That movie doesn't enter the credits. Jee, what so hard about letting the viewers see them in full?

I'm not so sure about which should be preferred here since the game is unofficial by its nature, and its use of English seems to be as proficient as this:
#4506: Noxxa's GBA Digimon Sapphire in 31:59.40
So while it's "their own", it's still arbitrary. I personally like the current name, but I guess by our rules we need it to be Emo Dao instead.

I agree with Moth on the subject.
20:50 <Mothrayas> the file should be replaced with one that *only* enters the credit, without input afterwards
So please bear with us and post such file, if we have it as a submission and also as an encode, it'd be best.

You don't really have to repeat everything twice.

I think these dialogs are up to the author to include, just like the decision to either reach the ending asap or end the movie that still leads to the ending asap.
What I'm absolutely sure about is that skipping credits is bad.
Anyway, final time here doesn't mean too much anyway, once the viewers understand the way it's measured for a particular game. You don't have to go out of your way to serve of one's ignorance.

How is stopping at the save screen any worse than stopping at the next screen? Neither is part of the TAS, neither matters, neither needs to be in the encode. I don't see any meaning in getting to the screen where the character endlessly stands in one place, let alone skipping credits just to show that screen faster.
Is there any serious reasoning not to replace the movie with one that only gets to the credits asap, other than feelings?

There's at least 2runs published where since the credits cannot be skipped, and there's a very short dialogue at the end, they're forced to include it into the run.
Why do you say they are forced?

I'd prefer a system identical to IMDB's. You can put integers 1-10, and the result has the fractional part. People are used to that system, and to TAS movies having 10 integers, so it should be fine. Problems come from having 2 separate ratings for each movie and also manual fractional part, becoming 200 ways to vote instead of 10.

@Bobo the King
I have nothing to do with this being implemented, since I have no access to the site code. You can't know whether Nach and adelikat are barriers or not before you talk to them. I've been talking to them for years, which is how I got my habits when it comes to explaining stuff, in order to convince them to implement something.
For quite a few posts already, the only complain I still have is where you draw the line. And I already expressed it clearly. Moth resolved my other complaints, but the one about ambiguity he resolved with putting everything unvaultable under that potential tag. Several people disagree with this. You can not add a tag several parties disagree about. Do you not see this disagreement here? Or you think the only thing preventing the actual implementation is me mentioning this disagreement, and when I shut up it will automatically be resolved? I'll shut up now and see what happens.

Wow, you can't stop aiming at my personality instead of my arguments. Doesn't look like what a "halfway decent mathematician" would do given the potential policy issues. Moth resolved most of my complaints. You resolved none.
Did you know that forum discussions are for people who care and at the same time have something to say? I've probably been a part of all policy discussions during the last few years. Some people even liked that. Some of my policytweaksuggestions have been implemented as final decisions. Not because I'm powerful. But because I cared, had something to say, and what I said appeared to be practical. So I dunno why things I say are automatically discredited by the fact that I'm the only person in the thread saying them.
you are literally the only person who has stamped his foot to say, "This is a bad idea?"
I never said the idea is bad. It'd be nice to have a list providing movies not present in any other lists, and/or a list of non-vaultable runs. But it has issues to resolve. If your solution to them is "only feos complained about them so it's all fine", I pity you.

I PM'd Alyosha about the intended settings so hold on.

"Not vaultable" is a definition through negation. "Not [random pile of tags]" is not a sensible definition of a movie tag. If it was, you'd come up with it without having to pretend it makes me uncomfortable. I'm not aucomfortable about arbitrary borderlines, I'm just saying they are arbitrary.
By undefinable I mean than it can't be put in a way equally meaningful for the vast majority of our users. You've probably never seen users raising flamewars over a definition. Since this place is in a way geek-oriented, you have to have solid rules for things.

Any% - Completes the game as fast as possible.
100% - Obtains all collectibles (or similar) as fast as possible.
Low% - Obtains the fewest collectibles, second priority is beating the game as fast as possible.
Playaround - No specific goal. Glitch exhibition.
ACE - Injects arbitrary code as fast as possible. Movie is longer to showcase the code and that it is, in fact, arbitrary.
Special goals - Anything not falling into the above list. Usually game-specific goals that that are not associated with tracked collectibles and achievements.
Disagreement once again, how cute.
"Special goal" as a term means nothing other than not something. If you want it to include everything that wastes time compared to vaultable goal, it's at least definable. If you just want it to contain everything that's not yet present in the existing tags (or some other variant), it's undefinable, and arbitrary in where you draw the line.
The latter would be more useful if it could be defined, because it would contain stuff other tags miss, but I dunno how realistic it would be.

If the game has a percentage counter and the game's community defines their 100% as some alternative percentage (like 101% or so) then that is the 100% for that game - whatever the percentage is, you got everything that mattered. A "beyond 100%" completion could, in addition to getting things that matter, also do things that don't matter but are still tracked. In other words, it gets what would be 100% and goes beyond that. As a different example, you can get 100% in Prime 3, but you can also dupe pickups and go beyond 100%, to 255% assuming my memory serves me right. Does this mean that a "100%" TAS of Prime 3 would have to get 255%? No, because the rules of 100% require getting all individual pickups, not simply setting the value to 100%. So 255% would not be a 100% completion, not an Any% completion, certainly not All Levels, absolutely not Low%, but yet could be a Special Goal, fitting into that category by being a completion that goes beyond 100%.
Then again what you're describing here is what makes an otherwise full completion run unvaultable, since it adds more content than required for 100%, which would mean it needs to 1) be entertaining and unique enough for Moons and 2) have a goal that still feels solid and not too arbitrary. This is fine, such runs must exist. The problem is the actual borderline you draw. Why do you only include the tags you described in the "not special goal" definition?

You're automatically always recording a movie if you use tastudio. Which, judging by the topic title, you are expected to do :P

Why would it be helpful? When I did encodes, the piping was an advantage, not a disadvantage. You get some multiprocess speedup, and it's more stable because avisynth, a notorious memory stomper, is not in the same process as anything else important. You can also flexibly upgrade builds of x264 without needing anything special in them.
I dunno, I've read on doom9 that streaming from avisynth to an x64 x264 takes away some advantage the latter gives on x64. The current workflow is about 10% faster than x86, so I dunno how much better or worse it will get if we switch to x64 avisynth and drop (or keep) piping.

If it doesn't autosave until you save it, you can lose your work if you forget to save and then the world collapses all of a sudden.
