First off, want to say, excellent song choice :P Beg4Life has been a favorite dnb song of mine for a while now (as noticed in Reflections of Style 1) The editing was fairly solid throughout. You know how to follow a really high-paced song like this (and you also know when to cool it down, which is just as important).

One thing I'm a little perplexed about is the file size. There's really no real reason it should be 100mb for a 2:57 video. Also, I'm thinking this will probably get pulled from Local fairly soon, due to the nothing-but-video-game content.

Let's hope they don't delete the video. All of my videos are made of videogames FMVs, so if they take this off, they would have to take the rest of my other FMVs, which would be a bummer, a travesty almost.

Concerning the file size...believe it or not I had to reduce the length of the AMV to get it below 100MB. I'd love to decrease the size, but Xvid did not give me the quality I wanted. I also rendered the AMV using several other bitrates but I was just never satisfied.

Video game fmv footage (made in japan) is acceptable for local.

He has a few in there thats made in japan so its probably good.

Probably because its a 720x480 mpeg at pretty descent encoding rate.

The one thing that bugs me the most about this video was the ugly interlacing artifacts in some of the scenes. Did you export this from Premeire with Fields turned on?

Awesome synching though, you obviously know your stuff when it comes to timming. A bit epeliptic at times, but well done nonetheless.

Did anyone else see the interlacing problem? I'm very picky when it comes to quality, so if I had detected even the slightest interlacing issue I would not have uploaded it.

The interlacing problems are particularly noticeable around 1.56, and during the other scenes with the guy in the tattered red coat, and also during the Soul Calibur (?) parts around 2.40.

I'd have to take your words for it then.
