4. No subtitle footage unless you put them in there.
5. No English Dialogue from the anime, You may use the Japanese voices and put in your own subtitles.

9. Formats accepted are wmv, mpeg1, mpeg2, avi, DivX. (No guarntee with wmv formats since I would have to do the re-encoding myself. So if you could use TMPGEnc and convert them into Mpeg1 or 2 format for me that would be great.)

11. Please no bumpers for the videos, or studio logos we will make the bumpers ourselves to keep them consistant.
12. Please include second blank footage before and after the video. (This will not count towards your video time. This will just make it easier to put the dvd together.)

Also for anybody that doesn't want to mail there amv's well download them from the org if you want, but remember the quality you put up here on the org is what will be shown at the convention. So please only do this if your going to cut it close to the deadline and don't have enough time to mail them, because we really do need all the videos by the September 24th. We appreciate anybody that want to submit to help make Ani-Quest 1 a success. Thanks.

Dang, shows how long I've been away, could have sworn the deadline was sometime in July. Shweet! More time! I'm definitely submitting.

[genestarwind21122]

Yes the deadline got pushed way back because I found out that it is possible to judge the videos in 2 weeks. Of course well watch videos as they come in and give them scoring. So that way there isn't a giant amount at the end. Basically we have fine tune the contest where everything should run smoothly. Thanks for taking intrest in the contest.
