Anime Central 2009 AMV Contest Rules & Submission Guidelines

[ngsilver]

One final reminder that Entry submissions will close in little over 1 hour, as well as FTP requests. You still have 25 more hours to submit the video via FTP.

psst, need to re-upload |:

[outlawed]

Another decent batch of the recent uploads is processed. Please got the contest site and check your status. If you are flagged with DQ you will need to re-submit; contact me with any questions. Once the automatic FTP request option closes (you no longer see the request ftp button) you will have to e-mail acen@ngsilver.com with your video's entry # and tell him you need an FTP account for a re-submission.

Some videos are not flagged as DQ but the problem found flag is set so you can see the comment box. I may have turned that on because I noticed something I wanted to ask you or let you know about. Please contact me directly to discuss it and then I'll turn off the problem flag.

DQ entries from this point have a VERY short window to get us a fixed video or contact me.

The file name you guys requested has ' : ' in it. This is invalid in a file name for XP.

So instead of:
116_-_Noor_Ata_-_Advent_Crisis_-_The_Matrix:_Reloaded_-_Theatrical_Trailer_-_Final_Fantasy_VII:_Advent_Children_-_Crisis_Core:_Final_Fantasy_VII_-_none

my file name is:
116_-_Noor_Ata_-_Advent_Crisis_-_The_Matrix:_Reloaded_-_Theatrical_Trailer_-_Final_Fantasy_VII_Advent_Children_-_Crisis_Core_Final_Fantasy_VII_-_none

Is it just going to process slower or should I try to rename it in the directory when it finishes uploading?

[Kitsuner]

my file name is:
116_-_Noor_Ata_-_Advent_Crisis_-_The_Matrix:_Reloaded_-_Theatrical_Trailer_-_Final_Fantasy_VII_Advent_Children_-_Crisis_Core_Final_Fantasy_VII_-_none

You left a colon in there.

The FTP is getting hammered anything uploaded yesterday has not even been downloaded by me yet. I'll be processing a lot more tonight.

The system automatically generates the name based on what you put in the entry fields. This helps save us all time. If there is a character like ":" that is illegal for filenaming purposes then just remove that character. That will not slow down processing or checking of your video.

For those still seeing the Un-viewed status all this means is that no one has gotten to your video to update it's status yet. Often I go through and change the status to entry form received after I have viewed it. However I have been busy between moving/unpacking and making sure FTP requests go out as quickly as possible, and just haven't had the extra time to change that status for you. However rest assured as long as you can even see your status that the entry form is in the database and the information is available for us to work with. As for Video received and Video checked, that will all depend on how quickly Outlawed can get the videos off of the server after you close the account. I do a quick check of all videos before I OK them to be moved off the server and close the account, so if there was a problem with your video I would notify you. Basically, just like in Linux/Unix, no contact is a good thing.
