At the risk of offering a 'too simplistic' suggestion:
Would it be possible/acceptable to simply add a page to the wiki (or a new tab on the
Movie Page) that houses/publishes high quality videos of event content; even if that content doesn't go through the normal submission/judging/publication process?
This content could be kept separate from the standard obsoletion chains, while still having a presence on the site as 'official' TASvideos content. The necessary input files could still be hosted/linked for future reference, and the videos could be sorted by year/event instead of by system/tier/title.
As with our current publications, the videos could showcase just the TAS content, not a replay of the event VODs. Essentially making it a page for
here's what we presented at X event in it's raw form.
This would satisfy the desire of the content creators to have their work published as part of our site instead of somewhere completely separate.
If this page was
strictly limited to content actually shown at an event, we wouldn't have to worry about arbitrary stuff being submitted for that page.
Having this page would also do nothing to damage the current position of the site in regards to standard submissions/publications. Everything else could function as it currently is. If we wanted, we could even put notes with the videos on this page linking to any site content of the same games that have gone through the standard process.
The three biggest challenges I see with this suggestion are:
1) Having to describe the playback method/emulator/tools used, if not already standard on the site.
2) Actually creating the high quality videos (I'm assuming some of the input playback methods may not have video dumping capability)
3) It would likely require completely manual curation and not have anything automated.
