As long as movie ratings are subject to harassment from people like swordless, I'm certainly never going to do one. I have better things to waste my time on than yet another irc argument. (Or maybe I don't...)

Thanks again to rog the dolphin wizard, without who we'd have only one wii publication, heh. What I'm going to do is post a dolphin build that syncs this and has dumpfix stuff on it to my dolphin git repo, so hopefully anyone will be able to reproduce encodes... might not happen for a bit though.

http://youtu.be/3zvEkvoyNvs This is one of those awesome TASes that deserve an HD encode. Enjoy! I was surprised to see that this movie was still in 240p when there has been SotN TASes in HD since last year. Hmm. video processing takes quite a long time :/

Welcome to TASVideos! Your donation to our library of encodes is appreciated, and I'm going to add it to the official publication page; this movie was indeed long overdue for a replacement youtuber. Your encode looks quite good for a first timer. I congratulate you in successfully navigating the thorny web of encode guidelines. Two things stood out that I would change (for future encodes, no need to redo this one): 1. Please make the logo at the beginning last for 2 seconds; this only appeared to last for about 1 second. The extra second really helps in giving people time to read (or hit pause before the logo goes away). 2. In both the logo and the subtitles, please give the website URL as "http://TASVideos.org"; note that the 'V' is capitalized. If you'd like to encode more, you might possibly considering hanging out on #tasvideos on freenode irc. It's where we ~~flail around helplessly~~ coordinate our encoding and publishing efforts.

A little apropos, but there was a 1.0 release a little under a week ago. Any interesting changes in there someone who's less boorish about emulation than I am noticed that might service RR a bit better, or is it the same old builds under a public package?

The actual emulation core has gained much in bugfixes and compatibility in the last two years, which is always a good thing.

There's no officially blessed api for that, so I just get (http request) video pages and then scrape them for info. Very unreliable, nonportable (might even screw up if I was served by a different node of youtube's CDN?), and can always break tomorrow.

This is the version that rog posted at the end of this page : http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7692&start=620 .

Those are binary only though, doesn't really help. I need the source code for that release (preferably in the form of a git hash tag that I can pull off some repo).

Doesn't really matter then. One of three things has to happen: a) An RR patch gets accepted into mainline and then kept there, where it can be continually maintained as the emulator evolves. b) The emulator reaches full maturity, so that the codebase is stable and unlikely to change, and RR can be implemented without fear. c) The RR dev invests the time to continually keep RR up to date with changes in mainline. Desmume chose a), and that worked out reasonably well. Dolphin chose a), and that's sort of kind of worked out, maybe. Quite a few of the emulators used on TASVideos are cases of b), but pcsx2 is no where near that. I don't think c) is a realistic possibility.

my versions have a few enhancements for video dumping, but are otherwise standard. if you're getting a core desync problem, there might be nothing to be done about it...

this script can be used to create a cutsceneless encode:

Language: lua
--[[
start this script at the same time as you playback the movie and dump the avi.
when finished, be sure to hit "stop" in the lua script window to ensure that the created file gets flushed

you'll have an "mfskip.avs" that will contain a set of Trim() commands that will create a cutsceneless encode
]]

local pigf = -1
local skipping = true
local startframe = 0

local outfile = io.open ("mfskip.avs", "w")

local firstsegment = true

-- remember to hit "stop" to ensure that the io file gets cleaned up correctly!

while true do
	local igf = memory.readbyte(0x0300013B) -- in game time counter
	if igf ~= pigf then -- display this frame
		if skipping then -- end skipping, so record start of new unskipped segment
			startframe = avi.framecount()
			skipping = false
		end
	else -- skip this frame
		if not skipping then -- start skipping, so record finish of last unskipped segment
			if avi.framecount () > 1 then -- avoid 1 frame edge case that causes avs problems
				if firstsegment then
					outfile:write (string.format ("       c0.Trim (%i, %i)\n", startframe, avi.framecount () - 1))
					firstsegment = false
				else
					outfile:write (string.format ("last + c0.Trim (%i, %i)\n", startframe, avi.framecount () - 1))
				end
				skipping = true
			end
		end
	end
	pigf = igf
	emu.frameadvance()
end

Anyone care to do a high quality encode only of the lower screen?

mpc-hc (and probably many other players) can zoom on one screen as a part of the "pan and scan" functionality. you can even make presets for it, pretty nifty.

Shut your pie hole. If every publication was suspended indefinitely at the possibility of a 1 frame improvement, we'd be at 43M right now.
