I'd also point out that many Atari 2600 games don't have an actual ending so we'd be fairly limited for what games can be TASed. Off the top of my head, Adventure and Pitfall II would work and I can't think of anything else.
in my opinion, only games with an ending are worth TASing. yeah most atari games don't, but I'm basically doing it just for H.E.R.O. ^_^ btw I guess crystal castles, vanguard, q*bert and many other either have an ending or at least reach a point where they plainly start back from the beginning.

I noticed that the recording function was there but it's disabled, I've contacted the developer and we'll see if something can be done.

now, I've noticed that Stella doesn't even have a recording function :| while I'd prefer something that runs under OSX, I still have an old PC. So, are there any emulators for linux or win xp that despite lacking more advanced features have at least the bare minimum to get started?

Qix, Pengo, and basically most classic games where one level looks more or less like the previous one. Maybe I'm biased, but for me speedruns are for platformers, and anything that is too far from being one, doesn't quite arouse my interest.

More to the point, there does not exist an emulator for the early Atari consoles with features comparable to those found in the emulators used to make the movies here.
oh, I understand, that's a pity

I was searching for a TAS of H.E.R.O. but couldn't find it, then I noticed there isn't an Atari section at all on tasvideos... Could someone point me out to a TAS of that game if there is any hidden somewhere? Is there a specific reason for not having an Atari section, or it is simply lack of intrest? Would it be possible for a total newb to do something like that, or the tools are missing too?
