Why don't you throw me into that little mix while your at it

Because I didn't know you were in the contest ^_^. I just want to wish everybody who's joining good luck, it doesn't matter who you are it's what you made that matters.

I don't think I'll make it. My video still has a good many hours of work ahead of it and I don't want to rush it. I might submit an older video of mine I've done nothing with as of current but I know my current project won't be there.

Damn...=(...Well..Thanks for trying Wired Knight...I'd still love to have some submissions from you though...=D

Well... http://www.animemusicvideos.org/legacy/ ... hp?v=11163 . . . there is that piece of junk I made. By far not my greatest work but it's an amusing watch for ad a half. Worse comes to worse I'll submit that and possibly my blue sub video. I wish I could get the trigun video I'm working on done in time but it's just not in the cards.

Remember, if you need to send in a video, you can always go through me
assuming you catch me online

btw the people, i just got the final document that says the auditorium for the contest is ours, so we have the place, we just need your vids.

I haven't deleted the project files for my AMV yet, so I can still whip out a bumper & credit free version.

My question is whether you need deinterlaced footage.

Using techniques I'm already familiar with, I can send a full 720x480 interlaced mpeg2 version, or a 352x240 mpeg1 version using 2:1 reduction, ala ErMaC's guide.

Deinterlaced DVD res is a bit dodgy, as I haven't yet familiarized myself with the Vdub filters & settings needed to do it properly yet.

If you really don't care about interlacing or bumpers, I can toss a 309 meg interlaced version with bumper & credits up immediately upon receiving a go-ahead.

Please tell me what works best for you, and I'll try to meet that spec.

It's your choice really....I've tested some of the files we have received for display and 352 looks fine...I haven't tested the 720 by 480 stuff we got but those must look NICE...=D...Also the bumpers and stuff isn't really a big deal..Cause once someone makes it to the finals I have to implement a CSUN logo and creator information into the video...Before it plays of course...And afterwards...Plus creator a 20-30 second preview for each video...So no matter what I have to edit them...But if the credits/bumper intersect with the video it would be best to edit them out....
