I'm sorry, but I don't do HD encoding (much). If I do HD encoding, it be an emulator that outputs resolutions that high, like N64. There is an example script in the HD encoding guide you can follow at: http://tasvideos.org/EncodingGuide/HighDefinition.html

I'm looking through the Avisynth language and it may be possible to have all the features in those videos with this program, and to have it all display automatically. All the user has to do is enter the frame values. There's two questions I have for things I wasn't able to find. - Is there a way to have the individual videos pause rather than inserting a black frame? - I need a way to slide or translate an image (like a number).
The example I posted has the video pausing. I'm not sure on what you mean by translate. Do you mean you want to move a small image from left to right of a screen, for example?

You can't get off topic in the off topic forum! Everything is off topic! *note the sarcasm

FFFFFFFFFFFF- Even after updating my codecs and downloading the files you linked to, I still get those strange pauses. (Curiously enough, the pauses are much less noticable when using Windows Media Player. I don't even know anymore.) Thanks again for the encode, Aktan!
Curious, does VLC work fine for you then? I would like to find the cause of this problem. I'm wondering if something else is demuxing the MP4 in place of Haali's Media Splitter. You should see an icon for Haali's Media Splitter when you play the file as well as the ffdshow icon. While playing the file, if you right click the video and goto filters, could you list what you see there?

I appreciate the HQ encode, Aktan. However, I noticed that the movie throws in a pause (one frame?) everytime a screen transition occurs (whether horizontal or vertical). ie 14:13-14:15 in Crashman's stage, or 19:03-19:05 in Wily Castle 2 I noticed this in the Rockman 2 (non-hacked) TAS mp4 encode as well, which I noted in that thread. I'm using Media Player Classic HC v1.4.2689.0 to watch these videos, if that makes any difference.
You need to update your codec and/or demuxer and/or settings in MPC-HC. Haali Media Splitter: http://haali.su/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe ffdshow: http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=5554&s=50 MPC-HC setting:

Tomorrow, a single-part zoomed encode will be online. EDIT: It will probably be online tonight, since I'll start the Dailymushroom upload at the moment I've edited this.
You are making an encode with both screens for publication, right? Also, it doesn't "matter" if you claim for SD, really. Other people are freely to still encode it IMO. =p

I like to see a complete .AVS using pointsize plugin.
Since the plugin is already in the Avisynth's plugin directory, this would work:
AVISource("C:\ssf2t.avi")
ConvertToRGB32()
hq4x()

Hello everybody, I tried using the plugin pointsize but I can not work. Could someone post an AVS settings completing the following example:
AVISource ("C: \ ssf2t.avi", audio = true) ConvertToRGB32 () loadplugin ("C: \ Program Files (x86) \ AviSynth 2.5 \ plugins \ pointsize.dll)
Tks for all
I'm not sure of what you are asking. Could you rephrase the question?

If you want to convert flashing 60 fps to flashing 30 fps, you'd have to drop frames like this:
60 fps:     10101010          // 1 = visible, 0 = invisible
            12345678          // frame index

30 fps:     1010
            1256              // dropped every 3rd and 4th frame
With AviSynth that can be done with SelectEvery(4, 0, 1). The disadvantage is that it looks choppy, and doesn't simulate transparencies.
Or, you could use ChangeFPS() and let it auto do that =p Edit: On second red, I now get what you mean. Oops! Yea, it's a viable solution, I guess.

I mean the energy hook. I see later you can only hook to those spheres, which is why you didn't use it all the time.

I must say, while high resolution make it look nice, the low FPS on that mode just makes it easier to get motion sickness for me.

Here is an HQ Encode (640x480 MP4) as requested by nfq (split into 3 parts due to file size limits on mediafire): http://www.mediafire.com/?rulqzdj877jtj7w http://www.mediafire.com/?f8v2e6db2zdxpkf http://www.mediafire.com/?bgsdb3xzrucr174 Note: It has been anti-aliased and the sound is in sync.

Finally saw this. Just curious, wouldn't it be faster to use the grappling hook all the time? Edit: Now watching it in normal speed, I think I can see why you can't do that...

Upon looking carefully, it was more a desynched than loss. I don't know how easy or hard it is to fix this.

I have the same feeling as you do Warp, but this is supposedly only for YouTube. The point re sized encodes are now simple enough at that huge resolution that now the quality on YouTube is actually decent. On Flygon's note that nnedi is very slow, I should mention that there are faster settings, with minimal color loss that I have not tried yet. Might still be feasible.

I will have to say no to HQx also as I don't like how it can mess things up. I will shamelessly mention I do like some other type of scaling.

Do you want Flygon's point-resized encode? It looks like these screenshots : 1 2 Or, do you want my HQx filtered encode? It looks like these screenshots : 1 2
I'll just add nnedi resize to the mix: 1 2
