Say if I have a source that I'm editing with, but it looks great in 848x480, Your just asking to upscale it to 1280x720. That wont look pretty. But hey if you want it in that resolution..fine I'll upscale my video for you.

You don't have to. You can submit it as is - it'll look like you put an AddBorders(216, 120, 216, 120) in your post-processing script. You can also just do the AddBorders() yourself to see what it looks like.

Don't know what that is. I don't see how a 848x480 can't be full screen on a monitor.

Here's an example of how it would look: Image

I don't see how a 848x480 can't be full screen on a monitor.

Aside #1: It's not playing on a monitor. It's playing through a set of 4 (10,000 lumen last year) HD projectors.
Aside #2: Monitors have had full screen resolutions greater than that for over 20 years.
Aside #3: If the playback equipment were to play your 848x480 video full-screen through the HD projector, it would have to upscale it anyways - making it look just as bad (or worse) than you doing it yourself.

Real answer - if you want it to be full screen, you resize it. If you don't, don't.

Alright then I'll just re-size it. Somebody gave me a script thing so I should be able to upscale my video without losing that much quality. But thanks again for showing me this, I understand what you mean now.

I would suggest Re-sizing it regardless... If there is any audiance voting, it might not get as much votes when only filling half a screen (Yea, I know, that should not be like that, but that's the way it is)

Hi Everyone,

Since I have received several requests for a deadline extension, I have given it some thought and decided it only fair to extend that to everyone.

Consequently the deadline for submitting AMV's has been extended to March 17th at 11:59pm

Good Luck!

Might be better to ask here: http://forums.animeboston.com/showtopic.php?tid/12375/ I'm not so sure how often this thread is checked.
