For me it desyncs when he tries to get shoes. ROM seems to match:

This is so deadly boring I can't watch it till the end. Which makes me feel I am allowed to vote No for it. Probably good for Vault, but I don't know if it differs anyhow from the real time play.

Reading this thread I realize that we can not stop making 8-bit encodes for now. As for switching from one to another as a primary, I don't see how the either way is better because it would only change the order in the publication module. So, no changes to the current encoding system here to expect in the near future.

Plot:
At first it is shown how Mario tries to get into the wall. Like tasers normally do that, with rerecords displayed in real time. Similarly to Bisqwit's Chrono Cross session.
Then when he finally gets into the wall, the rerecording concept is introduced as is, we can tell what we can do with games thanks to rerecording.
Dance - clips with dances and whirligig.
Draw - fire from Gunstar Heroes, Brain Age, Tetris playaround.
Trick - last boss in Chamale's River Sity Ransom kills himself, last ghost in Gimmick several times in a row damages from the same star when the movie is already over.
Play our own game - Fire pong from Gunstar Heroes, button display from JXQ's Super Metroid opening.
Zip - various Megaman's zips.
Glitch - background, gameplay glitches. Something from the glitched Super Metroid, from Rockman & Forte 100CD.
...and just have fun - random mix of everything, including some multitas.
Ending: Megaman runs through the glitched world that Wily never managed to save from Megaman.

Publisher is a person who encodes TASes our players produce, creates torrents and screenshots, and publishes the movie on the main site.
There are 2 encodes that are required now:
Archive.org 480p stream (8-bit 4:2:0 MP4)
YouTube HD stream
The first one is uploaded to Archive.org, HD stream is uploaded to TASVideosChannel on YouTube.
Screenshots are picked from the lossless dump and then either saved as PNG and optimized, or saved as JPG.
If something does not work out right, use our Wiki: LiveChat to solve all kinds of problems (Discord is preferred).
Encoder is a person who only makes encodes and has a permission to upload to TASVideosChannel. Those encodes are then used by a publisher. Some encoders then become publishers.
Guidelines exist, to help doing everything correctly.
If you don't follow all the flow this post mentions while creating publication files, they will most likely be not used for an actual publication. Otherwise everyone is welcome to participate and help us handle the publication job!

Technically I support pressing A. Personally I support what was submitted. Aesthetically I support the cutscene over credits.

If it loses time to existing public WIPs it can be proven to be suboptimal. Unless the losses are considered insignificant :) Someone should help and post the losses per act.

Such cases are not critical for us. I was meaning games that primarily do streams instead of generation/synthesis.

There just must be some definition which games use chiptune (and need default settings) and which use stream audio (and require higher quality).

Am I right that line breakers (%%%) are forgotten there?

This movie is reported to start from Reset, while the previous ones of that branch were starting from a snapshot. As I playback 4017S and then try to replay your submission, it fails to load the movie.

Not antialiased, yes. Because it is a bitmap font!

With better technology 5 years later, 50 MB larger doesn't make much sense...
The exact same settings I used here saved 50 MB from previous SK3 encode, so I have no idea what you are trying to say.

The run is okay, the game is cool, the sound effects make just no sense!

Okay, they should have been put in the beginning of the first level. I'm curious who will reencode all 8 of them now.

Wonder if it's possibly to pause the music during transitions as well, as having the music skip around did get on my nerves for a little while. Not sure if one can exercise that much control over the game's behavior through LUA scripts, though.
It is perfectly possible, but not easy at all. Requires good hacking skill. You may try requesting it in SM thread.

All SM encodes I did had subtitles at the first gameplay room.
Rules wrote:
The subtitles should appear within the movie once gameplay has started, while not blocking any relevant parts of gameplay.

Which violates our rules.
So you are telling me that entering the first gameplay room (Ceres it is called?) is an automated cutscene?

I know that V0 is the best/maximum. But what about minimal transparent setting for ogg?

AngerFist used to request HQ encodes with overkilled settings for some TASes: lossless audio and overscaled video. The file size was respective. RGamma was making such encodes for him lately.
Today I published Super Metroid with usual 10bit encode, but used q10 ogg audio, just for AngerFiset (regards only the alternate encode). He said that he sees and hears no disadvantage over the usual HQ encodes he requests, just is surprized by the file size.
I propose using better audio settings for 10bits, since they already have lossless video, having near-lossless audio is logical. People can resize the encode with pixel filter and see the same lossless video they see in emulator. But audio was always suffering. Why not make it better?
The only question is, what setting is the best? Since it is a chiptune, neither lossless, nor q10 are really needed. But what would be the transparent minimum?

All four encodes will have alternate versions.
