That rerecord count is unbelievable. 538,970,035? I'll consider HD encoding this after I wake up in the morning... admittedly, this movie has me skeptical. Also, Ilari, I already have the dump. I am an idiot and somehow don't have the dump.

I vote No for the encoder. If I wanted to watch 20 minutes of ads for a 30 minute video, I'd just watch regular TV.
Well, there is a reason we don't condone the use of Dailymotion directly anymore... Blame YouTube's 15 minute limit.

What encoding script did you use? I was planning on encoding this with one of my SD encoding scripts when I am back at my fathers. That usually chops the filesize down to SD encode levels (If not up to 3-5x larger sometimes).

I guess that since Mister Epic cannot handle the HD encode... I... will do the HD encode? This is so confusing, but either way, it should be encoded by tomorrow or the day after.

Why does everyone want me to encode a video when I am at Mums house? It's... really not a good place. I should be able to encode it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when I get access to a computer that, well... can actually encode complex Mega Drive games.

Always glad to help successfully. For the uncertain, I just simply added a resizer into the script that... resizes into the same resolution (Don't ask why it's needed, it just needs it to work), and then resizes the logo into the 'resized' AVI's size. This works very well with HD logos, SD logos tend to be more noticeably distorted. It also allows you to only require a single PNG logo for every single television based console, since the aspect corrector in the MKV should stretch the logo to what it used to be anyway.

LoadPlugin("DeDup.dll")
framerate = 60.1
framestdebut = 120

titrejeu = """Legend of Zelda"""
auteur = "Baxter & jprofit22"
temps = "22:38.13"
rerecords = "33531"

tailletexte = 20

a = AVISource("movie.avi").ConvertToRGB24()
f = a.PointResize(a.width * 1, a.height * 1)
b = ImageSource(file="logo.png", start=0, end=119, fps=a.FrameRate).ConvertToRGB24()
c = BlankClip(b, audio_rate=48000, channels=1)
d = AudioDub(b, c).Lanczos4Resize(f.width, f.height).AssumeFPS(a.FrameRateNumerator, a.FrameRateDenominator)
last = d + f 
Subtitle("Legend of Zelda.\nPlayed by Baxter & jprofit22\nPlaying time: 22:38.13\nRerecord count: 33531", y=0, align=8, first_frame=115, last_frame=355, size=13.0, text_color=$30FFFFFF, halo_color=$00000000, lsp=1)
Subtitle("This is a tool-assisted recording.\nFor details, visit http://TASVideos.org/", y=98, align=2, first_frame=356, last_frame=586, size=15.0, text_color=$30FFFFFF, halo_color=$00000000, lsp=1)
ConvertToYV24(chromaresample="point")
ConvertToYV12(chromaresample="lanczos4")
DupMC(log="dup.txt")
Try this. This sets the logo to automatically resize to the AVI's size.

Just a note to any encoders, please encode this using the bin and cue edition of the games dump! This will help you achieve the highest possible audio quality! Not HD encoding due to being in the incorrect house to do this, I'll pick it up in 2-3 days if MisterEpic doesn't beat me to the punch.

Making a HD encode now. Yes voted, obviously.

I think pretty much the only reason that an automatic program hasn't been made is almost purely due to the subtitles. A human being has far better judgement of where the subtitles should go than a computer... in fact, this was suppose to be half the purpose of AviSynth in my mind. To make the process much much faster and leaner, with the subtitles step being a breeze. I am guessing people are still very afraid to due the older MEncoder method (Which is still in use by Linux encoders... they will kill me for saying this, but they're really in the minority...). All it is, is that you basically run multiple batch files and change a few simple options for each encode... the only systems I can see that really could go wrong with this are N64, PSx, DOS, and DS runs (The latter due to screen rotation and such). I admit it does seem daunting at first, encoding for me at first was a nightmare (Probably due to the completely different encoding methods of 2009 which seemed dead set on basically making Raiscan, adelikat, and Nach the only people that could encode). In fact, I have to send massive thanks to Aktan and Grunt for making the encoding landscape the way it is today!

I'll process a HD encode soon... it's been a while since I've uploaded something. I need to get off my ass and encode more movies.

There is more than one way to skin a furry. Granted, hard vore isn't really my thing, but role playing it out is... interesting. On that note, torture is also pretty hot if done right. But it really depends on how it's done.

I shall now proceed to list my preferred sexual fetishes to prove that I am the scariest staff member to the more conservative person.

Ordered from least likely to offend someone to most likely to offend someone. The list is larger, but I'm feeling lazy at the moment. Edit: Censored upon request, and I agree with the request.

Exactly. Hence the phrase, "There is more than one way to skin a cat".

You don't want skin in your meat, do you?

It refers to the multiple ways of which you can strip the skin off an animal for the purposes of using the meat.

When in doubt about encoding, just ask us for support...
And then watch the cat skin then get skinned multiple times.

For me, it's that kind of "bad surprise", after I upload one of my encodes to a streaming site such as YouTube. The sound may get off sync BECAUSE of YouTube without you know until someone tells you.
That has me worried too. Honestly, it was part of the reason I tried to supply the point based HD encodes via Archive.org whenever practical, so that other uploaders could upload that instead of the streaming media breaking SD encode. I don't think WebNations ever took notice, however. Whatever happened to him, anyway?

Encoder wars. Ask two sufficiently experienced encoders for their opinion on something and you'll get three different answers.
That's because there is a multitude of different ways to skin a cat video. It just happens that encoders also happen to take pleasure in skinning each other. It's probably the most popular TASVideos fetish, alongside ball-busting!

Idea that came to mind, since I am shocked that more TASers can't encode. I'd like to know why they are so afraid. What scares me most about encoding, you may ask? Getting the subtitles right.
