VirtualDub's filters (For certain HD encodes) and ability to give me a precise frame number as well as the ability to see the video frame by frame manually have really just been the pressing motivators for me. That, and I am kind of put off by AviDemux's... well... AviDemuxiness.

No. VirtualDub and AviSynth work in necessary collaborative conjunction with each other. Without VirtualDub, we wouldn't be able to preemptively tell how our AviSynth scripts will look.

I'm all for No with some exceptions. I'd prefer case-by-case basis decisions on this, personally.

Okay, it turns out I'm a moron and Aktan managed to make me remember the alternative solution that I have actually used when I've exported broken WAVs in the past (Usually due to VirtualDub hating my guts, I've never had the 2GB issue yet however). 1. Download and install Goldwave. 2. Open the AviSynth script with GoldWave. 3. Without making any modifications to the file, save it directly as a FLAC file, and probably a WAV if you want to make a good OGG out of it. I'd almost recommend buying Goldwave if you have the $50, this application has saved my ass so many times... but the trial version doesn't last forever.

I'd just mux in the WAV and hope YouTube can gobble it up. The easiest solution is often completely and utterly averting the problem in the first place, but given the fact that VirtualDub outputs a slightly broken WAV, it could still present some issues...

Yes, this is seriously my HD encoding script.

I need to get back into the groove, I'll chuck up some SD and HD encode. Edit: Due to heating issues, the encode is delayed 18 hours. I'll leave it up to others to pick it up, however annoyed I might be if they do. :p

You don't generally question people when you're about to ban them. Especially for serious offenses just as this. If I had the same positions as the staff here, I'd have reacted the same way.

MrTickles, the only similarities between the Game Boy and NES are the sound system... and even then, there is substantial differences. They don't even share the same CPU architecture, if anything, the Game Boy has much more to do with the Game Gear, Master System, or Mega Drive!

Just for the record, I suggest encoders test their videos using point scaling, it makes it easier to spot out compression issues that may be missed out on otherwise, particularly when dealing with crf values budging over 21.

Frame speeds mean nothing. The input would be the same for each sequential frame, regardless of the actual frame rate, all this means is that the encode would either have the button inputs gradually desync or one of the games has the frame rate and audio sample rate adjusted.

Well, there you go, times have changed since I last checked. :p

Considering that Wii and Gamecube games have to be dumped via Wii's and/or Gamecubes currently due to incompatibilities with the DVD drives on the PC, it might be fair to say that... well, you have to 'dump' your own games for use on PC.

You do realize that the completely standard encoding methods are compatible with the CamHack, right? I speak from experience. Oh, this is for fixing audio. You do realize it's basically faster to extract the audio from the non-CamHacked encode using VirtualDub, right?

Upload the MKV. The BoFII MP4 also has the exact same problem uploading to Dailymotion.

Apparently the cap is around 2-3 hours. Various Mother 3 TAS authors have hit it and the Google Help Forum peeps have also hit it. FODA, if you do make a test, be sure to use frame dropping... seriously.

Archive collection SD encode The encode was sorta too large to stuff onto Mediafire, so, yeah. Kinda got permission from the author.

Short and sweet, SD and HD encode coming up. Yes voted... a bit cautiously, due to the unoptimizism of the TAS admitted by the author.
