I've been trying to import the Ecco The Dolphin GMVs for the TAS runs into BizHawk's format - they are in GENS's GMV format. The "Import movies" option does create a .bk2 file, but opening it and trying to play it as a movie gives a warning about no core being specified, and then BizHawk seems to do nothing. I tried opening the .bk2 and modifying the Header.txt to add the same Core entry as an existing movie for the game, and that either made BizHawk throw a fatal exception (for one movie) or apparently work (for the other movies), but go out of sync (Ecco took a bunch of damage / hits walls, it's obviously not the correct playback). Is there any way to reliably convert GMVs to BizHawk format?

Different emulators have different levels of accuracy, usually resulting in different lag or maybe different RNG. Importing a movie has no guarantee on sync, it just gives you a movie file which can then be manually resynced.
