I'm new to speedrunning and do not have video capture equipment yet. I completed a 70 star run and it took about three and a half hours. I am unable to upload my time, but I see that other people have posted more impressive times without a video. I would appreciate any help I can get.

What do you mean you are unable to upload your time?

If the mods are rejecting it for no video then unfortunately your only option is to get a video before submitting. I have no idea if SM64 requires video, but it looks like the only 70 star runs without video are ones from many years ago. This website didn't exist in its current form years ago so for runs that are 2+ years old, they were probably approved on an older website and based on older rules. They were just ported over here when this website came to be and since they are legacy runs that were verified at one time, they weren't removed or anything.

If you have any more questions about why your run was rejected, I'd recommend asking the game's moderators or asking in the SM64 forums.

Thank you very much for your help.
