Hello, I've just tried submitting a TAS Demo and have encountered an error. It's a TAS for Doom, and the demo format is mydemo.lmp, but when submitting a zipped Doom demo, I am told: "The given ZIP file does not contain a valid movie file, or contains too many files". The zipped upload contains no other files and I have made sure that the .lmp extension is correctly named. The .lmp file format is specifically mentioned as being acceptable in the Movie Rules section. I have tried both .lmp and .LMP. Can someone please tell me, what am I doing wrong and what can I do to fix it?

We've solved the issue! Apparently, LMP submissions can't have dashes in the filename.
