Omigosh... It's been too long since I've posted...
3. Entries may only be submitted on the following traditional media or computer formats.
(Standard NTSC format required):
Acceptable Tape Media Formats (SP speed only): Mini-DV, S-VHS, VHS
Acceptable Authored Media Formats: DVD±R/RW, S-VCD
Acceptable Digital Media Formats: Video Codecs (in order of preference): HuffYUV,
Uncompressed, DV, MPEG-4 (Xvid/DivX), MPEG-2, MPEG-1; Audio Codecs (in order of
preference): PCM, Fixed Bitrate MP3 or MP2; For other codecs, please email your
request to
amv@sakuracon.org.
What this means is that if you wish to submit your AMV on videotape, it must be on Mini-DV, S-VHS, or VHS. (Yes, I do have a Betamax deck, but I don't know if it still works...)
If you wish to submit your AMV in an authored format (example, DVD with full menus and such), it must be on DVD±R/RW or S-VCD (no VCD this year).
If you want to take your digital file (of one of the above formats) and send it to me in any way possible (except DLTs please, unless you include the drive), I will accept it...
I didn't feel like I needed to specify floppy, Zip, Jaz, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, carrier pigeon, etc...
This year I'm a lot more flexible than last year, and for the record, the show will be compiled as a MPEG-4 video (PCM audio) and output on a Sigma Designs X-Card. The backup will be on DVD-R (one for each category).
Also, since I just got done with some extremely major family business, I will finally be able to get the submission form posted to the Sakura-Con website ASAP. It's going to be an extremely simple email form and hopefully I'll be able to accept FTP submissions by the end of the month!
Thanks guys for your patience and my appologies for not posting this sooner.
