Dude I literally told you what you have to do for lots of PC runs. You go back over the video and discount the loading times (from the frame you lose control to the frame you regain it). That's the solution to your predicament. For comparing to PS4 runs you can just figure out a loading time offset. Assuming each system loads consistently (which is a fairly safe bet) you can do the same thing for each platform it releases on.

Pretty much what I thought. I plan on moving to PC after I get my 1:06 on PS4.
Also in regards to RTA and IGT, I think regardless people need to be timing there runs in real time. Only because people can go back after their run and select the chapters they did wrong and improve the time. Which will improve the overall time on the leader boards and the save file it self. I think if people keep track of their RTA time it will help in the long run for converting the times to console.
Lastly when we should start the timer, while SDA says to start it the first frame you can move, I think starting it at the configuration screen is best, only because skipping cut scenes is a big factor in the run. For example after Paramonia I skip the cut scene then split. In my eyes you're not technically done with the level until the load screen pops up and shows the name of the next stage. Since you have to skip a cut scene in the very beginning, I think we should start at the configuration screen.
Also Hi I'm Starwin, glad to see a discussion about this stuff.
