Keep those submissions coming! Less than two months until the deadline!

Hopefully by the next staff meeting we'll have an inside word on which categories are feeling a little light so far.

Keep in mind the "Wild West" theme for this year's convention when thinking of new ideas, as (if I'm not mistaken) there will be something along the line of a "Spirit of NekoCon" award in addition to the categories and Best in Show.

Also, we'd love to see more of you editors attending NekoCon. Stay tuned for more...

Will you accept H.264 MP4 files made with Zarx264gui? MP3 audio.

Our required format of choice is MPEG-2 at 720x480 resolution, at 29.97 fps, at an audio frequency of 48khz. Please do not send any video files with a bitrate of over 9000kbps or anything encoded with AC3 audio! If you send a video in not in the appopriate format, you will be notified to resubmit. Please do not send VCD, SVCD or DVD-video formatted media, as we will not accept it!

I can't speak for Tiff or Elvis, but my own personal experiences with mp4 has been sketchy. Is there a reason you can't or don't want to render the project as mpeg2? Tech trouble?

If you choose to send us your submission via FTP, please email amv@nekocon.com with your submission information. You will then be given a unique username and password as well as any necessary login information to upload you video.

...so there's always that option. It's better to send a large file of higher quality / proper format through FTP than mailing a disc, spending money on shipping, and finding out there was a problem. If you like, I can get a more detailed explanation from the DH but I think the result will be the same for the most part. :sweat:

Oh no - it's just that I have this nice collection of finished files, in various versions (with&without this and that) all nicely stored away - all in MP4).

I'll just have to crank up Vegas again and re-render.

I guess NekoCon is kind of a cool name, nya. And you can probably imagine what a haven it is for catgirls (anime and rave varieties alike), nya. ;) As mentioned, the con theme this year is "the Good, the Bad, and the Neko." Cosplayers had better step up for this one, nya.

And hopefully at least one AMV editor will as well... :jester:

What, you didn't keep a gigantic lossless master copy?

Yeh. I've got a lagarith for each of the various versions. And 2 DVD-R copies of the finish setup files so I can make more.

BUT - those lagarith files are on PC I use at work while I am sitting there waiting for an alarm to go off or something - in my OLD job. New job has no spare time, so no time for PC.

I could bring it home, shove bunch of stuff around and piss off my wife - OR I can just make new one on home PC while I eat my Cheerios.
