No. You get a confirmation when your video has been confirmed entry into the contest. Since it's got an "invalid entry" flag and goes straight to overflow, consider this your confirmation. Yes I have it, yes I tested it. Thanks for playing :)

Thanks for the confirmation Vic. I'd been wondering if there were any overlooked problems with mine. Glad to know it was all right. Hope you found it funny.

Hey VicBond:

Uhh, this is kinda embarrassing, but some time after I submitted my video, I realized there was a DivX watermark in the corner, and for the life of me, I can't get rid of it. Will this be a problem?

PS: If it is, I have no qualms with you letterboxing it out. Or hell, if I can get my damn computer working right, I'll do it.

*Kicks self*. :oops:

Find the DivX group in your Start Menu, open up the configuration, find the option that says "disable logo" or whatever, and check it. Re-open WMM (I assume, because it's the only video editor I know to have this problem) and the watermarks should be gone.

... Unless they were actually hardcoded into your files.

Oh, good. This means no more running out of the AMVers luncheon early to catch a scheduled overflow screening. ^_^

It's the only one I had access to before this contest. But no, they were not hardcoded. *Sigh.* I just have to re-render it. :oops:

Thank you for the help, BTW!

Would it likely be based on when you submitted it? If you submitted it earlier, you'd be in the earlier showings, or later you'd be in the later showings, etc.

Guesses, guesses...200?

As for the overflow screenings, it's cool that they work it out that way. :)

lmao. I'm guessing like about 300 - 400 or somewhere inbetween.

I have a question... anyone planning on going? I can't go due to only my limit of one con a year. (I'm going to AX already)
