How do you expect to enforce those rules?
- no cheating blablablabla
What exactly constitutes "cheating" in this context (especially assuming that the entries would be emulator keypress files; it's difficult to "cheat" to create them)?

These movies will be starting from a savestate from the looks of it. There is plenty of room for cheating there. For an extravagant example, see Kejardon's "proof" of the green chozo room in Super Metroid, where he hacks the smv savestate gain control over the game loop, after which he can do anything.

Well, don't allow starting from a savestate then. Sounds pretty simple to me.
