Funny... have copies of all the AWA amv contests around here.... and they're all on VHS. Along with all the C-ko and Corn Pone vids.

And they wonder why I don't throw out my VCR... ^^

That's what the Proxy account is for. If you have a digital version, contact an admin.

People can actually still use that?

No, that's where the "contacting an admin" part comes in.

There are 155 proxy videos? Wow. Didn't it used to be just Kevin Cadwells work?

Anyways, never lose hope because every once in a while an old creator will show up again and realize that there is now free hosting for videos. Some of them even re-master (wink). Most of the time any contact information is out of date but you could always give it a shot if you really love the video.

I don't know about other people but it always gives me a good feeling to see an old familiar face. Gives me hope that we are not completly dominated by angsty middle-school punks. (Sarcasm... I hope.

That is exactly what the AMV convention Archive is... It's a collection of music videos in high quality Mpeg2 for playing at events at Cons... And it does contain all the above classics....

Excuse my ignorance, but is the AMV convention Archive available to the general public? Is it online? Is it somewhere on this site? Thanks!

So, does that mean that I can find Bobby "C-Ko" Beaver's or Marc Hairston's videos somewhere on this site? If not, what would it take to get some of those videos posted here?

Maybe us old-timers can chip in to pay for some of the extra bandwidth required to host those files. I'll toss in $100 if it'll help to get high quality mpegs of the classics here.
