Weird. What FTP program do you use? Cause I just tried it and it worked fine. Here's the folder if all you need to do is download: http://planetmyhill.com/MUSICVIDS/MEP/

Oh, and Chrono, here's that footage chunk you needed: http://planetmyhill.com/MUSICVIDS/MEP/N ... _chunk.avi

I use Filezilla...

Nice, Kira - I love the closing shot.

So do I. Wow. That's weird. Maybe the server was just glitchy then? Try it again? Maybe you can get through this time?

Great to hear!

Will you take XviD encodes? I spent a god two hours with eva-fan trying to make the raw footage come out in 4:3 AR, but Premiere absolutely refuses for some reason we haven't a clue of and thus settled on forcing it to 4:3 by encoding it in XviD.

Would it be possible to fix it via an avs script? If so, send me the uncompressed and an avs and I'll import the avs into premiere when I compile the final project.

Otherwise, run it through Vdub and export as huffyYUV. That's usually what I do for MEPs anyway - export from premiere as huffy, write up an avs for resizing and/or footage cleanup, then run it through V-dub and export as a new huffy. I've never noticed any appreciable quality loss, particularly if you're post-cleaning the footage.

If I could have fixed it with an avs script I would have.

Huffy / Lags / any lossless codec doesn't support AR conversion.

The video is coming along slugishly... I've got most of the key points I wanted but I've been unable to find Battle Athletes Victory DVDs and I can't really make the video I wanted with just the OVA... well I can do it but I won't be happy with it. I can try and get a strictly OVA version done This weekend... then try and get the BAV dvds off the net and get them for next weekend (hopefully) so that I can put together the version that I want done.

Sorry for the lack of communication, school and work has been hectic and editing hasn't been high on my priority list.

NP, topstar. You may not have noticed, but I changed the date for the final deadline to November 14th. That's 2 days after I get back from California, plus it gives you guys another two weeks to finish up.

For safety of my mind, any and all requests for character changeas in the intro will be over this Sunday. I have to get my final for both segments done by the 14th, and I'm swamped as it is.

Did you get my footage chunk?
