I have a run I need to verify ->

Ordinarily I wouldn't worry too much about it - I tend not to be too bothered if timing is "only 99.9999% accurate" - but the reported time for this run would be a 1 second WR over a run I added a second to myself in verification, because my retiming showed that to be correct. So I really really need this run to be timed with perfect precision. My retime tool can do that, but only with YouTube videos. When it's been necessary, I've also leeched twitch recordings to (temporarily) upload them to YouTube myself, so my retime tool will function (at which I delete them from my account).

The problem here is I have no idea what any of the buttons on this website do. If there's an option to download the recording, that would be ideal. I have reached out to the runner about this (they're in our Discord), but they speak minimal English (they've mentioned putting others' Discord messages through a translator on their end), so I might need additional help with this one if at all possible.

quick googling on how to download bilibili videos suggest that you cant "officially" download any but this reddit thread has some ways that might work https://www.reddit.com/r/Bilibili/comments/7u9yzi/how_to_download_video_from_bilibili_in_hd/

and so that you dont have to upload it back to youtube to retime id suggest using the nsmbw load time remover because you can just retime with it and its lightweight(?) https://github.com/RootCubed/LoadRetimer/releases

I retime BiliBili runs by downloading them and then retimeing in Avidemux

I'd recommend getting youtube-dl—it works on most video hosting sites, including bilibili. Then you can use either of the retiming methods suggested above.

@hahhah42 I tried using youtube-dl for the run above from bilibili (just to see if it works), and it didn't work. Can you confirm it works on bilibili videos? maybe an extra step is needed?

I've used it on bilibili before—I grabbed the current Megaman Rock and Roll WR with it, and I am currently downloading the vid in the op. It seems to be working, though it's getting interrupted occasionally.

Edit: It did work, and I can reupload it to mega if @EmeraldAly needs it.

I don't think I did anything extra when I installed it, so I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

youtube-dl almost always works with bilibili. If it doesnt work then you probably need to update it

I appreciate the efforts, all. The runner was able to supply a local recording with which I could do framecount, and it was actually 2 seconds better than the old WR (meaning it was better than even the reported time for that run). I have twitch leecher, so between that and native YouTube submissions I'm covered for 98% of what submissions I see. I'm not familiar with youtube-dl but I'll try to remember it if necessary in the future.
