Genisto Nitsuja Sleepz Zoizite Since publishing movies that will be obsoleted lowers the signal/noise ratio, there are many players I won't nominate, including Arc, Bisqwit and Walker Boh or even Morimoto.

my movie wasn't bad. But not many people watched it and voted. It didn't qualify to get published even though it wasn't bad or broke any rules. It just didn't get the attention needed to get published.

I think this award is more intended for those that submitted a movie but the movie was rejected. Not because the movie was bad quality, but because it broke a rule.
Generally speaking, such movies aren't candidates for awards.
An example perhaps could be where someone did the run on a translated game.
This is a case that could be considered. But I don't think such movies are candidates for awards on this site... especially since there haven't quite been any of movies of that kind (except ToP).

I object this award category. Assuming "unpublished" means "submitted but not published", it can only mean one of these: - Never submitted - Submitted but not judged yet - Submitted but cancelled or rejected In the first case, it should perhaps be submitted, or then it shouldn't be discussed here at all. In the third case, it is not worthy of being awarded. In the second case, it's not eligible for awarding until it's actually judged. Even if it means that it goes to the next year's set.

NesVideoAgent! hurumph. I agree somewhat about blip, but I recognize Truncated better as an overall helpful person. I have trouble naming a single person though.

I would have said [323]Jecy's Batman, but it was already foreshadowed by Foda which decreased the surprise. I also want to say that the dramatically shortened [83]Goonies movie was quite a surprise, too. There have been a couple of [278][237][125][18]Metroid movies that have grand surprised me - mostly because of the improvement that was thought impossible. Something similar could be said of [317][312][201][196]Rygar, [309][10][234][99]Super Mario Bros 2 and [263][243][242]Super Mario Bros, too. I have trouble choosing a single one.

Considering the amount of storybook runs Walker Boh has done, I'd think of him. But Josh might be better choice.

My first thought for this category is obviously Walker Boh, but I have to check better.

It was removed when the "movies" page was deleted and combined to the front page. That was done because people linked to the Movies page, and I wanted them to link to the front page (and I didn't want those two pages have overlapping purposes). The plan is to reintroduce the category lists in a search form, but it's yet to be done.

Not only is this one a definite yes, I'll honestly be shocked if this isn't published the second Bisqwit gets his hands on this movie. It's that good.
I think it's not a good idea to publish two Sonic movies at the same day :)

As a webmaster, I'm not yet sure which I like better: Regular users visiting often, or lots of tourists who are never seen again. I guess, on this site the regularity is better.

A, thanks. :) At one time, Phil was catching, but apparently he hasn't posted so much lately...

Your IP address seems to vary a lot. The statistics are grouped by IP address, and none of your individual IP addresses reaches a notable number alone. Actually, in the top 100 list of IPs I only see only "aliant.net" line, and it has 170 hits. Ps: THAN. More THAN. "Then" is different.

Perhaps, though I like to vary the post.

Previous versions of Gens had a bug where all the buttons were held down upon movie completion. You're not running an old version, are you Bisqwit?
I'm using a loose kludge that has quickly hacked together by Jyzero. It doesn't even read the movie file header. It's the only source patch I have ever acquired for Gens.

Okay, another attempt at encoding this movie (fourth attempt so far) went wrong. When the movie ended, it ended up with this screen and didn't progress at all. I guess it entered pause mode or something. My hypothesis was that the movie previously ended without releasing all buttons, and thus I added three zerobytes to the end of the file. Well, didn't help. This movie is cursed. Spending >hour waiting to see that it again didn't work = frustrating. It's someone else's turn now.

In April 2005 - The pages of the Nesvideos site were loaded about 650000 times, creating about 6.2 GB of traffic. (I need a better way to calculate these numbers. It's difficult to sum up those numbers from the logs...) - Globally on my webserver, there were 1870800 hits, 13.9 GB of traffic, with average of 2598 hits per hour. 1068k hits in the name of MSIE 6, 603k in the name of Mozilla, and the most common version of Opera had 35k. Domain statistics: 1 .net 29% 2 .jp 27% 3 .com 14% 4 (unresolved) 6% 5 .edu 4% 6 .fi 3% 7 .se 3% 8 .ca 2% 9 .nl 1% 10 .de 1% For the first 20 days, .jp was the #1, but near the end of the month it dropped to the 2nd place. Again, we can thank http://super-play.net/ (formerly douga.tk) for this publicity. The most active user was zq213081.ppp.dion.ne.jp with 10435 hits (276 MB), followed by ryanferneau.student.iastate.edu (again) with 9087 hits (225 MB), and followed by 68-118-218-30.wa.charter.com with 8541 hits (43 MB). Because the leading user appears to have been a robot, BagOfMagicFood wins again.

Apparently, MPlayer 1.0pre6 crashes trying to play this AVI. With message: mplayer: h264.c:2074: hl_motion: Assertion `((sub_mb_type)&0x0040)' failed. Edit: It apparently works in MPlayer 1.0pre7 (which is difficult to install in Gentoo because it's "masked"). I see the video quality in this AVI is rather high. Much better than in sneszelda-timeattack-short-omnipotententity.avi. However, many people seem to have problems with this codec. Phil, is there any good reason to use it to justify those problems? Or in other words, should everyone start using it? Assume a couple of "why"s in this message.

Before trying to guess what is the problem... I want to ask... have you tried reading the FAQ to see if it answers your question?

Huh! No, it's not upsidedown here, but incidentally, the 60 frames of the logo files were upside down (to compensate for a bug in the logo reader of my fceu patch). There should be nothing upside down in the AVI.
