Music Video – May be composed of clips from anime or other Asian-Pacific animation (Wonderful Days, Bleach), Asian-Pacific-based live action series or movies (Monsoon Wedding, Hero), Asian-Pacific-based video games (Final Fantasy, Ragnarok Online), or Asian-Pacific-inspired series (Avatar, Juniper Lee, Harold and Kumar, Killer Instinct). Each music video should be no longer than seven (7) minutes in run time.

Original Film – Original works created by the submitter(s), animated or live action.

if they're going to convert it to DVD anyway, why not just set it up under NTSC specs.
