So, I contacted Simon, the admin of archive.org, and he has granted me admin privileges to both the Community Video archive and the Speed Runs archive. As you may have noticed, many encoders (including myself initially) have been uploading to archive.org not knowing that they could put their video in the Speed Runs archive. As such, there are many mis-categorized submissions. I am calling upon you to compile a list of these movies so that I can move them to the Speed Runs archive. Be it by manual means or through a script, we should really start in the process of porting these movies. Not only will this make it easier for our viewers to find the movies, but it would also make it much easier for the admins of this site to manage them. In fact, it makes an encoding mission of mine possible (Replacing derived 512kb files with original ones). So, let's get to it!
All the best, Brandon Evans

Thank you Ilari; I knew you'd come through. If anyone finds a video not on this list that should be re-categorized, please let us know.
All the best, Brandon Evans

None of the movies I uploaded are in the proper category, and I apologise for this. To be fair I tried to contact them in their irc at least three times to ask for assistance, but I never got any response, so I just went ahead and uploaded everything in the general Video category. Glad to see this can be addressed now.

Quite honestly, I'm not sure if people without admin access can even categorize their movies. They certainly can't move their collections.

The remaining two movies are being stubborn. I'll E-Mail an admin. Edit: He said to just wait; they'll move eventually.

This number is now at 0. To keep it that way, please let me know every time you create a collection on archive.org.
All the best, Brandon Evans
