Novice Speedrunner
I realize that this is kind of nitpicky, and I don't know much about encoding and such so forgive me if this is misinformed, but why are some of the videos so insanely laggy? TMNTIV has TONS of sections (especially in the first ten minutes) where the sound will keep going but the video will stop for four or five seconds, and then you might get a chain of two or three of these. Is this due to a glitch in the recording process? CGDQ and AGDQ1 never had this problem, but starting with SGDQ and now this marathon videos often end up with worse lag in them than the original stream had. It hasn't been a complaint-worthy issue until now, but TMNTIV is nigh unwatchable due to the huge freezes in video feed, which sucks because from what I heard in chat after the fact it was a good run.
Is there any way to fix this? What changed in the way that the video footage was recorded that ended up recording any lag on your guys end as well? I know only a few videos are up, so I can't judge the whole batch yet, but I'm hoping some of the higher profile run videos won't run into this issue, since the stop-and-go makes it more common to miss tricks or fights, and it becomes difficult to enjoy the speedrun.
Edit: I've discovered that this was an issue with Quicktime adding in the strange lag (which it hasn't done before). The file runs fine in VLC. Sorry for the false alarm!
