There's no telling if they have Huffyuv or MPEG-2. If you can get info that they have these codecs from their message board or forums, go right ahead. 640x480 seems to be the best size for bigscreen projection, but if you can't go out of 320x240 thats ok too. Most big screens and tv's will blur the image slightly so it doesnt look as grainy/blocky. On the audio side of the things, its best to keep uncompressed and unmodified audio in your amv, unless your track is very quiet THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH. If the track is loud then quiet, then loud again, you've got a problem, mainly because the techies will turn it up, and then when it gets loud again, they risk damaging the speakers.
I hope this was of some help.

What size/kind of screen will the videos be played on? how loud will the speakers be turn up? will the videos be play from a cd or VHS tape? (obviously i've never been to an amv contest at a con.) any tips and helpful information would be good for the guide too.
