files to a complete video? or able record whole playthrough without splited? (and I'm not ready upload this video because I don't know if that is shortest route or not and can't find any trick or etc on internet. I just want to learn more about TAS now)

Do they all have the same resolution? In that case it's easy with Avisynth: 
Language: Avisynth
AVISource("1.avi", "2.avi", "3.avi", "4.avi", "5.avi", "6.avi")
Otherwise you have to convert them to the same resolution: 
Language: Avisynth
Open("1.avi") +\
Open("2.avi") +\
Open("3.avi") +\
Open("4.avi") +\
Open("5.avi") +\
Open("6.avi")


function Open(string FileName)  {
        # Genesis resolutions: x=256,320; y=224,240,448,480
        # 256   = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
        # 320   = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2         * 5
        # final = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 = 1280
        AVISource(FileName)
        last = (Height==224)  ?  AddBorders(0,  8, 0,  8)  :
        \      (Height==448)  ?  AddBorders(0, 16, 0, 16)  :  last
        PointResize(1280, 960)
}
Note that this adds black borders to NTSC games, which you can cut off with Crop(0, 32, 0, 32) after the Open calls.

No problem. :) Youtube reduces the quality of low-resolution videos more than necessary, so uploading a 1280x960 or 1280x896 video would look better. This game seems to have "60-Hz flickering" effects... You may want to use ng_deblink or TASBlend to make the flickering graphics visible on Youtube.
