Literally speaking, true. But everything in your posts indicated you were specifically blaming Luke's FCEU, even if you didn't say that explicitly... You should be more careful in thinking what kind of impressions people get when they read your posts. Try to eliminate the wrong impressions and strengthen the right impressions. As you may have realized, there's a very high chance that people get the wrong impressions, understand wrong meaning. You can affect that if you concentrate on it. Word differently, explain more. In this case, using an extra sentence like "I did not test whether this occurs with the standard FCEU as well" would have avoided the misinterpretation.

The file name for the star is toppub.png, does this mean it's the top publication? Best movie? What?
As opposed to the all-time recommended movies' star, , is a star given to publications that stand out from the list of other movies recently published. It is only used by the MovieChangelog module, not the movie pages.

What if there is no direct link to the file? For example, it is accessed through a script like stream.scr?StreamID=12345.
Then you need to hack it to find where it loads the script from. Perhaps with a traffic snooper. Or perhaps the .scr file is a serverside script that returns the ASX file? In that case, you could download it with wget.

What is the best way to capture streaming media from a website that plays in an embedded instance of Windows Media Player?
Capture the URL from the page source code (usually something like WMV or ASX), then use "mplayer -dump△○☆ <url>" to play it. Substitute the proper "dump"-option of choice by using the mplayer manual page.

Sorry for not being clear. My question is: There are several numbers on the row. Which of them are being picked? Base 10 144=Base 16 90. Is the average number on the row hexadecimal 90? Or what?
Huh? According to your quote, At address 0000 you have 90 At address 0001 you have 21 At address 0002 you have CE At address 0003 you have 9C At address 0004 you have 06 At address 0005 you have 00 At address 0006 you have D0 At address 0007 you have 00 At address 0008 you have 00 At address 0009 you have 00 At address 000A you have 00 At address 000B you have 00 At address 000C you have 90 At address 000D you have 1E At address 000E you have 00 At address 000F you have 00 You entered 000 in the memory watch, and you got 90 (144 in decimal). Which part you don't understand?

Different numeric bases. Decimal 144 is 90 in hexadecimal. The actual value is identical, just the way they're expressed (in a way, the language they're expressed) in is different. Click the links to study.

Oh man. That's getting unridiculous. I can't even think of those posts looking funny 1 month after the movie has been published.

Instructions to substitute a submitted file (only for minor changes in movies after the submission): Send me the following information: - The new movie file (pack it into a ZIP file, then send me an URL to it or the actual file) - Which submission is in question (the # number from the thread title is most useful, 915 in this case for example) - Why should I accept the request (how did the movie change from the submitted one) Do not omit any of the information. Contacting: IRC, PM or E-mail. (These instructions are now also found at http://tasvideos.org/SubmissionInstructions.html.)

So that means some member of Nesvideos can upload a movie at Youtube.com if he/she writes a proper description?
Yes and keeps the video content intact.

And Bisqwit, I'm not so sure if a "no videos for you" policy is appropriate here. You could always flag a video as being a violation, yes, but maybe if you upload videos officially there, with that user group or whatever, it'll discourage people from reposting the cut videos because the uncut videos will be there plain to see.
That's an exceptionally good argument coming from you, BagOfMagicFood. I allow the publishing as long as it's done by someone who is responsible enough to do it right. The message is there to disencourage those who don't care to do it right.

Many of the Nesvideos movies have been recently republished at Youtube.com. The problem is: the people who have published them there have stripped away the logo and the disclaimer that it is a tool-assisted movie. They are published there without any mention that they are tool-assisted movies. This kind of action contains a seed to raise up the "you fucking cheater" storms again. Especially this user: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=joemawlma Because of this, I am now forbidding the republication of our videos at YouTube.com. It doesn't help, but it is the least I can do.

It's not that FCEU movies are compressed anyway. They are event-driven. Each frame, besides joypad input events, any of other events may happen, such as a reset, poweron, a coin insert, a disk change, etc. Encoding all those possibilities without making the stream events variable-length is not quite feasible. Nintendulator, Famtasia and Snes9x don't support that kind of things, and thus, their streams are raw, seekable, indexable. But VirtuaNES does support events, and thus, therefore, VirtuaNES movies are not seekable either. Edit: No, FCM-embedded savestates are not gzipped, just as are not plain file savestates either. SMV -embedded savestates are gzipped, just as are plain file savestates too.

This kind of discussion does not lead into an apology from either side. I suggest you settle your differences privately. I'm locking this thread.

In April 2006 - Globally on my webserver, there were 2862776 hits, 52.5 GB of traffic, with average of 3976 hits per hour. 1.35M hits in the name of Mozilla, 1.17M in the name of MSIE. In this month, I had to accept that Google Adsense will ignore me and I had to ignore them. No revenue was received for the week I had AdSense on my site. They closed my contract completely one-sidedly. The four most active referrers for the Nesvideos site of this month were, in this order: - Google search - Google Videos - Google image search - http://kmkm.info/ Total unique sites: 108024 Besides the 52 GB of webserver traffic, there was about twice that amount of BitTorrent traffic (only partially because of Nesvideos though). (But, I am not paying for consumed traffic; the pay is about the available transfer speed, regardless of utilization.)

/me thinks of creating a POV-Ray animation that shows a machine that moves all those background stuff around and a marionetti Mario puppet operated by another machine. On the other hand, I never have excess free time :( (Not to mention that the idea is no longer novel.)

For the purpose of 4-player movie editing, I added 4-player FMV file support in Nesmock. Those files won't be played back properly by Famtasia, but they can be used for hex-editing. Movies with less than 3 players are not affected. New version 1.5.1 was released.

Request.Form("variablename")
To do the same in PHP, you use this: 
$_POST['variablename']
It's shorter, ergo it's better ;) You lose. Btw, your Perl example doesn't even work if the form sent using the multipart/form-data enctype.
