Contest FAQ wrote:The FTP Process
---------------------------------
1. Enter your video information in the system
2. Go to the Entry Status Page and Click "Submit FTP Request"
3. Wait up to 3 days for an email containing your FTP account information
4. Upload your video
5. Return to the Entry Status Page and click "Close FTP Account"
6. Wait for further contact from the administration (if there is a problem) or check the status page for updates, such as your video being accepted.
7. Repeat steps 1-6 for each video you wish to send
What to do if you don't get an email within 3 days of sending your FTP Request
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Check your spam boxes and filter settings to see if the message was marked as spam
2. Verify that the email you provided the system is correct and still accurate
3. Go to the Entry Status Page and see if FTP info is listed for your video, if it is then simply use it
4. If you still don't see info then close your account and then open a new one (click close account, then click open account)
5. Wait another 3 days for info
6. If no info is sent to you or you don't see it listed in the entry status at this point, finally send an email to: acen [AT] ngsilver [DOT] com or submit an administration error request in the system.

-----------------------------------------------
The majority of the tech problems we see with submissions are the result of poor Quality Control. Do not create extra work for yourself. Just because your file plays in your media player do not assume you have formatted it properly. Always double check your file and compare the output you encoded. If you burned a disc don't assume a verify pass means its good. You must play back the file and watch it all the way through.
A program like http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en is useful for checking your file's formatting from its header but you should still always watch the entire video through to see if there are problems. Programs like this can often report things slightly different from playback so it still does not hurt to triple check and use another program to check and see how the file is actually being decoded.
I use both the program listed in the FAQ above as well as GSpot in order to check the settings of a video, as well as watch it all the way through, before it passes the first QC check and the video is received.
