Thanks for the explanation, but doesnt make sense to me. The sense of a replay, if it is a good one (good time), is, to upload it on TMX. For example if you drove a RPG map, you save it, quit the replay and then watch it again from the replay folder, the 1st half of the replay is covered by text blocks and strange cameraperspectives, and you dont see the car and the driving. So you technically HAVE TO edit the replay to delete the text blocks and to setup another cameraperspective, so that the whole driving can be seen.
This problem didnt exist in TM Nations. There you were able to edit the replay (and save it), and it was possible to validate nevertheless....
