Good thing the Playstation 3 in the loungeroom acts purely as a TV tuner and a Blu-ray player. Mundane purposes to the rescue!

I'm already processing the playlist Virtual Boy encodes as of tomorrow.

Whelp, time to enjoy having four videos automatically shoved onto my YouTube account!

For the curious, there's been a followup.
Dear Google Video User, Last week we sent an email letting you know we would be ending playbacks of Google Videos on April 29 and providing instructions on how to download videos currently hosted on the platform. Since then we’ve received feedback from you about making the migration off of Google Video easier. We work every day to make sure you have a great user experience and should have done better. Based on your feedback, here’s what we’re doing to fix things. Google Video users can rest assured that they won't be losing any of their content and we are eliminating the April 29 deadline. We will be working to automatically migrate your Google Videos to YouTube. In the meantime, your videos hosted on Google Video will remain accessible on the web and existing links to Google Videos will remain accessible. If you want to migrate to YouTube now, here’s how you do it: We’ve created an “Upload Videos to YouTube” option on the Google Video status page. To do this, you’ll need to have a YouTube account associated with your Google Video account (you can create one here). Before doing this you should read YouTube’s Terms of Use and Copyright Policies. If you choose this option, we’ll do our best to ensure your existing Google Video links continue to function. If you’d prefer to download your videos from Google Video, that option is still available. As we said nearly two years ago, the team is now focused on tackling the tough challenge of video search. We want to thank the millions of people around the world who have taken the time to create and share videos on Google Video. We hope today's improvements will help ease your transition to another video hosting service. Thank you for being a Google Video user.

Not really useful, since we're all going HD anyway. :D

Flygon, Google's probably been tracking your computer accessing lesbian porn. I agree about the ABP thing, though. Just use that and you'll see the internet as it was meant to be seen. At least that's how I choose to think about it.
As true as that could be, I'm still amused by the end result. I do actually have AdBlock installed, but I put TASVideos on the whitelist because I click the ads. I reckon everyone else should, too.

Now, let's post screencaps of amusing advertisements from TASVideos! I mean, granted, if I was a girl, I wouldn't mind a bit of girl-on-girl action, but unfortunately, I'm a male.

Anyone ever notice how that if you remove something or otherwise censor it, a lot more people notice than if you hadn't?

Stalkers. I'd get the exact quote from my #tasvideos log, but it turns out logging everything for almost 2 years makes it impossible to open without crashing every app I've tried.

I would very much like to see Stella be modified for rerecording support, incidentally. It basically has every other feature required, and is incredibly encoding friendly (I've already encoded quite a few demos from it with great success!).

This is what I look like when I'm depressed in #tasvideos. This is what I look like then I'm talking to Canadians.

I'm flabbergasted that countries have political parties that base and pride themselves centrally on religion. It's really kind of nonsensical from my point of view. I mean, sure, Kevin Rudd was a Christian, but no one gave a damn, it probably helped that he never mentioned it. I mean, hell, the current Australian PM isn't aligned with any religions (Amusingly, she's less popular than Rudd for completely unrelated reasons). Then again, bringing up religion here in politics is basically a death sentence in the polls... people automatically assume that you're a nutcase of some sorts (This probably has to do with the fact that the any religious parties here are seen as extremely conservative to the point of destruction). Values dissonance at its finest, peoples. I won't drag on any longer, I just felt that I should express my absolute surprise that non-American parties would base themselves so centrally on religion. I am aware that this reply will most likely result in me being shot in the face akin to a shotgun, but I wish to state that I am in no way against religion and have made this reply to simply state that the differences between the worlds of politics are quite incredible, at least, from my perspective. It's probably worth noting that most Australians don't even really care too much about religion anyway, so what, you worship a god/s, when's the next barbicue?!

Long story short, email below:
Subject: Google Video Hosted Content To Be Removed After May 13 Type: Embeded HTML/Text Dear Google Video User, Later this month, hosted video content on Google Video will no longer be available for playback. Google Video stopped taking uploads in May 2009 and now we’re removing the remaining hosted content. We've always maintained that the strength of Google Video is its ability to let people search videos from across the web, regardless of where those videos are hosted. And this move will enable us to focus on developing these technologies further to the benefit of searchers worldwide. On April 29, 2011, videos that have been uploaded to Google Video will no longer be available for playback. We’ve added a Download button to the video status page, so you can download any video content you want to save. If you don’t want to download your content, you don’t need to do anything. (The Download feature will be disabled after May 13, 2011.) We encourage you to move to your content to YouTube if you haven’t done so already. YouTube offers many video hosting options including the ability to share your videos privately or in an unlisted manner. To learn more go here. Here’s how to download your videos: Go to the Video Status page. To download a video to your computer, click the Download Video link located on the right side of each of your videos in the Actions column. Once a video has been downloaded, “Already Downloaded” will appear next to the Download Video link. If you have many videos on Google Video, you may need to use the paging controls located on the bottom right of the page to access them all. Please note: This download option will be available through May 13, 2011. Thank you for being a Google Video user.

Recommended course of action: Shove everything onto YouTube.

I send greets to Grunt for putting up with all of my bullshit, Raiscan for putting up with all my bullshit, Aktan for putting up with all my bullshit, Ilari for putting up with all my bullshit... you an see where this is going. Greets to the TASers for giving encoding fodder to all! I send my honour to adelikat, being the person that has had to put up with the absolute goddamn worst of me.

Ah, I see what you mean now. Either way, I wouldn't be too worried about having staggered framerates. I've seen no users complain, and I've spoken with the publication team about it over time, and indeed, none of them have noticed either.

All frames get dropped to one frame in the end anyway, creating a variable framerate output. :p

Bisqwit: This is why we dump Nintendo 64 games at 120fps and DeDup them in AviSynth, to drop frames that are duplicated. And there has been absolutely no twitch whatsoever with the varying FPS material that I have processed, that I have noticed, anyway. Similary, if it was up to me, I'd dump DOS games at frame rates of up to 200fps (Note, I haven't actually encoded a DOS game myself so I don't claim to be an expert on the subject regarding DOS) and operate under the same philosophy. Warp: The MP4 and MKV formats support variable frame rates.

If it was up to me, I'd try a point resize, correct with point resize, and point resize 2x more... basically... the same thing as a HD encode. But that's just me. Otherwise, Lanczos4Resize.

I get to the "If I saw a man on the street that I thought was really a woman I would ask him if he was a man or a woman" page and it fails to send the data after that. Damn. =\ Got it working.

I guess this is what happens when you don't put a huge "THIS IS A TOOL-ASSISTED MOVIE" warning at the front of the video. Nobody reads the video descriptions any more.
It's a good thing the subtitles will be good at burning the point in, then.
