deng, we're already at 60+ entries for Metrocon this year, and since the contest is only an hour, only about a third of the entries get to be finalists.. crazy..
can we expect a list of finalists?

Actually, I <i>am</i> premiering it locally, at AnimeNEXT (which just happens to be the same weekend).IcyCloud wrote:Just kinda struck me as odd that someone from NJ would choose to premiere their vid at a Florida con rather than a local one.

<b>EDIT:</b> Problem solved. On a whim, I decided to encode an 848x480 XviD/MP3 AVI at highest possible quality settings; the file came out to about 100 MB, and it finally uploaded successfully (rewarded by the info and a little embedded Windows Media Player showing up in the right frame). Woot. ^_^

Nice dude, yeah, for my 2nd entry, I took the settings that I had set following your convention MPEG2 guide and made it MPEG1 instead.. granted, it lowered the file size(from like 223MB or something to 166MB), and the MPEG2 video came out kind of jumpy looking for some reasonScintilla wrote: <b>EDIT:</b> Problem solved.

Glad your problem is solved, Scintilla!
A list of finalists will not be posted prior to the con. All of the videos will be shown in a viewing block (I think on Saturday night, but don't hold me to that), and all of the winners will be shown at the AMV Contest on Sunday.
And Unlimited, I must say, I agree.
I'm impressed with a lot of what was sent in, and I really hope that the quality of the contest continues to grow in the future.
