Well thankfully a lot of creators run by the idea that the contest rules don't change much, if at all and I think AX knows that at least. Hopefully we'll see some rules soon. . .hopefully. . .

I sent the coordinators an email asking if any rule changes have been made, and they said, it's pretty much all the same, except for a few wording changes. I couldn't get a deadline for submissions, but they said expect the usual deadline in May.

I haven't sent to the AX contest since 2003 so I got a question to anyone who's recently sent in a digital submission.

Do you send an mpeg2 file or an authored dvd with the video on it?

probably better off sending it as huffyuv (if they'll except it...). a 4-5min video should onyl take about 1-2gigs on the dvd.

I send HuffyUV copies on DVDs but if the file is too large (my Beserk AMV from last year had no chance of fitting on a disk alone) I go with MPeg2s.

Well, I'll send a dvd with the huffy and mpeg 2 and maybe another dvd for just general playing.

Always good to play it safe. :wink:

not really... i'm sending both my fanime entries on one dvd-r with both huffyuv and mpeg2 version of em... and there is still room! hehe... i guess it depends on how compressable your videos are and both videos are 16:9 so less data per frame.
