I think natt figured out a solution.
I used to do it with DirectShowSource with a graph that loaded LAV Filters, but now the most recent release of FFMS2 does it perfectly with FFVideoSource. It's no longer "a pain".

What console is the TAS on?
So I finished my TAS of a game known as Yume Nikki but when I try to play back the TAS the sounds don't work and it glitches up. I cannot post the video to TAS videos anyway because it is an English translation so is there anything I can do to the game files to fix this?

Interestingly, mvtools 2.5.11.3 crashes for me with Osman HD encode, when I use original aspect ratio. It doesn't when I pick 4:3, even though the source is 4:3 already, and sar options aren't used in HD command line! 2.5.11.20 doesn't crash. I was just about to debug, but since I worked around it, nah.
So I recently made my first TAS ever, of the game Contra III: The Alien Wars. It is a pacifist TAS, the same as McBobX's is. Mine is slower than his but I wasn't optimizing it a lot since it was my first one. However, I want to encode it so I can upload it to Youtube myself but every time I try to encode it using the package given at the publication manual, the output is much lower quality than the .avi that I put in. Additionally, when I upload it to Youtube the quality drops even more. Can anyone help me out? I'm willing to share more information if it is needed.
What exactly are you doing with the encoding package? If you dumped the avi with a lossless codec and chose HD stream upon encoding, the quality should be nearly indiscernible from lossless More to the point though, why do you need to use the encoding package? It's intended to be used for publication-quality encodes, not custom encodes.
I guess I might not even need to be using the encoding package in the first place though, I think I'm looking too deep into this.
