You already posted Doom 2 map 01 nomo100 in 0:27.60. Please do not post the same demo twice.

Ok, I forgot I already posted that.

Hi, please do not load additional WADs for recording demos for DSDA (e.g., pk_doom_sfx_20120224.wad, that is not allowed). Not sure what wtf-mus.wad is either, I guess it's just music, which would be fine, but changing the sfx is not allowed.

Reattempted with a better time and to comply with the rules.

Hi, you need a textfile for submissions to DSDA, in a format such as the following :

PWAD: something.wad
PWAD Name: Name
Map: ##
Skill: 4
Category: UV-Max
Exe: DSDA-Doom #.##.# complevel ##
Recorded on: Date
Time: #:##
Author: player_name
Description:

Also, I suggest not using spaces in your filenames, instead use dashes or underscores. Finally, you used -complevel 1 for this demo, that complevel should basically never be used. Doom 1 should use -complevel 3, Doom 2 -complevel 2, and Final Doom -complevel 4, generally speaking.

A few things:

I suggest updating to DSDA-Doom. PrBoom+ is highly discouraged for speedrunning at this point. The latest DSDA-Doom is available here: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/136143-dsda-doom-v0262-udmf-2023-06-04/.
Please do not include an mp4 of your demo in the zip file. It bloats the file size too much, and anyone downloading your demo can easily watch it in a source port anyway.
Please pass a complevel when running demos. You should run in -complevel 2 for Doom 2, 3 for Doom 1, and 4 for Final Doom IWADs/PWADs. Some other PWADs have other complevels; if you ever choose to run them, usually the best way to check is either the WAD textfile, similar demos on DSDA, or asking around. As it is, your demos are incompatible and invalid (could be uploaded to Other only).
Please provide a more standard textfile. Something like the following is best:

PWAD: something.wad
PWAD Name: Name
Map: ##
Skill: 4
Category: UV-Max
Exe: DSDA-Doom #.##.# complevel ##
Recorded on: Date
Time: #:##
Author: player_name
Description:

Not strictly required, but naming your demos based on established naming conventions is appreciated. Typically, demos are named with a WAD key, map number, category key, and time. For Doom 2 map 1, that would look something like lv01p006 (lv is Doom 2 key, 01 is map 1, p is pacifist, 006 is 0:06). For other WADs and categories, DSDA will be your best bet for determining the appropriate keys.

Much of the above info is in the welcome thread, I highly suggest reading that in full before posting any further demos: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/130670-welcome-to-the-speed-demos-forum-getting-started-port-usage-info-co-op-etc/.

Hey, btw, you should use -complevel 3 for Doom 1 demos instead of 2, as 2 is intended for Doom 2. It doesn't matter a ton because the behavior is similar, so it won't affect this run, but something to keep in mind in the future.
