Could whoever did that first Youtube encode make one with just the VBA hack screen?
Do you mean a download encode, or another YouTube encode?
I've long since just did a re-encode based on the Youtube encode using AVS to crop it, but I meant a non-Youtube encode. I did an AVCHD encode of the Super Mario 64 0-Stars TAS a few days ago to test my BDP at 10, 20, 36, 40, and 72Mb/s.
Regretfully, I deleted the output files and the source files, but I still have the script source, So if anybody wants some I could whip them up again. Or I could host the scripting somewhere.

Eternal SPU Plugin is the best sound plugin. You can use MIDAS Plugin, which is better than TAS SPU Plugin and it doesn't desyncs.
Anyway, I'm now encoding it for YouTube, so don't worry.
Thank you.
I might pick something to encode as a project some day. Probably just as a personal project.

Aktan is one of the few encoders of PCSX-rr. The reason is the encodes of this emulator must be doned with Eternal SPU Plugin, the best sound plugin. Unfortunately, there is an issue: This plugin cause desyncs in the movie file. The process to make it sync is tedious and takes a lot of time to accomplish it.
That being said, I don't recommend you doing your own encode, which will obviously sounds bad due to the sound glitches of TAS Sound Plugin.
EDIT: The process is this:
1. Check "Show FPS display on startup" in the TAS Graphic Plugin.
2. Set the sound plugin to TAS Sound.
3. Record the whole movie with regular .kkapture without sound.
4. Set the sound plugin to Eternal SPU 1.41.
5. Make sure the settings in Eternal SPU are SPUasync, async mode wait, buffer size 12.
6. Use this version of .kkapture for Eternal SPU captures and make sure "Skip frames on frequent timer checks" is check and that the frame rate is set to 120.0:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?oq4491c34o373nh
7. Capture until first desync without sound.
8. Compare the TAS sound capture with the Eternal SPU capture carefully to find the exact first frame it desyncs.
9. Look at the in game frame number (this is why display is on) and subtract 24 from it.
10. Play back the run in PCSX-RR with TAS Sound until you get to that frame and then save state on that frame.
11. Switch to Eternal SPU and capture the run without sound, but this time load the save state you made in step 10.
12. If Eternal SPU capture now passes the desync spot, capture until the next desync and repeat from step 8. If there is no more desync, proceed to step 13. If it still desyncs in the same spot, proceed back to step 9 and try subtracting one less than you did last time (aka try 23, if still doesn't work, try 22, if still doesn't work, try 21, etc...).
13. Now that you have all the save states (I hope you have a different save state for each desync), capture the run again with Eternal SPU with sound and "Show FPS display on startup" unchecked in TAS Graphic plugin for all save states.
14. Combine the parts and remove the extra junk between each part and you finally have a complete capture.
Why do they have to be done with Eternal? Can't you use another SPU plugin? Or a Null Plugin?

Taking another look here at creating an alternate encode with certain transitions/loads removed.
Is there a way to identify these transitions automatically with Lua? Alternatively, is there someone who would be willing to identify these transitions manually? (I'd give you a framenumbered video, and you'd go through it writing down all the transition start and end times.)
You might be able to look for blackness in certain areas. Since the transition is usually stairs or a door in blackness.
I could do it manually. Are we talking about the DS or PSX version? If DS you can just send one screen's video.
Send whatever format you want, but I'd prefer UT Video or Lagarith. And if you do use MP4, try not to use VFR, please. It makes me sad.
Edit: HuffYUV or Uncompressed AVI are fine too.

I believe the bubbler challenge would go as follows.
If you (or whoever) is going to do something so unlikely to get accepted here, you might as well break one more rule to make the challenge more extreme and simplify the rules: Start the game with a level 3 Nemesis and 1 max HP, and never switch weapons (and, uh, level it up immediately in the Last Cave and Hell, if you get that far). (example) (save file)
Wouldn't 1HP prevent boost jumping? That turns it from a TAS into just a no-hit challenge.

This was a good run, but the subtitles seem to be very shy. They disappear quickly. It's not like the person is pressed for time. There is usually a whole minute, or more, between lines, but the lines seem in a hurry to go away, as if the subtitler has some perverse desire to teach us to learn to speed-read.

Is it just me, or does this game have the worst voice acting ever in the history of video games?
I think it competes with Castlevania Simphony of the Night for that title, ... just my opinion =P
Have you ever noticed that if you take out the "ph" and "y" in "Simphony, it spells "Simon"?

Also, we still have the "obsolete" one's input recording and encode. I guess there's really nothing lost anyway. This just seems to concern the database.
Lol, every obsolete run has an input recording and encode.
Yes, yes it does. Thanks for reminding everyone.
On a similar note, tomorrow is Saturday.

Ah, I just noticed they were different game names when I posted.
I guess I should watch it then. I'm wondering how a 50 minute and a 28 minute TAS are identical enough to think about this.

I contacted Flop and Happy a while back and they don't have a copy.
It's unfortunate that there's no easy way to look for it.

I think an Icon would be too much, since Stars and Moons often overlap with commentated runs. Multiple icons might get redundant to the tag system.
Enforcing a commentary tag would help in keeping the list up to date automatically if the lists read tags.

Also, the list of runs with commentary page is not up to date at all.
I'm sure I knew that this list existed but it took me a while to find again just now.
My commentary for [1488] Genesis Phantasy Star IV by janus in 1:28:43.40 isn't on there either. But there was no encode using it or soft subs. At least it's in the movie's description.
If I remember right, I enjoyed that commentary. Thanks.
Optimally we should encourage certain users to provide audio tracks.
If not, at least soft subs embedded in the MKV.
If not that, then having a Site-Hosted ASS file.
Links to these things should be in the description and/or the list of links to the media.
We should get "Audio Commentary" and "Text Commentary" flags going and use it more. Maybe add tags for Comedy and Technical.

Includes encode with subtitles, but the default location of subtitles is over the HUD.
Your choices are:
Miss the Action
Risk Missing Subtitles
If they were up top in the, often monochrome, sky they would be much easier to see.
PPS: A search for subtit* in Published movies reveals 78 topics. Most of them are probably requests. Many may be commentaries that are unlisted.

Thanks.
Maybe someone could edit the page for the "commentary" special category and link to the ASS files, as well as the LUA scripts.
It might be too much work, but someone could also/instead upload new MKVs for the videos that don't have embedded subtitles.

I'm not aware of any such policy. In fact it's generally encouraged where there's pertinent new information (such as encodes of previously unmirrored/unstreamed movies). Please take specific issues with those runs' commentary tracks or lack thereof to those threads.

The encode linked on that page also contains subtitles in the same fashion that this movie's encode contains subtitles. If you can't see them, it's a problem with your player.
I never tested it since the MP4 download says it has the subs. If the MKV has subs, I don't know why the person uploaded a MP4 for the purpose of having subs. Mysteries abound.
