I am having some resolution issues when trying to encode Otoshock's PSX BIOS screen. When I try to append a segment it says that the resolution is different. What is the best settings to encode a PSX bios screen and the movie together?

'Cause, I asked a similar question to what you are doing now, the answer is in there.
Sam"tastic" we (Publishers) aren't going to assist you anymore.
You had us (fsvgm777, feos, Anty-Lemon, Guga, Sheela901 and Myself) do backflips for you, trying to figure out what you want to do.
You ended up failing on us, wasting our (specifically fsvgm777) time, we're done.

I try using the resize methods, but then I get this annoying error when opening up this script in virtualdub.

It would be good to know how to fix this error so I won't need to ask again in the future.

I have several video files at different resolutions. Then, the game which is movie_5 runs at 378:240.
The BIOS screen is video_3 and that's at 660:480.
Here's my script: http://pastebin.com/Me9eng4A

While this line (Line 5) should work in theory, it actually doesn't. You have to individually source and resize each AVI before splicing them together.

That's a lie, it actually works.
How many video files do you have?
What are the name of the avi files?
Did you make sure to remove that original line that you had?
Or are you just wasting our time again?

I really don't want to be "that guy", but could you go to a DOS prompt, Sam, go to the directory where your files are stored, type "dir /p *.avi" and screen-cap the result?
I am still the wizard that did it.

1) That image is huge.
2) That image includes a "movie_1.avi" that is not in your list of files to encode.
3) Spikestuff really wants you to answer his questions.

At school of course. I just need to know how to fix this error then I won't need to ask again. There should be a guide on the TASVideos Publication Manual on how to encode Bizhawk PSX for newcomers.

1) That's 10 files, not 9.
2) "movie_2.avi" is listed twice.
3) What is the exact error message you are now getting? "It doesn't like line xxx" tells us absolutely nothing.

This is probably going to eat up some time, but bear with me.
According to your directory listing, movie_4.avi is the shortest video file you have there. I want you to try, in order, running the script with /ONLY/ movie_4 and each of the other eight files, one at a time, to see if they run.
That is, I want you to do:
movie.avi and movie_4.avi
movie_1.avi and movie_4.avi
movie_2.avi and movie_4.avi
movie_3.avi and movie_4.avi
movie_4.avi and movie_5.avi
movie_4.avi and movie_6.avi
movie_4.avi and movie_7.avi
movie_4.avi and movie_8.avi
At least one of those should fail with "splice: video formats do not match", and you will know at least one of the files that is not working in your script.
This might mean you have to start the entire process over, if something is wrong with one of the files and you can't fix it, but you will know which part is wrong. (And if it turns out to be movie_4 that's causing the problem, well, that's just funny.)
