I did this to preview correctly 
bighaloCutoff = 100

Most likely due to difference in relative font size between SD preview and HD encode, there's now a gap below the subs. I avoided it by previewing with ng_bighalo directly. fsvgm777, does this look like it's worth redoing once again?

Is maxing out the visible score counter considered a valid "maximum score" goal for a game with no clear ending point? If the answer is no, maybe it's better to explicitly state this in the rules as that can seem ambiguous.
Score is not mentioned as a completion factor for such games:
The movie must be complete wrote:
  • If there's no clear ending, end after all unique content (enemies, level layouts, game mechanics, etc.) is exhausted.
    • Alternately, after completing all unique content, you may end when the in-game difficulty (enemy speed, AI, etc.) stops increasing.
I don't think we should list everything that is not considered completion. Explicitly listing what is, is enough IMO.

I think this would be acceptable: Link to video

LGTM (use the VBA one).

[1759] GBA Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow "all souls, inbounds" by Kriole in 24:56.10 Maybe "all souls, inbounds" can stand as a separate category for this game? Or move the 2 newest movies to "all souls, warp glitch" instead?
It was brought up a year ago, now we can resume that discussion. My first question is, are "warp glitch", "out of bounds", and "zips", the same thing?

This will need some accompanying notes according to Post #355723, as well as feedback.

The goal is having a YT alternative that's easy to use and high in quality. Archive can only stream 4:2:0 h264 inside mp4, and from my tests, it's not perfect at seeking, and may even be too slow with playback. Honestly 4:2:0 makes this option look shittier than on YT. I tried out the DASH format today. Even without the .mpd file, dash stream loads much faster on Archive than regular mp4. So I wonder if your tool will be able to support dash mp4+mpd taken from another site like Archive. That would probably solve a bunch of problems. Overall, due to problems with 1x subtitles, I'm not sure if we want to use the soft-scaling functionality to resize 1x encodes. But I like how much better it looks compared to the best format Archive can stream. And yeah if it can only work with files I have locally, it hardly compares to just watching it on YT, because as the poll shows, almost nobody watches SD encodes anymore. They are slow to download and don't really look that good if chroma is subsampled (at least below 4:2:2). One of the reasons we're switching to 480p is to fully control resizing. Some games have weirdly wide or narrow resolutions that need to be normalized for the TV look. Some games have scrolling pixelated backgrounds that look jumpy if we don't upscale them evenly or with some amount of blur. Could it be possible to stack different scale filters with this player? Like point to 2x and then lanczos to 4:3?

What command do you use to make those encodes?

For a vertical arcade game meant for a sideways CRT TV, aspect ratio should be 3:4. Post #449540 Post #451786

I feel the second subtitle entry is way too late. If you split subtitles into 3 or 4 entries, won't there be enough space at the very bottom?

The last screen in this encode is actually the first screen of the game again. fsvgm777, should it be trimmed away?

Haven't read the thread, only the OP. How about this: Any user can make a submission and set it to a certain status (not just New or Canceled) that would mean the same as sending it to the Showcase class. After that it won't have to be judged, but would still have its own dedicated discussion thread (you can't even subscribe to userfile comments right now), properly working submission page with all the usual stats, etc. In the relevant game related page like http://tasvideos.org/Game/nes-battletoads.html such submissions would show up in their own tab. I think it would be fitting to call this tab User Playground. Or just Playground. And different branches would need to be grouped together somehow. Yeah I suggest calling this whole concept Playground, and make it fully managed by users.

While I prefer subtitle positioning in this video, and breaking the first subtitle entry into 2 if there's a ton of lines, this is not bad enough to redo IMO.
