good music ^__^

there were a few problems:
.. notice the interlacing problem when you fold the pictures from the upper right of the AMV ( you know where I'm talking about.
? at 1:32 .. who saw saying "who dewing" ? -- erase it!
? at 3:13 and 3:17, the swords were too loud!

.. MP42 is not a very good Codec for AMV's .. try reloading your project and save it to a non-lossy codec .. then use MeGUI to make the final encode.

.. 22k audio, no! Upgrade your Audio to 44k or 48k speeds @ 192 bit rate.

.. Your Audio has nothing to do with the size of your AMV; that was your choice of Video Codec's that made it 74meg final encode.

.. as far as entering a Contest, make these adjustments and you should be fine

on the Concept .. 5/5 .. if everything was corrected, 5/5

on the current presentation .. 2/5 -- 22k audio died with Windows 95 >_<

Not entirely true. If you fail to compress your audio... it can result in a file size about 2-3 times the size of the video file (hence why uncompressed WAV files are around 30-40mb in size added with about 30-40mb of video data)

He was talking about Libavcodec MPEG-4. MP4 is just the container for the codec like h.264. Same as AVI is for DivX and XviD just as an example.

That's funny because, believe it or not, I have made H264 AVIs... I guess I'm leet or something

I've found it very helpful. Why do you question it?
