Mission: Impossible? Or just improbable?

Oh forgot to mention this, Im willing to host the video when its done, just give me the very big Xvid or DivX or whatever version of it. and once this is finsihed, um this is just a suggetion but a DVD version (probably VCD tho or whatever) should be sent out to people who order it since dannywillsion said this was like a christmas present to the entire animemusicvideos.org community

Web distro would be nice. Hosting a 80+MB file seems like it would be a pain. I am thinking we also put the high-kwality XviD version on a CD and send it to the AMV distro center ^_^

Ok, apparently my hosting company doesn't cut me off or charge me extra for exceeding my bandwidth limits, so I'll host the 80 mb file for however long it needs to be hosted.

I know I'd love to get as high a quality copy of this as possible- maybe there could be a DVD-quality (or full-quality MPEG2 encode, if we're going to use 640x480) encode available as well?

Well, im here to host so just ask na dill host, and Id love to get my hands on a Mpeg2 Version of the video, that would so kick ass 8)

uhh.. another explanation:
DVD is 720x480 because they are meant to be viewed on a TV. Since pixels on a TV are not square like a computer monitor but taller than they are wide (10:11) the resolution of 704(+16 overscan borders)x480 is true 4:3. Of course, when the pixels are square true 4:3 is 640x480. However, Firestorm's idea is a good one for the reasons of:
1. if we put the thing on DVD it will be full res and wont have to be upsampled from 640 to 720
2. its a higher resolution.
3. less avisynth processing
The complete project could always be resized to 640x480 for web encoding.
Anyway, its too late now, just a lesson for the future. Its no big deal though.

Super >_< OMG that makes sense. Well I was still correct, I just didn't have the right idea :p

Okay now I know video boy Radical...

I was thinking over this and I decided against doing anything that required ALOT of work. Quick and easy. Especially with the short deadline and notice on this project. I don't think it would be fun to find out, that twelve people didn't edit @ 23.976 properly, or they cropped the edges off their video, or something whack like that.

Who the hell is going to burn this DVD? Do any of you have a DVD-burner, and media @ $5 a pop is pricey. We could still do a SVCD MPEG2 and not lose really any kwality since it'd be down sampled to 480x480. ^_^ What do you think of dem apples? Of course well we area going @ straight 24fps, so that may not conform with SVCD spec

Ok, I just got back from a trip to Chicago, and I'll start after Thanksgiving break. I already have some idea of what I want to do (I'm SO glad I got my first choice!!), so hopefully it won't take long. Hardest part will be making my clips 23.976 FPS (

klinky · Post by **klinky** » Tue Nov 26, 2002 7:04 pm

NO NO NO NO NO!

KEEP THEM PURE 24FPS, I thought I just explained that ten zillion times :O

DO NOT CHANGE THE FRAME RATE FROM 24FPS.

Keep them at 24fps.. :O

DO NOT SPEED UP THE AUDIO
DO NOT ADJUST THE FRAME RATE
EXPORT @ 24FPS.
EVEN IF YOUR SOURCE IS 23.976
