Congrats for you first longplay Kimu-Kun, keep up the good work

Responded in [Accepted] Cocoron

It's not just you, I tried to remux it with the megui thing, but megui did not want to do that for me, for some reason :-( I think JonL remuxed it, but he hasn't uploaded it yet, which would explain why the time on the video is 10 seconds longer on youtube than in vlc etc.. (That is why i tried remuxing it in the first place...)

Responded in [Accepted] Cocoron

I dunno if it is me...

The one I downloaded from this site won't play on DivX Player, yet it will in VLC. (dunno why I have the DivX player in the first place.)

When I uploaded it to YouTube, the audio desynced. Yet...the audio is in sync when I played in VLC.

Was mkvmerge used to make the file?

I'm going to remux to fix the audio desync and upload it to YouTube.

Responded in [Accepted] Cocoron

Yes, it is a learning process :-) We keep learning something new every time you know, trying slightly different settings in megui etc to maximize the quality of the videos.

Responded in [Accepted] Cocoron

@Geekmeister: I'll keep that in mind for the future longplays. As I say, I have a long way to go.

Responded in [Accepted] Cocoron

Good job anyway Kimu-kun! Nice to see your first longplay!

Responded in [Accepted] Cocoron

Now, we are going to accept this video under some doubts, it is a bit too compressed, and there are some deinterlacing issues in it. In the future try not to compress the video as much, and avoid deinterlacing it please.
Keep in mind that filesize is not an issue here :-P But quality is...

Apart from those minor points to fix, the longplay is good and will be accepted.

Responded in [Rejected] Power Blade 2 (NES)

This longplay was rejected because it did not meet the following requirements:

=> The video was encoded in an unnecessarily high resolution of 800x600. This resolution is neither a native console resolution nor a multiple of any native resolution.
As this game clearly does not support HD, the only accepted resolution is 720x480, also known as 480p.

We strongly advise you to seek the guidance of video wizards (ScHlAuChi, RickyC and others) on our IRC channel.

Responded in [Rejected] Mega Man 10 (Wii)

Its hard to tell from a still image but im sure both should be fine. I've had parts go bad in the video that i couldnt do anything about and both seem very good for a dazzle.

Responded in [Rejected] Mega Man 10 (Wii)

I'm not a mod or anything here, but there's barely any difference between the first picture and the second picture for the Super Mario Galaxy run.

It's really up to the mods whether the first part of the submission gets accepted or not. Otherwise you could probably try to rerecord the first segment.

Responded in [Rejected] Mega Man 10 (Wii)

And this is the corrected one (though both will still look great on Youtube and if using VLC Media Player just shrink the video down till you get the resolution you want)

Responded in [Rejected] Mega Man 10 (Wii)

This is the blurry one

Responded in [Rejected] Mega Man 10 (Wii)

Personally i think 720p on 16:9 games are fine if they're not blurry but some people are againt and want original resolution no matter what. Problem though is that the same file at 720p will appear alot better on youtube and I wouldn't want to render a long movie twice.

Its hard to say about Mario Galaxy since you used the dazzle though which always gives the video more blur though im sure some of my older videos on here are quite bad.

Responded in [Rejected] Mega Man 10 (Wii)

There are existing Wii longplays that use a 1280x720 resolution.
Mega Man 10 is a deliberately retro-looking game that does not need such a high resolution.

The Mario Galaxy 2 lp also uses 1280x720, so it should be ok, as long as the video quality is good.

It's hard to tell if it will be accepted. Maybe you could take a few screenshots of both parts (blurry and not blurry) and upload them to the ftp (or simply post them here)?

Make sure to make them true color png images, to avoid adding screenshot degradation ;-)
