I guess I'll post mine too. My encodes are not publication quality as they don't include any subtitles or intro etc., but they are quite high on the automation scale. It only works on smv and fm2 for now, though.
After I've downloaded an .smv file, the encoding process looks like this:
Language: bash
$ smvenc2 foo.smv foo.mkv
That produces a lossless yuv444 encode at normal resolution. If I want to use a lua script with that, and perhaps have a double-sized yuv420 encode, I would do
Language: bash
$ smvenc2 -lua script.lua -fmt yuv420 foo.smv foo.mkv
The encode is totally headless. That is, no snes9x window pops up during encoding, and no sound is played (but of course, the output video contains sound and image), so this can be run on a system with no running X server, which is nice for making an automated encoding service as I did before at one time.
The script itself looks like this (
link):
Language: bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Automatic smv encode. Given an smv file and and output filename,
# produces a lossless encode in one pass
player="smv"
popts="-r 5 -mute -dumpstreams"

afifo="audiostream0.dat"
vfifo="videostream0.dat"
afile="$prefix.audio.mp3"

double="auto"
proginterval=0.5

This depends on a couple of other utilities. The "smv" is a script I use for watching smv files. It handles the automatic lookup of the rom and then runs snes9x (
link):
Language: bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
index="$HOME/tas/snes/index"
snes=snes9x-1.43
smvfile="$1"
shift
echo n | "$snes" "$index/$(smvcrc "$smvfile")" -autodemo "$smvfile" "$@"
There are some other short utilities that are needed, but the forum mangles them, so I'll just link to them instead:
smvcrc is used to extract a crc from an smv file, for the purpose of looking up the correct rom.
romcrc is used to compute the crc of a snes rom, wihch is used to poulate a directory of crc -> rom symlinks.
bread is used to read the frame count from the smv file.
For fm2 files I use a similar setup
fm2enc,
fm2,
fm2md5,
nesmd5
The md5 stuff is mostly extracted from fceux.
