Brand new con, guess who's a first year guest of honor!

This forum is for the announcement and discussion of anime conventions, and for the exchanging of rides to, and rooms at, conventions.

I think you're taking it just a <B>*tad*</B> too far, here, bordering on pure rudeness.

It's not that people are <B>*complaining*</B> that they can't export to VHS; it's that people are simply <B>*noting*</B> that it's becoming more and more of a trend that VHS is simply being eliminated from the "must-have" set of hardware AMV editors choose to have.

Like Hsien and others have said, more and more people are just doing everything straight digital these days (rip the DVDs, edit them digitally on the computer, export a final version there, and encode to MPEG-2). <B>For the vast majority of conventions</B>, this is MORE than enough (nevermind usually the preferred submission format).

That's all ^^

hey hey now everyone, calm down :shock:

We are currently working out details on how to accept digital submissions!

But it's hard to say exactly right now cause we're not sure what equipment we will have access to.

We're trying to get this resolved as quickly as possible ^_^

Point taken.
But nine times out of ten there are local authorities that can do this for a very small fee (about the same price as a single VHS tape at Wal~mart.) A friend may even have the necessary hardware. You know enough people here, there has to be someone you trust enough to do a good Digi-VHS conversion.

Though I do agree; in the age in which we live it is asinine for a convention not to have some semblance of digital submission.

:shock: you guys sure talk a lot. i'm going to animedetour! XD it's the only one that's really around where i live that i could go to. living in wisconsin is hard when you're a die hard anime fan.

i would make amv's, but i can't even do that because i don't have the right programs or anything. i mean, i listen to songs and their lyrics, and i can just automatically put an anime series with it and in my head say that clip could go there, that scene there, but i can't because i don't have the right programs! :x i think it's cool that i can just do it without thinking about it, but it does me no good in the long run.
