I got a 1:11:41 any% PB that I want to submit, but for about 6 minutes straight, my bitrate just completely crapped out and the video is basically unwatchable. The audio is completely fine, and it's clear that there's something happening with the run visually, but it's just impossible to tell what's happening. Is it still potentially viable to submit?

I'd submit it anyway, it's worth trying.

That's what I'm thinking. I was just curious to see if it's worth submitting so I don't waste the mods' time. Lol

I think as long as you can see and hear the game clearly it should be fine.

Unfortunately, that's the problem. The game can't really be seen for those 6 minutes. It's clear that there's movement but it's basically just a sound recording for 6 minutes.

Uhhhh correction: within those 6 minutes, the video very briefly comes back a few times. It's extremely short parts, though.

If you can somehow make up the coin count or you can tell you’re collecting coins and the coin count before the bitrate issue and after the issue makes sense then it might have a chance, also if you collected a story moon and you can make out the date then it might have a chance. But ofc I’m not a mod so don’t take what I say as a final statement.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks.
