talk about AWA pro disks

Yeah that's what I always liked about AWA's pro contest. As for my favorites it has to be a toss up between the One Piece Pirate AMV or Bit Part Demon. Both of those are great amvs.

A constant pet peeve of a number of us when observing contests is that when you have set categories that have to be adhered to, you have two problems that can crop up: first, there has to be a video that wins that category even if nothing really fits (or nothing is really that good in that category), and second there are always videos that don't fit the typical pre-defined categories well and as such may not win despite being far better overall.

Pro's totally fluid category system was in part designed to counter these- if there aren't enough comedy videos for a comedy category, viola! No comedy category. Several excellent comedic ero-horror videos? Create a category for it. It's not perfect of course- but its unique and overall has worked fairly well through the years (at least those that I've seen).

Anybody know why some of the categories are bolded? (I should be voting soon)

Walking on Sunshine made me think of Mj

Though all inherently wrong hentai videos make me think of MJ

We can all thank HAMV Hell for that.

Bolded categories are pre-entered as the 'cookie cutter' categories that one can almost always expect. They're gonna end up on that list eventually, so we go ahead and toss them up there to kick things off. They also serve as an example for anyone new to the contest procedure. However, they still need sufficient nominees to survive the first round and make it to the voting phase just like any of the other categories.

It just screams particle illusion.

I liked the menu, didn't like the fact there was no Chapters.

I could swear my discs have chapters on them... when I got to the videos on the first disc that we had to download, I paused the DVD player, watched them on my comp, and then hit 'chapter skip' on the DVD player and it happily skipped that video and went on to the next...

There's chapters on them... We were able to go back and forth through videos quite easily o_o
