We only accept .mp4 and .mkv (h264/aac) encoded files. We have no possibility to encode your files. If you need help with encoding. Ask in the forum or join our chat.

Just follow these steps:

1. Its recommended to use emulators that support Re-Recording as they record the players input. If you cant or dont want to use that, use either the emulators direct video output option or use tools like Fraps. Screenrecorderes are not recommended as they have unstable framerates!


2. Record your video in the games original resolution to avoid stretched pixels and blurryness. Another important factor is the framerate, use the original framerate of the game! Do not use filters or other graphical enhancements! Keep the look of the game as original as possible!


3. Record your video in a lossless codec like HuffyYUV, Lagariath or TSCC. Once the video is created edit it with Virtual Dub and save your file again in a lossless format!


4. Encode the source video via Avisynth and Megui to a H264/AAC file and mux them in MKVmerge. Click on the links to download the AVS Script and megui profiles for Audio and Video.
