Would it be possible to modify the game engine so that ending the input file doesn't end the game?
It might be too complicated. I don't think there is any issue, if we consider the fact that including the ending is a TASVideos standard. This game requires empty input to show the ending. So what? That's how the game is.
Oh, I get it now. If the game was TASed with JPC-RR or some other DOS emulator, then the .lmp file would not be needed at all. The game would be played normally without using the game's own replay feature. Input could then be ended early and the ending text and image would keep rolling. Until somebody makes this happen (which might take years), I believe the best thing is to just accept the fact that .lmp file requires empty input to show the ending.

Done. What should i do with it?
You can upload the edited file somewhere, like here: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles
One of the site editors can then replace the submission with it.

Also, the ending text/image
I was thinking about cutting it off entirely.
Nooooooooooooooooo! Each episode has a different piece of art at the end. Some of the images are actually quite cool. It would be nice to include them. Including the ending/credits is a TASVideos standard, anyway.

Should i?
If it is not too much trouble, then I'd say go for it.
Also, the ending text/image should look as clean as possible, so if you can fix that too, it would be cool. It should be made as if the audience had never seen it before, so maybe let the text roll slowly and then keep the final image for a few seconds before stopping recording?

By the way, in case somebody doesn't know, tool-assisted speedruns for Doom existed long before Bisqwit created this site. Doom was the first game ever to be TASed, am I right?

i already got three demos like that
Don't worry. I think they are so good that they should be published anyway, no matter how the intermission screens are done. It can be considered a stylistic choice, which is totally acceptable and should be respected.
Oh, what about the aesthetics of the ending screen?
I think it should be standardized. Maybe let the ending text roll at its own speed and then let the final image stay for 10 seconds?

The problem with ending input early is this: If the input ends, the game will exit. That is why it is necessary to keep recording input after the final shot.

Edit:
Also, there are so many ways in which even the supposedly non-retarded brain fails, like when processing the color of a dress, so it is not at all surprising that a vague concept like "TAS community" seems to be dying to someone. I remember having similar thoughts a few years ago, but it was probably a fallacy or illusion of some sort. Even a healthy Homo sapiens is very prone to illusions, fallacies and delusions, which can be easily verified by talking to one of the so called "religious" people. Calling them retarded would often be wrong. They just don't know. Even a seemingly healthy person can be delusional on some aspect of reality.

The data suggests a pretty steady increase in the number of new players.
2015: 9 new players (This is for the first two months, so it is 4.5 new players per month = 4.5 x 12 = a total of 54 new players projected for 2015.)
2014: 50
2013: 55 (Two less than last year.)
2012: 57 (Two less than last year.)
2011: 59
2010: 42 (Douglas Adams would be proud.)
2009: 42 (Douglas Adams would be proud.)
2008: 34
2007: 62
2006: 42 (Douglas Adams would be proud.)
2005: 46
2004: 78 (All players were newbies here.)

Haha, this sounds familiar! I remember showing some of my Gens stuff to a friend. Me navigating the menus like an autistic lightning bolt seemed to impress him more than anything else I showed him.

I know this is the future, because a casual conversation related to my hobby probes the existence of defining qualities that separate humans from robots.

three of the players of the run are judges
I know what 'em judges be thinking. "Did I reject six or only five runs made by Aqfaq?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 reject button, the most powerful reject button in the world and would blow you head clean off, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punks?
I think it should be standardized. Maybe let the ending text roll at its own speed and then let the final image stay for 10 seconds?
