The Otakon 2012 Thread: AMV Contest Results All Up in Here

[Rendakor]

Do I need to censor one instance of the word "fatass" (or at least the "ass" part)?

[Davis 51]

OK, Krigen and I are on the same internet connection. Problem: it sucks right now.

We spent many hours earlier today trying to get the MPEG2 to render right, but it wouldn't no matter what, so we were planning on just sending the UTVid AVI's, but it's moving at snails pace, with speeds falling at a consistent rate (probably from everyone else trying to upload their entries, and will be 5 or 6 AM by the time hers alone is done, and that still leaves me out.)

Backup plan: Gonna render them as tiny nice neat little H264's, send em in. Hope too much quality won't be lost.

Vic, if you are gracious enough to allow it, we can send you the super-high-quality UTVids later.

I need to stop fretting over this. Whatever happens happens. Good luck to everyone. Hopefully, I'll see you all there at the con. Good night.

Got my entry in last night. However, I've been tipped off that another entry could be using the same anime source -- and almost the same title -- as mine.....

Great minds think alike...? :p

I'll be damned if we chose the exact same song!

I remember this happening ten years ago when 2 editors sent in comedy videos with the same song (but with different sources). If we both make the cut, this would be one heck of an omen!

Heh. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if you chose the same song. My song and source are not a conventional pairing at all. I think you're safe in that regard

Like Davis51, I'm going to submit mine as h264s because it was going to take ~5 hours to upload the avi. I ended up censoring the audio just to be safe.

Edit: So please pay no mind to the aborted avi file I uploaded -_-;; I wasn't able to delete it from the ftp.

So Vic, I know you are busy as hell on this, the last day of the deadline, but will I receive a confirmation e-mail? I submitted my form, got the response for that, and then I submitted my Video via FTP. I am a bit worried that it wasn't received. If there is anything wrong with it, will I be allowed to change say, its video settings, and resubmit it without it being DQed for late penalty?

Currently uploading my video and praying to every god I know, (Haruhi, Madoka, Holo, Belldandy, Deus Ex Machina, Alastor, Mayu, Keima Katsuragi) that it doesn't have any problems. The leason I have learned from all this though is to never wait till the very last second ever again!!!!!

I had planned on uploading much earlier today, but I couldn't figure out the 16X9 MPEG2 thing.

Per the rules found here:

We will email you once your entry AND your submission form have been received and tested. Keep in mind, if your entry arrives close to the deadline, it might be a week or two before you hear from us.

I'm rendering and uploading now. I'm submitting more than one file type just in case one can't be displayed properly or something. One in mpeg2 like requested, and the second one after being run through Zarx264. *crosses fingers*
