So is pwolf vs. me a possibility for the iron chef matchup? I'm pretty sure that I can swing it :O

Question:
Will you accept 10-bit MP4s? They’re much better quality!

Due to that fact that no source AMV editors work with is actually 10bit...I don't see why anyone should even ask. I can understand for an upload to the org or something, as it allows you to save more space...but considering the source material is 8bit to begin with...they could just jack the bitrate up if you are concerned about quality.xstylus wrote:Addition made to the FAQ:

Re: Anime Expo 2013 AMV Competition - DEADLINE: MAY 4th
I was researching some info regarding optimal settings for MP4 encoding for anime and I ran across a few conversations on a fansub forum. 10-bit encodes seem to be the fad among that community, and some were aggressively swearing by it as far superior even though the source is only 8-bit. Since a lot of encoding wisdom for fansubbing is directly relevant to AMVs, I figured that 10-bit encoding might become a thing here as well, which would suck. 10-bit files are a pain to work with and have a lot of negative tradeoffs (only plays in specific players, looks scrambled in CS6, no hardware acceleration support, no set-top box can play them). All for what is, to me, only a miniscule quality/space improvement.l33tmeatwad wrote:Due to that fact that no source AMV editors work with is actually 10bit...I don't see why anyone should even ask.

If push came to shove, I could always just transcode a 10-bit submission to Ut or ProRes, but I figured I'd just save myself some trouble.

I thought you were using AMVPlayer for playback since they gave you some sort of crap about needing BRD license fees or something?
