Thanks AdmiralJonB. Here are the six movies of each Rockman boss without the pause trick and without special weapons: https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rm-b.fmv (Bomb Man) https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rm-c.fmv (Cut Man) https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rm-e.fmv (Elec Man) https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rm-f.fmv (Fire Man) https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rm-g.fmv (Guts Man) https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rm-i.fmv (Ice Man) All bosses except Fire Man are lossless battles. I didn't play the main levels very carefully (though I did do some impressive ladder tricks in Elec Man level), but I tried to handle the bosses as fast as possible.

No it's not :-) Before the 60fps hack you could easily tell when auto-fire wasn't being used.
Indeed. At 60 fps, things are different: I didn't use autofire in my Rockman movie, but nobody can tell.

Btw, I already asked this but no one seems to have answered me yet. Does anyone know why I'm not able to login at the nesvideos site? When I type in my username and password and click login, it just loads the login page again, but I'm not logged in.
I don't know why it happens. I created your username in the system before you attempted to log in the first time, but I wrote it exactly as it's here in the forum. Have you tried a different browser? Maybe it's in your cookie settings or something. I will have a look at this problem when I'm having a SSH client access next time.

From the middle of my rainy holiday days, has a new Rockman movie sprouted up. The movie length is 18:21 and rerecord count close to 45000. I'm submitting it in a few days. I'm currently writing this post in a library and I don't have the movie on diskette :) I also created six other Rockman movies - one for each robot master. People have been complaining of the pause trick, so I decided to beat each of the robot masters with the regular weapon only without the use of the pause trick. As fast as possible of course. I'd visit IRC now, but libraries don't unfortunately have SSH clients... EDIT: I have a good connection now so the movie is now queued in the submission manager.

I was just wondering if it is possible to add so you can list all the movies from date, author, system and so on?..
http://tasvideos.org/Movies.html Already has "list by system". http://tasvideos.org/players.cgi?mode=list Already has link to "list movies of this author". Front page already has a link for "last 14 days".

Anyway, pretty nice. You should update the main index page though Shouldn't it redirect to the front page?
what do you mean?
Bob Whoops wrote:
And we don't need to know what page it was refrenced from.
Yes we do - at least the editors do.
Bob Whoops wrote:
The personal page is cool, but I would like to click on something other than the question mark to get there :p
Then edit the page so that the link isn't broken. Names having spaces in them... hmm. I smell problems...
Bob Whoops wrote:
And you should specify what a trusted user is.
The text "trusted user" links to the "Wiki Policy" page which explains things a bit better than these two words.

A cookie so that you always are logged in would be nice. It's kinda annoying having to log in everytime you open up the site again.
It does use a cookie for exactly that purpose. I'm not expert on cookies though. I use the these settings on PHP session management. 
php_value session.cache_expire 200000
php_value session.cookie_lifetime 2000000
php_value session.auto_start 0
php_value session.save_handler files
php_value session.cache_limiter nocache
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 7776000
My guess is that there's something wrong with your browser ;) If someone can tell better, it'd be nice.

Introduce genre categories! Platformer, RPG, Brawler, etc.
Good idea. Yes, I agree some of the categories are too specific. I tried to avoid specifiness but I also tried to add everything that could make a new movie fall into a different class. I'll see what I can do, some other time. EDIT: Solved this problem by adding a "specific to a certain game" flag to the categories. Sorting / grouping by game versions is a good idea, but it would require established versions. Currently the versions are just free form text fields - they vary somewhat. One thing I want to do is to add a "most recent movies" option.

All the hard work of last few weeks has been completed. The new site has been published. I'm quite short of time (I'm leaving tomorrow and I haven't even packed yet) so I'll not write more now. EDIT: this topic needs no longer be sticky

The point is, not using the pause glitch will not make the movie any more exciting.
True. But it does save time, and it is challenging to do perfectly.

I suggest you create a proof-of-concept movie to demonstrate the difference you are claiming to exist. Sorry about being sceptical.

Most monitors allow you to alter the viewing space of the display area. Just stretch it to occupy the entire screen. >_>
TFT displays are quite different in this aspect.

No, I'm not Genisto. Also, "just fixing a few boards" isn't as easy as you think. Changing something in the movie requires replaying everything that comes after that, because the game will react differently starting from the change. Ps: Paragraph breaks would have made your message a lot more comprehensible. Now I just read a sentence here and there because I didn't want to dive into that big lump of text. And no, jumping full speed is not horizontally any faster than running full speed. The vector speed (sqrt(dx² + dy²)) is greater indeed when you add vertical movement, but you're not going to complete the level any faster whether you jump or not.

One who seeks famousness and name. On this board we usually publish ideas for common knowledge. Anyone is also free to create new videos.

I'm having a question about if a movie is not accepted for publication. How will we know if it is not accepted, exactly?
So far I've always responded the email and notified the author of this. Currently I have lots of movies in the queue on hold because I want to get the new nesvideos site running before I go having holiday in a different town. Processing those movies would slow down my development work. Also, lots of the queued movies are Genesis movies currently. Adding those movies to the old site would make it too difficult to maintain. Don't worry, your Super C movie hasn't been rejected. But it hasn't been reviewed yet either.

You mean this? https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rockmantest3.mpg Well I'm not using it, because it's too slow. :)

Personally, I'd rather see one without the pause trick.
I understand, but I intend to make a as-fast-as-possible movie with all possible tricks, so I'm going to use that trick as well. Ps: Do you think the pause trick makes the game too easy? Have a look at this video clip (1 MB): https://files.tasvideos.org/bisqwit/rockman-guts.avi It's the Gutsman fight from my movie. Watch it and try doing the same. You may use an emulator and quicksaves and as slow speed as you want.

That's how the tv signal goes. Ask someone who has studied it more than I. :)

Isn't a non-scaled windowed game a little hard to see?
Not if you use a lower resolution.

- bad emulator - bad settings - bad moon In my experience, these things tend to cause desyncs: - heavy load - "occupation" other than 1 - changing the speed while playback Thus, these things tend to help (I don't suffer from desyncs anymore): - use 1x1 (no scaled windows - scaling is HEAVY) - always use occupation=1 (requires the 60 fps version) - don't change speed while playing back movies - use a computer that is fast enough (200 MHz is not, 1600 MHz is) - don't use "auto frame skip"

256x240 resolution should make TINY movies
It does make tiny movies. For TV captures I need twice as high bitrates to look even tolerable. I welcome you to try encoding some movies yourself, but before you do, don't come claiming that we haven't tried. Phil uses XVid and I use libavcodec.
