Just to clarify, when you load your movie in read-write mode and load your state, if you click File -> Movie, is the lock icon on 'Read Only' highlighted, or un-highlighted? If it is highlighted, then your movie is still in read-only mode and un-checking it (Q by default) should toggle that state.
Further, BizHawk will display, "Movie read+write mode" if you can now continue to write your movie, or "Movie read-only mode" if you cannot.
In the tab that says "Read-Only" with the Hotkey as Q, that's unchecked. When I press play movie and highlight my TAS, Read-Only is unchecked.
But I haven't checked while it's already loaded. I'll do that.
I swear if that's my solution I'm seriously just gonna not do much probably
Thanks guys. I'll also go to the IRC channel next time I have a problem which'll be likely because I'm new to this whole TAS thing.
I tased Super Mario Bros once and that was fun but that's easy so

So, I made a thread asking about how to continue from where you left off after recording a TAS session in BizHawk's Mupen64Plus, and I was told by this fine gentleman:

Load a movie in Read+Write mode (uncheck the read only box in the Play Movie dialog) and load a savestate. You will resume recording from the savestate.
So I tried it. It doesn't work, though I'm convinced that it will work, I'm just missing something. And something tells me that given the inactivity of this forum, I'm not gonna get a second opinion anytime soon, so it's probably more efficient to just make another topic.
Anyway, I'll explain-like-you're-five my exact process in the movie.
I pressed "record movie". I named it "Zelda OoT Tas". From "Power On." I went on, I got to the part where Saria was talking to you, and just to test, I saved a state.
I paused the emulator. I pressed stop movie.
I closed the emulator. I reopened it.
I booted up Zelda OoT, and loaded the movie in READ-WRITE MODE. I pressed load from my savestate and unpaused the emulator, and continued TASing. Based on what he told me, my TAS should technically be recording until my last save state before I stop, right? Well, long story short, after about 30 minutes of getting to the Deku Tree and saving my state, I stopped, reopened, and played the movie.
Stuck on Saria. Teenager groan.

Thanks a whole lot man. I'm just gonna go work on my TAS now
thanks man. If you want, I can credit you when I put the video up
UPDATE: So, I redid the TAS, and I ended where Saria is talking to Link at the start of the game. Then, I pressed "Stop movie", "play movie", played it in Read+Write, kept playing, did a savestate, stopped and replayed movie again... and I'm still stuck on Saria as if nothing happened.
nobody told me tasing would be this teenager-groan inducing

Not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm doing it on BizHawk. Whatever the newest version at the time of me posting this is, because I just started yesterday. Anyway, I recorded a movie, and stopped at a certain point in the game (Deku Tree if you must know) and want to know how to reload this TAS later in time to continue it.
And the first time I tried it it desynced. (it was fine later) Any way to recover that movie when it desynced?
