Try announcing in IRC looking for a publisher.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
Duration of the video
The video must start at the beginning of the input file (normally console start-up) and must include the full ending (with at least one full loop of the ending song for those games that have them).

Ok, I can extend it to include a full loop of the song.
The video must start at the beginning of the input file (normally console start-up) and
The .smv starts from a save state.
Is that part ok, or does the missing input need to be added?
It should start from wherever the smv starts. Why the smv starts where it does was was a judge thing, not my problem.
As far as the ending goes, use your best judgement... I dislike where this encode ends not particularly because of the song (it's the same song that has been running the whole race), but because it seems "abrupt" and unprofessional; it looks like something may have been cut off, even if that's not the case.

It's a movie from 2004, so don't bother, because at the time it can just start from snapshot, where examples were on EVERY Famtasia movies. That was a problem, so later it was changed to do it only from power-up (no SRAM, but there are examples, like [1607] GB Super Mario Land "hard mode" by MUGG in 12:14.77).

Yah, the ending is a non-event because its a 2-player race and the 2nd player hasn't finished yet.
Can I finish the 2nd player and splice in whatever ending happens then?

Ending (or better, next map) happens after more than 5 minutes after race was started (of course, if 2nd Player never moved his controller). Then we have points for race screen, total points score screen and next race "loading" screen.

Ahh, that explains it. I'd prefer no splice personally because it goes against authenticity.
Honestly, given all of this information, it doesn't sound like there is a good way to cut this video.

Maybe show "This has been a tool-assisted speedrun, for more information visit http://TASVideos.org/" and then end.
Might make the ending look more intentional.
Just a heads up, it looks like this movie file was recently re-encoded and re-uploaded to YouTube. However, the encoding subtitles with author information is incorrect. It lists nitsuja as the author, rather than Phil. The rerecord count and time is also incorrect.

I don't see how this movie was published through an abuse of power. I'd say this was published for being the fastest completion of a track at the time.

Publishers are not allowed to publish their own movies.
Minor correction here: Publishers are allowed to publish their own movies, but it's discouraged and only really done as an exception nowadays (e.g. if for some reason, no other publisher can get it to sync or if they (as in the publisher who's not the submitter) run into severe graphical/audio issues they can't resolve).
In short, Publishers can publish their own movies, but they shouldn't unless an exception is granted.
Other than that....yeah.
