Well...Apperently, according the the xpresspost reciept I have and entering the info online...I found out that my video is indeed already in the hands of acen. Now I just hope it is good enough to be played ^_^

EDIT: Although it appears that the entry form I printed out didn't have an e-mail address field. Guess I will have to fix that.

Sorry that was originally our fault, I have 3 other people look at it besides myself and all 4 of us didn't realize we had forgotten to put that field in, if you have mailed in your entry and didn't include an e-mail, send a message to outlawed at pobox.com and let him know which video was yours, I believe he said he had 2 vids that had no e-mails attached to them, and he's sending out confirmations when he gets them

The contest deadline has been extended to April 15. We must receive your entry and have it in our hands by then. There will be no further extensions. This deadline is firm and final no matter what.

Isn't it great that AMV contests aren't like real life in a way? No matter how little of your AMV is finished, the deadline will (almost) always be extended for you. I kinda wish the IRS was like that, to extend the deadline past April 15 sometimes.

I finished my ACen entry with the April 1 deadline in mind, and already sent in my entry. It's pretty sad that most of us are procrastinators in creating AMVs for contest.

Yeah I know, I really wish we did have the FTP, the reason we don't is due to the large cost involved in setting one up. Which means we'd probably have to go with a 3rd party. The reason we didn't try adn find something this year is primarily the result of Quu's retirement. I'm overloaded with stuff as it is with just getting the 24 hour room, Iron Chef, what we alreday have for the amv contest, add 30 hours a week for work, and 20 hours a week for classes and I have absolutely no time to do anything else. That's why I'm having Dan help me oout with a lot of the stuff. I decided to concentrate on the more pressing issues this year. Next year I'm going to try and find a way to get an ftp going for acen.

Have you or outlawed considered using the method that Fanime is using ? No FTP needed: http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=48760.

Yeah...I sent an e-mail already with my e-mail address as well as which video was mine. Hopefully that's good enough.

EDIT: I have a question about shown videos. Someone online said that a person would be notified about whether their video is going to be shown at the con...is that true?? The reason I am asking is cause I won't be able to attend, however a few friends are...but they don't want to go to the AMV contest unless they know my vid is going to be shown. >.>

I was just wondering if you do let people know ahead of time. If not...no big deal

doesn't usendit reserve the right to just not deal with gray area stuff like mpegs, avis, mp3s etc? I'm sure it's like Ebay, you can easily fool big brother (sell bootlegs etc.) but I wouldn't call that reliable... may be an option, but why not just get the file from the org or your own ftp if you can directly link it?

Some people don't know how to setup FTPs and some others want to wait til AFTER the video is shown to get it from the Org. And besides, 1 gb is more than enough for a good MPEG-2 encode. I've talked to Anamorphic about yousendit and she says it's pretty good.

My MPEG-2 is under 200 megs

I'm still debating whether to mail mine- or just drive over and hand it to him.
