If you're using the ng_bighalo from http://pastebin.com/j29A92vf
The drop shadow isn't too fancy, just an extra section of halo with the same transparency as the main text.
If you aren't using a semi-transparent halo, it won't do anything.
The shadow is made up of point pairs.
ng_bighalo("Hello World", size=128, shadow=" 20 -30")
Play around with the numbers to change the relative placement.
shadow=" -1 -2 -2 -4 -3 -6 -4 -8"
Would be similar to the default " -4 -8", but the extra points would make things look smoother.
Thickness would be halo, but it is a pain to set up all the points.
Using halo_radius will have the computer calculate all the points for you.
This can be really slow.
Is it possible to lay PNGs or GIFs that have transparency, over another clip? When I tried it in the past, I think I couldn't even open GIFs and with PNGs the transparent parts would be black and blocky.

How do I make 2 videos combine to one another.
Not this StackHorizontal or StackVertical, I mean a 320x240 video combing with a 512x240 and having something combine the two to be the 320x240 video first then followed by the 512x240 later.
2 games that I can give examples on with changing ratios (both PS) Castlevania (SoN) and Croc.

Is there a simple way to convert .mkv and .avi files into .mp4 format without A) losing a ton of quality or B) Having a huuuuge file afterward (Tried converting a 11GB 1080p mkv in VLC, came out 79GB lmao).
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

1. Check the source video bitrate.
2. Pick a good codec.
3. Config it for the same bitrate for output.
4. ?????
5. Profit!

You probably shouldn't be converting at all.
mkv, avi, and mp4 are containers, you can usually just repack the streams from one to the other.
mkvextract to pull them out, mp4box to pack them in.

It should however be noted that all codecs MKV and AVI can contain should not be repacked into an MP4.
Basically, you want to see what are in the files in the first place to see if you can just combine them without trans coding. If you are on Windows, get MediaInfo and post the information to pastebin.com or something for us to see.

you also can edit the mkv video if you use avisynth script with only directshowsource("video.mkv") inside and drag it into virtualdub.

Why would that be a bad idea?
I've seen various media players (not VLC, because they seem to accept every hackjob there is) freak out from an XviD video stream in an MP4 container for example, one of the media players was Media Player Classic (happened early last year). Might be patched up now though.

Famtasia, oh we all love this emulator.
Anyways, the issue that is occurring for me is that I am unable to dump "recording00.avi".
I have all the required things from the patcher but it won't dump.
Is there a program which is needed to aid the dumping process or something?
Or is there some more tweaking which is required to get this emulator dumping?
I know I've gotten famtasia to work before but I just don't remember how.

Try running the program in Administrator and/or Compatibility mode, and make sure it can write to the directory.
In the worst case simply run it in a previous OS via VirtualBox.

I still have the issue (balls).
I was able to do it with Windows 7 without backwards compatibility (last computer all formatted into an xp)
I am unable to make it work with Windows xp or my Windows 8 (that includes backwards compatibility)
Also Administrator mode does not help too.
It's an actual program that actually help dump it (Not Virtual Dub)

last = scriptclip(last.trim(4331,0), """audiodub(last,last.timestretch(100+current_frame).killvideo)""")
Edit: On second thought, it might be more due to the fact you keep changing the sample rate per frame which is not possible to put together. I'm now not sure if my solutions work.
I'm wondering, about when would H.265 (HEVC) be one of our official encoder. There have been HEVC decoders and encoders for a long time, but I haven't tried it because I don't know when it will be developed good enough. I think HEVC would become main codec for videos soon or later, so I'd like to hear what do you think of it.
