Hi, I noticed that in the submission dialog for convention participation, some cons are unselectable. I assumed at first that this was to prevent fake-listings prior to the actual convention, but several of the cons that have this problem have already passed (notably to me, AnimeNext). Is this on-pu...

Cool, I made it! *skipping dance of happiness* But ANext '06 is blocked out here at the .Org as far as listing contest participation. Besides wanting to add my vid, I want to see what's playing this year. (Editors are still fans first, right?)

Good suggestions all around. (Although the avisynth Wiki page doesn't have anything posted for Esca, unfortunately.) I picked up Smart Smoother & Smart Smoother IQ for the rainbowing, and I'll try to track down & snip out those ghost frames. Remmeber that many contests now are burned to a dvd and pl...

Er, I've had a rude awakening after checking out my vid on a higher-end system. The problems are worse than I thought, and a fair amount of it seems to stem from the original source. (Did I mention that this is an Escaflowne video? *sigh*) I'll try filtering the hell out of it, but I don't think I'l...

If you're talking visual quality, I'd say : no macroblocking, no DivX logo (or other logos, for that matter), no subtitles, and no interlacing. No, there's nothing glaring like that, just maybe 3 or 4 shots where I see some rainbowing and a couple of my fade-to-white transitions have a "ghost frame...

So I'm facing my first con submission, and the contest guidelines are all clear on technical format. However, I'm having trouble coming up with a sense of how polished the final product ought to be, as far as encoding bitrate / file size and minor artifacts. I could keep tweaking it right up to the ...

Hmm, this is a question I'm struggling with myself, and frankly it would be helpful if we had a "Participating in a Convention AMV Contest" guide. *hint hint nudge nudge* But as an AMV-watcher, I often scan the org as much as 2 months ahead of a con in order to check out the outstanding (or yawn-wor...

I assume this is about set-top recorders, not the PC writers. Yup. That was really helpful, thanks. Do you (or anybody else) know whether DVD-RW has the same hangups with making chapter stops? I'd like to revive the "old days" of distributing OP/ED trailer reels at club screenings. is that the pict...

So with DVD recorders falling in price, I'm wondering about if anyone's had any success or failure in using them for AMV-creation and/or hard-copy distrubution. Also, can DVD recorders be hot-wired to players to run off simple trailer reels or samplers?
