There's several editors available which will allow you to copy and paste later stages. However this won't always work right depending on how the randomness in the game works. If you mention which format/emulator you're using, we can point you in the right direction of the tools to use. Edit: Also see here: http://tasvideos.org/Downloads.html#tools_

You can try to hex-edit the movie. If that does not work, though, you will have to recreate your movie.

1. Make a copy of the original movie 2. Start recording from Stage2 and improve whatever isn't satisfactory. 3. Splice the two together (I have an editor, as does Zefiris). If you have any difficulty with the process, I'd be happy to give it a go for you. Just post the files to microstorage (or zip them up and stick them somewhere accessible). Assuming no randomness issues (as Nach described), this should work. EDIT: This assumes you aren't running an N64 game ;)

If you've made a new FCM of the improved level, and you still have a copy of the original movie, I can show you how to combine the two. Let me know when you've got the new level done and I can walk you through the process.

2 things... Firstly, change your avatar, or resize/resample it. It's against the rules to have such dimensions on your avatar Secondly, use TAS Movie Editor for the job. As long as you know what to copy from the new movie, and until where to replace it, the editor should have all the tools to make it easy enough.
