Hello, I'm new and having problems recording longer TAS projects, so I have two questions. Is it normal for Bizhawk / TAStudio to start lagging when recording over 100,000 frames / 5 hours? And is it possible two TASPROJ. / BK2 from the same game and divided into sections to be put together via the input log? Sorry for my English - I use a translator.

It's possible BizHawk is running low on memory for longer TASes, you can try turning down the buffer settings in TAStudio under metadata -> savestate history settings. You can patch together segments by stopping a current movie, and recording a new one using the Record from: 'now' setting in the movie recording dialog. From there you can use TAStudio again and later just copy paste the input logs together.
