Have you seen any entries using the newer HD CG style of anime like, "The World God Only Knows" or "Kore wa Zombie desu ka?"

Just curious.

I would love to see an AMV from this new style on the big screens at Otakon.

HD or not, I still downsample everything to 480i/p. Which I think is a little bit more honest than Funimation UPsampling everything to 1080p. Yeah, I went there.

When someone invents a dedicated HD .h264 HARDWARE decoder card that also can output a true, line-matched 480i NTSC signal, I will consider running things HD native.

Bonus "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" Moment: A small portion of the Otakon 2009 contest on Friday was run off an SVHS tape because of a computer lockup. With the right equipment, nobody notices.

Wow. I was there... totally didn't notice the difference

I do kinda remember there being a break between one of the categories... was that when it happened?

Wasn't 2009 the year of the blue screen of death?

I think that was 2005. It's impossible for my system to even show a BSOD on screen since the only data being sent to the projector is mpeg2 data. When I crash on my end, you'd still just see black.

I think the Saturday morning AUSA contest screening from last November was a SVHS source as well. Really, you can't tell the difference unless you're in the know.

@vic - I assume if a video is submitted as "undecided" then you decide which category it will go in?

That is correct. Also, if a majority of the pre-screening judges decide that a video would do better in a different category, it will get moved regardless of what category it was submitted to.

My internets were down this morning. It was fixed around 12:45. Hooray for summer and oversaturated cable nodes.
