Hello. I plan to make tool assisted videos of some PS1 games, so which emulator is better for that? I just want one that is reliable (in other words, one that doesn't desync).

PSXjin is better than PCSX-rr, although that doesn't say much. As far as sync stability is concerned, I haven't personally found much issues with the TAS plugins of PCSX, but if that fails, chances are PSXjin might be better in this regard. However, I don't think PSXjin is infallible either. So yeah, I recommend you go with PSXjin.

This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time.

Usually people only pick PCSX when a game doesn't run well in PSXjin. If you need stuff reliable and easy, use the latter. If you want to use specific audio/video plugins to improve the quality, use the former. But some plugins still cause desyncs.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
