You guys are allowed to start new threads rather than digging up old ones.![]()
If it's like last year, CArnesen will be compiling the entire contest set on a DV tape that will be played for the exhibition. It's not a case where each video is played separately by putting a tape/DVD/CDR into a player. Only the tape is played from start to finish. More up-front work for him, but things run a lot smoother that way.

Have you given any thought to playing hi-res AVI files (DV or HuffYUV) instead of MPEG2? Now that DVD writers and media are inexpensive - and getting cheaper - it is easier for creators to send high-quality files.
I know MCIPlay only does MPEG files, but maybe Zoom Player could substitute. I don't know if Zoom Player drives the Netstream card, though.

All I know is that in the rules it says this:
Acceptable Authored Media Formats: DVD±R/RW, S-VCD
So I would assume CD-Rs and CD-RWs are not accepted.
