The rules state that the digital submissions must "use a standard format that can be played on a windows based operation system." Does this include MPEG-2 or HuffYUV? Those are the two formats I make all my con-quality copies in, and I'd like to know if I'll need to convert to another format before submitting.

Since we output the final con copy of all the vids to a DVD I think submitting it in MPEG2 would be perfect. HuffYUV would work just fine as well.

That's good news. Would you like a specific frame rate or bitrate, or does it not matter?

A standard NTSC framerate would be preferable as this may be shown on a big screen television.

you're showing the final copies on a dvd? that seems odd. the vids would have to comform to the dvd player, so does that mean anyone submitting a video as 24fps progressive would have it converted to 30fps interlaced? that wouldn't be too great, so I hope that's not the case.

I will have to discuss this with the other staff members. Last year we showed it on a DVD but I was not on staff back then. I believe we may have a projector at the convention so I will look into the possibility of using that with a computer instead of the DVD

ok, thanks. if I need to convert my final video to a different frame rate for dvd output, I'd prefer to do it myself before sending it. thanks for looking into that for us.

Well, if you're encoding to MPEG-2, you just have to set the 3:2 pulldown flag and that's it -- no conversion needed.

what about the frame rate? will it let you put amvs of different frame rates on that one dvd? and if it's to be shown on a tv, unless it's a hacked dvd player, doesn't the frame rate have to match the tv?
