Down boy, not everyone's gotten 'em yet. Second email batch (of 3) just went out so it shouldn't be too much longer.

But, now that the cat's out of the bag, a few announcements:

1) There are hentai entries. That's why we have and require the "are you 18" forms. Don't be surprised when they jump out and bite you.
2) Navigation on the second disc is a little weird. There are 50 videos total, but you may only see through 36 on the menu at first. Select "Return to main" where you should be able to select the standard or the remaining wide aspect videos. Stupid DVD limitations on mixed aspect ratios on one disc...
3) Yes, it returns you to the first element of the menu when returning from selecting a single video from the menu. Sorry. You'll live.
4) There is a video edited to the Japanese and English versions of the same song. The video is essentially identical between the two, and as such will only appear once on the final judging list to prevent diluting any possible votes between the two versions.

Beyond that, I think I caught most of the video issues. If your video doesn't look quite right, fire me an email.

Are you watching it with VLC? It seems to jump in 8-10 seconds into the video following a bumper. No clue why. Everything else I've tried it with hasn't had that problem (RCA player, PS2, Media Player Classic, piece of junk portable player, etc).

Good job discmakers. You've maintained your tradition of keeping disc 2 the best disc in every Pro contest since 2006. Excellent work.

In other news, when should I expect my discs to arrive in the mail?
