Good to hear from ya. No need to write a full review if there's no time - I'd rather hear those few spur-of-the-moment comments that you can jot down in those few spare moments.

So what do you mean by "footage stretching?" I am 99.999999% certain that everything is in the correct aspect ratio...

Yey!
In general news, I didn't get around to fixing the volume levels in those commentaries over the long weekend (holiday shopping = good; "driver improvement clinic" = somebody shoot me PLEASE).
However, I did manage to get a copy of the first Princess Tutu DVD, so I spent some time remastering the Tutu footage in our intro. The difference is pretty noticeable, at least to me.

I also switched out a clip and replaced it with some new ones. Ask me on AIM if you're interested in seeing the revised intro. (The difference isn't too drastic.)
In other news... I've realized that this whole delay must've been my fault - at Otakon this summer, I had jokingly suggested to Bakadeshi and dwp that Animasia probably wont be done until Christmas this year.

Oh heck, we might as well. I'm marking Christmas as our
absolute latest release date. Which gives us only about four weeks. So guys,
be on the lookout for betas! And
please download them with all due speed. With such a tight schedule now, I'm going to have to plow ahead with things even if some of you don't have much free time for commenting. So if you guys want your voices heard, speak up [quickly]!
What'll happen now:
1. Bakadeshi finishes all fullscreen commentaries. (Soon? Pretty please?)
2. Bakadeshi releases out a beta containing just the fullscreen commentaries.
3. Editors with videos in fullscreen check the beta for possible glitches and/or make comments.
4. Bakadeshi transfers all the fullscreen commentaries (640x480 Lagarith YV12, PCM WAV) to me.
5. I join all the fullscreen files together and encode.
6. I upload the file to Kalium's server and invite everybody to approve it.
7. If there is nothing major gone awry and three other editors approve, then I'll consider the project completed.
8. Oto writes the video comments with help from others
9. I enter and upload the video.
Sound straightforward enough?
