Hello :) I've run into a strange problem and would like help figuring out what's going on. For some reason I am no longer able to edit movies--Bizhawk behaves as though read-only is on, regardless of whether it actually *is* on. This is a copy of Biz I'm used extensively, I didn't change any setting that I'm aware of. I was making a movie and decided I wanted to manually modify it--I stopped the movie, opened the input log and deleted the input lines I wanted to remove, then played the movie with read only off. A bit later I right clicked and noticed there was no option to "Stop Movie Without Saving", a telltale sign that read-only was set to on. I doubled checked and it was, in fact, off. I toggled it to on, right clicked--same situation. I toggled it back to off, right clicked--same situation. I stopped and played the movie just to be sure it was in fact no being updated and yep, the movie wasn't being modified. I tried closing and opening Biz--No difference. I tried different games and found that now all of them behave this same way--No movie can be modified regardless of whether read-only is on or off. I'm currently troubleshooting miscellaneous things and will update if I solve the problem but I figured I'd drop a line while I'm doing so to see if anyone else has any ideas. Thank ya :) -------------------------- Edit: I started a new movie and it records just fine. Just the first recording session, though--After it's been stopped once it loses the ability to be modified again like the rest. Strange :o

Did you try loading a savestate while read-only was off?

Interesting! That fixes it but only in that specific instance. Okay, so, question: Is it possible to add to a movie by playing it with read-only off and simply pressing buttons after the final input? Or is it a requirement to load a state in order to trigger things?

File > Movie > On Movie End > Switch to Record should definitely work but I thought just having it on read + write would also work.

Yeah, I kinda thought I'd done it this way before but I guess not! Hmm! Ah well, now I know what to do! Thank you much! :)
