Would it be possible to add a little star next the the name of the winner in the forum ? I would like a badge that you keep for the year. And in 2010, if you are a winner again, you gain a second badge. That would be very nice !

it should be a rule, you must not skip FMV, it adds so much entertainment that way. And if it's a rule, no one will skip FMV and there won't be any competition with this.

If you never played Megaman 9, there is a endless more with random room. I think the record is something like 2500 screens

I would stay with and, it's just a preference, but I think it is more readable.

Wasn't there something about finishing the game in a certain amount of time ?

actually, i was just uploading the movies by FTP. That's all, so if there's another method, maybe the files must be uploaded individually to work ? In any case, it didn't work for me while uploading the movies by ftp

Is there someone that can make a list of every movies that missed a movie on archive.org ? That way I could redownload them and upload them

So just always record both screen. The only thing that remains ans that is game specific, is the space between the two screen. As some game uses a space equivalent of the real space between them, other just uses no space so the screens appears stick together.

Actually, a fast demo could be shown, but it's not even playing chess, it's like getting focus, hitting menu, battle done. Skip all text, rince and repeat. I really doubt it would make a good movie. There isn't any exploration, and unless some bugs are found to skip the game (I really doubt that) I would be suprise to find this a little entertaining. I watched a part of the speed run of SDA and I stopped as soon as I saw the calculator in action. EDIT : superjupi signature resume this post pretty well =D

Not necessarily. The Mega Man 1 movie was encoded with a script (or something) that made the Magnet Beam appear more solid. In other words, better. It's OK because the original input file is still available and can be verified by anyone.
More like, it was an exception that happened purely because Bisqwit likes Megaman. ;) We don't see that happening in every other game which has flickering or wobbling, even though that would greatly benefit the relevant TASes.
Actually, I think that it's because no one did something to change the visual of a glitch. I remember the Sonic Cam Hack that were encoded. I guess people should make visual change when it benefits the entertainment. To me, that should be added and counted toward entertainment in the vote.

I think that unless the screen is blank, it should always be recorded, Zelda has a map. So there's always something relevant about the game on both screen. I can't think of a game that has the second screen blank.

I would prefer having both screen, even if there's nothing really interesting on the second screen. That would be awkward to have something the upper screen, something the lower screen, sometime both, something they switch in the movies. What about those time where the second screen is important for the like 10 seconds in an hour long movie ? Would you just record that 10 seconds to change the ratio of the movies ? That doesn't make sense. Both screen would be better to not miss any information. In New Super Mario Bros, you would miss the item that you have in reserved.

I doubt that It will get accepted, the fact that you need to pay for it is pretty bad. That means only the taser that want to pay will be able to TAS, and even worse, we won't be able to watch the movies because we didn't pay for it.

World of Goo will be an amazing game to play :) I think that there will be a great competition among TASer to make the better run. The strategies are hard to pin point exactly, and in a TAS there will be some thing that will be possible that won't be in real life. I hope to see this as soon as the Wii is TASable.

Actually, it would be easier if there was a FrontEnd to playback every files. Like I select a rom and a movie file, and it lunch the good emulator, the good version of the emulator (as there's often a lot of different version) and just playback the movie. That would solve a lot of problem. If the front end would download new emulator when it is available. It would be great.

We should compare what is already encoded, There's a lot of videos that already have both screen. The bar between screen should be calculated on a movie basis, some seems to include a space between the screens, others have a direct access. I mean that the game doesn't treat the space between the screen as a space, so the screen appears to be stick together.

I would sacrifice speed for entertainment by looking straight instead of down.

I think he means putting the name of the nes or snes games. Not sending the rom file

Youtube reencode the movies, so if you put it on youtube HD the quality is better, even if you upload the same video

It will be possible !!!! As soon as there is a Wii emulator working full speed. Don't expect it to be any time soon, the ps2 emulator isn't finished yet.

Yes, there is a problem with a table in the forums. Waiting for Bisqwit to take action when he will be here.

That's pretty much what we are saying. So maybe there should be someone that review the visual quality of the file to know if it should be reeconded because the quality is too low ?

You are missing the point. The point is, the bitrate should be ajusted so that the game look good, even if that means having a bitrate that takes 6mb/min. That's pretty much it. Nothing more, nothing less.

You can read MKV with VLC or Media Player Classic
