Can anything be done about it? The answer is no, not really.
You can't really sue em, unless you owned the anime and the music used. Maybe on intellectual grounds or somthing, but I doubt so, AMV's are illegal to begin with.

When you create videos commercially, you have to meet the demands of the people who hired you. You're not editing for yourself anymore, so therefore what you think should be done is second to what your boss think should be done. That's why I think it would be difficult for most of the people here t...

It doesn't really matter all to much, but take in mind that most if not all AMV contest's will broadcoast the videos on a 4:3 screen. So if you do export digitally keep a 4:3 tag so it doesn't get resized and look stretched when projected.

I don't have a gripe about this, as long as it's [b]optional and not a requirement.

2. Do you accept SVCD formatted mpg' files? Its better than VCD but not exactly DVD, but its 480x480 which is better than normal vcd.

dang I knew something screwed up during mpeg2 conversion.

Has anyone recieved any information email from Katsucon yet? If they recieved the amv's at all or not. I haven't yet.

Sorry I couldn't find the EDIT button. Someone mentioned it before, when editing, you're working for the "client" or boss, and whatever they want goes, or you go. When working with AMV's you pretty much have the freedom to do whatever you want. I've known folks who wanted the blandiest promotional v...
