Phew! I think I got it. Rightclick on master -> TortoiseGit -> Pull. ("The difference between pull and fetch is: Pull will merge remote branch change to local branch which tracked with remote branch. Fetch just get change from remote branch and never merge.") Then simply use an avsync repo as a remote URL and pick a needed remote branch from that repo. Compiling the result of that right now... Can you guys confirm it's how it should be done? TortoiseGit steps: 1. Git Clone -> google.code or github URL. 2. Switch/Checkput -> desired Commit. 3. Pull -> Arbitrary URL to avsync repo, Remote Branch - which you need. Note: If pulling from natt's repo, use branch 3825S (it's when missing samples were fixed), but then go to log, select commit "STBM's memorycard.diff" and revert it :D. 4. Build Dolphin_2010.sln! If so, then before building, one needs to go to VideoCommon -> Util -> AVIDump.cpp, cut
Language: c

if (timecodes) { std::fclose (timecodes); timecodes = 0; }
out of AVIDump::CloseFile() and put it to AVIDump::Stop(), right? Right, splitting works as expected. EDIT: I noticed one more thing. Whenever I dump on x86 XP, overlapping windows break Dolphin capture by freezing it where the window is, and it doesn't happen to the same build on x64 7. What could be the reason for that? Dumping method doesn't affect it.

I'll vote not to a Pacifist run which uses arrows.

Used for movies that explicitly avoid killing enemies (or only kill as few as possible) when it is unnecessary for game completion, even at the expense of completion time.
It is very well still a pacifist category.

I support the initial approach totally. We always allow to kill some enemy that simply can't be bypassed pacifist, the concept doesn't die. But yes, the very meaning of all additional branches is to present new content, be it something a viewer can obviously see, or something only a TASer knows. In Ninja Gaiden, we don't use the sword outside boss rooms, meaning it will be a default weapon run all the way through. And it does introduce a lot of new starts, making a run way harder to optimize than a normal one, and it's also obvious to the viewer. This is what we want from additional branch - as much difference as sane conditions can grant. This case is mostly similar. Sub-weapon is what makes the current run be what it is - its weapon management is at some absurdly high level. Now what, copy all the arrow strats just to save a single enemy? Please.

I have a question. How does one actually patch a given revision of Dolphin to add avsync to it? Say I checked out some old 3.0-dirty crap. What do I do next? Force some automatic merge with something? 2 year gap must break everything. Or is it some known set of files/functions that you add again and again? Or a patch that always is tweaked by hand?

The 100% of the NES game is being worked on. Not sure what this has to do with anything but ok. All x and all y is the set definition of Z% in a game without a % tracker is what I arbitrarily believe in btw. You don't need the things I personally think you don't. In fact, its impossible to define because you do not have enough persons opinion on the subjective definition.
http://speeddemosarchive.com/ChronoTrigger.html#100p
100% definition SDA defines 100% for Chrono Trigger as completing all sidequests that Gaspar (the guy at the End of Time) mentions, which are the following: -Cyrus's ghost -Rainbow Shell -Geno Dome -Sunstone -Ozzie's Fort -Sunken Desert -Yakra XIII -Black Omen
Most of the times, for games with no track of completion %, it's either exclusively stated which kind of full completion it is ("best ending", "all items"), or (rare case) it's just being agreed about by enough people, and not arbitrarily, but on some sane grounds. But I honestly don't remember any run without internal completion % labeled as 100% except Saturn's Chrono Trigger.

Since the first post, there appeared some new points to consider. So here they are, along with old ones:
  • 30 fps video looks particularly bad.
  • Deblink algorithm is not perfect (even if it's really good).
  • People are totally okay with slight fps mismatch between emulator (and SD encodes) and monitor.
However:
  • Deblink still tries to look closer console+TV
  • 60 fps feature is not so common yet.
So here's a new question. Should we do just full fps HD encodes, or deblinked full fps HD encodes? Here are the examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYWRpehyRqo against http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgejt9CGpDc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgY1_31eBAo against http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl5XYa-8LDM Benefits from full fps+deblink:
  • Looks more true to console+TV (even more so than SD encodes).
  • Wider compatibility. Can be viewed by everyone incapable of using proper 60 fps youtube feature (looks deblinked when falling back to 30 fps too).
Benefits from full fps alone:
  • Saves publishers encoding/uploading time.
  • Doesn't have artifacts caused by wrong masking algorithm.
Note 1: I didn't test it all on Windows 7, maybe it'd work better there. Note 2: Youtube does work for 59 fps too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywpeh-STXcY Note 3: Not only games rely on alternate frame flickering, some systems use it to compensate for sprite limit, making all objects per scanline that overcome it blink every frame, and even "worse" - TASers abuse it too, some runs would look weird without accounting for alternate frame flickering. So my personal choice would be "default to full fps+deblink unless you're sure it's not needed".

Lossless dumps are exact copies of what you see in an emulator.

Why? Because "pokemon plays twitch" (in quotes) appears only 34,500 in Google?

Gameplay couldn't keep me focused, and the sound was a bit annoying, but the music was amazing, and it wasn't "run right for justice", so I vote yes.

When a user searches for something, he can only see titles, as well as when related videos are showing up on the right. So putting more relevant info into titles matters. And judging by the reaction to what tasbot did, using those memetic terms would be the best title. Not sure "Mario inside Mario inception" is so memetic, but it's funny, and it was voiced by the announcer right after the run. "Pokemon plays twitch" is something not needing explanation at all I think. The descriptive part I simply put in the end. So now it's boring, and not any more descriptive than before.

Why is boring video title so much better than a memetic one?

The video is up. I need Nach to make it public. Also, maybe another thumbnail would be better. EDIT: there's also a typo: inception! Link to video

Windows is set to display at 60 Hz Monitor is reporting V. Frequency 59.9 Hz Is that close enough?
Yes. It's ridiculously closer to the source framerate than 75Hz anyway. 60 fps alternate frame blinking will not be alternate frame blinking at 75Hz. Proper alternate frame blinking for 75Hz would be in a 75fps video, and I bet it will look translucent. Going to convert an SM clip into that.

Added the tag, it's now available in the OP list. Tag definition seems to have been clarified: If the manipulation the run does can not possibly be replicated in real time (at all), it deserves Heavy luck manipulation tag.

Damn I forgot to mention. To properly see the source footage in the OP post (and btw maybe the YT streams too) one needs to set the monitor to 60 Hz!!! At 75 or whatever else it will not ever show 60 fps video correctly. Uh, can you guys all try that?

Since it all have succeeded, I'm downloading the entire TAS block right now, in order to trim it and send to TVC.

So what about minus infinity? It was not removed because was never added, but it abuses all kinds of weapons which needs heavy item drop manipulation, similar to Darkwing Duck, but harder, since the movie is so much longer.
