"The video you are about to see is an illegitiamte hoax. It was created using a recordable savestating emulator and should not be confused as a legitimate run."
Apparently you think this would be an appropriate disclaimer that gives the necessary information. If this is the case, then if we use this disclaimer it can't be a hoax, because hoaxes are intended to fool people, and would try to hide information. I thought the current disclaimer (which
did last long enough to be read) which included the words "tool assisted" was enough, but if just knowing that tools were used to make the gameplaying easier isn't enough and you need to know all the details of exactly how Famtasia works, then how about something like a 6 second disclaimer that says: "This emulator movie was made using save states and slow motion as a tool to perfect the gameplay of this entertaining movie, and is not a legitimate record."
I propose to Bisqwit that each video he encodes have a disclaimer at least 10 seconds in length which reads as the following:
For most people, I think only 6 seconds would be more than enough to read a disclaimer of that length. Anything from 4 to 7 would probably be fine, but 10 would just be boring and annoying.
Otherwise, as a competative gamer who is having more and more difficulty proving my accomplishments with the advent of these illegitimate videos
How would you have more difficulty proving your accomplishments now that more people are making Famtasia movies? Famtasia has been around since 1999, but it just wasn't so popular, but it was still possible for people to make speed runs with it and attempt to pass them off as legit. Now that so many people are making Famtasia movies (though very few claim them as legit), websites that keep track of video game scores will see what Famtasia is capable of and they'll just be much more careful, so if anything, the recent popularity of Famtasia has helped prevent legit and Famtasia movies from being mixed up. If no one knew about Famtasia, then if anyone tried to pass off a Famtasia movie as legit he could easily get away with it.
If you don't like the community, stay away from it.
Well he hasn't flamed yet or said that he doesn't like the community in this topic, he's just trying to help improve the disclaimer. Despite what he's said on GameFAQs, we shouldn't assume that he's here to cause trouble, so as long as he stays civilized there's no need to tell him to go away.

Read this Mister DAN.
Btw I don't mind if people like you are frustrated.I'm doing these videos and that's all.
It seems that you missed the point of his post. He didn't call anyone a cheater or unproffesional, or tell us to stop making the movies. His post was about what the disclaimer should be. He spoke politely, and he wasn't
too unreasonable in his request, so if you don't agree with him, then instead of being arrogant you should logically explain why you don't think his request is unreasonable, explain what you find objectionable and/or false about his disclaimer, and outline exactly what the point of tension is. If you are correct, then you shouldn't have any trouble politely explaining these things, and if you can't then maybe his point was stronger than you thought it was.
Please lock this thread
I'd rather see some intelligent discussions and hopefully an agreement on what the proper disclaimer should be, so for now I'll keep this topic open, but if it ends up turning into a flame war, then I most certainly will lock it.
I see... Apparently the truth strips the fun away.
Which comment in this topic implied that the truth strips the fun away? I think we're all in agreement that people should know the truth, but I think some of us aren't in agreement about what information is necessary to make sure that people know the truth, how much detail should be included, and what information should be in the movie itself and what information can be at the site instead.
