The video was cut because he didn't update the frame to end it that was in the package script.

Yeah and that was what the overall problem was. Now the encode will be completed in around 5 hours 16 minutes. I'll be sending feos the link when I have it.

I try to login to the encode server using a generated password but I get accessed denied. I need an encode account setup.

Oh right, that completely slipped my mind! Only encoders and publishers have the privileges of uploading to TVC I'm sorry, I should have remembered that much sooner >.>

Is there a special trick when using kkapture with Mupen? If I'm using Mupen on it's own I can load up a game and it runs. I can then play back a movie file and it runs perfectly. If I'm using kkapture though, I've found that It works perfectly when the games start up, but when I try to play the input movie in Mupen, Mupen's screen remains black. I checked the status bar and when the game starts an FPS and a VI value show up at the bottom, same deal when I play back a movie. When the game starts up when kkapturing it works in the same manner, but when I try play back the movie nothing shows up at the bottom, all indications of VI and FPS are removed including the terms themselves. I fiddled around with it for a bit and found that if I hit Ctrl+Shift+P instantly after loading the rom I could get into the playback dialogue before the rom loaded in some cases (Banjo Kazooie and Chameleon Twist 2 for example, all (U)! roms). If this happened, I could load up the movie except when I ticked the read only box the tick wouldn't show up (although the emulator would act like I had ticked the box - so that's not a problem- it's just what I've been using as an indicator of whether or not capture would actually work). In other games (Super Smash Bros. & Wetrix, for two more examples), even when I hit the playback button before loading I still get nothing. I've tried with multiple video plugins (Glide Final, Rice & Jabo's Direct3D 1.6.1 and I get the same result). It's not the program or method as a whole because I've had success encoding high resolution versions of several games now, with identical settings. I'm running an Intel i7-3770 with a Sapphire R9-285, 8gb of DDR3 ram, Windows 7 Ultimate. All my drivers are up to date, as are Direct X and all of the usual runtimes. Save creating a new thread I thought I'd ask here, sorry for the long-ish post, I just thought I'd try give as much as possible. If you need screenshots (it'd mostly just be screenshots of nothing happening though) or any more detail just ask.
I'm not as active as I once was, but I can be reached here if I should be needed.

Try this fixed .kkapture build for mupen http://www.mediafire.com/download/yvayu3xhxnqn5ow/ReleaseN64.rar http://tasvideos.org/EncodingGuide/VideoDumping.html#Mupen64

I was using that kkapture build but it was an oversight with the savestates (I was skipping the pause/unpause steps without even thinking). Thank you!

How can I easily down sample a video file so it is around 480p from 1080p source? I would like a simple to use Application. Preferably with a GUI. The files are MKV format.

Wow this thing rocks! As for output, avi from virtualdub can be packed into mkv with mkvmerge no problem.

The video container (file format) is usually not a problem; the video stream codec is more important.

I have an error when encoding MKV file with the new script! http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=9srvjc&s=8#.VNx86KqsVaE Any ideas? The MP4 encoding works.

The "dupinfo" is no typo. The .mp4 encode isn't VFR; external timecodes (the "dupinfo") are not needed.

I had the same issue on a previous script, and iirc for some reason when the timecodes were made it was trying to save them to some directory in the F drive, even though I encode off of my D drive, and I don't even have an F drive

Ewww, that's ugly. Reuploaded the package. Samlaptop: open encode.avs and go to lines 158-159. Replace 
Language: avisynth
	dupinfo="F:/Encode/TASEncodingPackage/temp/dup.txt", \
	times="F:/Encode/TASEncodingPackage/temp/times.txt" \
with 
Language: avisynth
	dupinfo="./temp/dup.txt", \
	times="./temp/times.txt" \
Also: do not encode downloadables with the third screen! It doesn't make sense as they're anyway native resolution. Only for HD encode there's this option.

When I try to preview the encode without third screen I get an error that states invalid arguments to function ConverttoRGB.

Redownload the package. Go to line 54 and set stackNDSscreens to true. You were using some hacky stuff instead that you shouldn't have used.

I tried that and it still gives me an error. But when I add in StackHorizontal(PointResize(A, 512, 384),B) it shows up in Virtual Dub.

B = AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")
What' the point? Just leave 
AVISource ("movie.avi", "movie_02.avi")
as it is originally.
