Is Large Upload Request Received?

[Squancho]

This is what I'm trying to submit:

AMV Salad 7: Late For Supper
Size: 314998621 bytes
Length: 855 sec
Res: 640x480
This is over 14 minutes in length.
It's currently in mp4 Xvid.
ZarxGUI doesn't work on my computer (compatibility issues).
If there is any suggestion you have that will compress this file further WITHOUT degrading visual quality, I'm open to them.
Otherwise, this is what I have.

I'm not receiving the usual confirmation that the request is pending when I sent the request.
Would someone please look into this?
I'm having to depend on a YouTube link at the time.
Thanks...

The news filesize limit is 150MB for normal users and 300MB for donators.
Which version of zarxgui are you trying to use? Maybe try another: http://www.amvhell.com/stuff/zarx264gui/
Since it's SD, at that length you should be able to get it under 150MB easily, actually.

I tried all of the available versions, none of which were compatible.
I can't even open the program.
This file was originally a 448mb mpeg2 (720x480) which I managed to squeeze into its present form.
Is there anything else you can suggest?

Do you have AviSynth installed? ZarxGUI needs it as a pre-requisite, I think. Or do you get any errors?

[Squancho]

The program won't even open.
I get that "incompatible with your Windows operating system" alert, never mind I'm using 7.
Anyway, I gave up with all the technical BS and threw the mpeg2 into Vegas and rendered an x264 mp4 and achieved a 71mb file.
Whatever works, I guess...
