I will never understand why people regard "making cash off TASing" as an almost insane and totally absurd idea.

No, I have no problem of the authors of the run making money off TASing. I do have a problem on why noone else can except sonicpacker. What did he do that made him be allowed to have TASVideos link to his channel instead of the official one?

Everytime I see this game and hear it’s sounds, I wonder why it’s called „Super Mario” and not „Escape from nuthouse”. But I vote „yes”, since the number of rerecords is even crazier than those sounds.

I will never understand why so many people don't have any concern about attracting the attention of the copyright holders of the games. The copyright holders might, might, let the copyright infringement pass if you don't make money out of it. They may change their minds if you start earning with their property. (And yes, it is copyright infringement. The video game music has copyright protection, and most probably the graphics too. Just because the owners don't do anything about it doesn't mean it's not infringement. And "fair use" does not cover putting entire songs and large amounts of graphics on youtube.)

A bit off topic, but is one actually taking money away from the video game companies that produced the games? If anything, I would call it promotion and possible advertisement for the company.

Emulation has more copyright violation than the videos themselves though.

There are many gaming channels like Machinima, which have billions of views and thus gather thousands if not millions of dollars (yes, all those big gaming channels are partners), so I can't see how any TAS uploaded to youtube could make the gaming industry suddenly change their whole attitude towards youtube. Especially considering that even the most famous TASes usually don't even get close to reaching one million views (of course we've seen a few exceptions).

When one buys a video game, do they not purchase the images played for their own use?

Not really. Pretty much nobody knows this, as nobody actually reads EULAs, but rarely do you ever actually "buy" a game. Usually, the EULA specifies that any and all content remains property of whoever made it and you have merely bought the right to actually access said content.

To whoever keeps changing the YouTube link on the movie page, leave it alone for now. I had a conversation with staff last night and we agreed that the author encode will be the only YouTube one. Thanks.

Honestly, the clouds look terrible with the texture filter you used in your encode. Aktan didn't make that mistake. So it's a bit of a shame if other uploads won't be allowed on YouTube, for no good reason (?)

It's not a mistake. In fact, it's entirely intentional and that's only your opinion. Well over 50% of people like the way the filters look and I get far more positive comments than negative ones regarding quality. Edit: I mean, look at the first 2 comments of the TVC one. Speaks for itself.

Is there a 60fps 640x480 encode somewhere?

Question: Does the 640x480 encode available here http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=335125#335125 have the filter applied?

Why is "100% completion" listed as one of the tags? I mean, wouldn't 100% TECHNICALLY be unlocking all the cannons as well, since they are also something you'd unlock in the game? Also, I voted yes, obviously. - User 2

The TASVideosChannel upload’s description links to the obsolete SM64DS TAS. Should it be updated?
