Okay I have a few videos but none of them are good enough quality to submit. They are all exported from Windows Movie Maker. I have a Mini DV camera but not the firewire and the program that captures the video isn't very good. No firewire port on my computer (at least I don't think so). You guys are the experts, any way you could help me? Because otherwise these aren't .AVI files but rather MPEG. :(

You need firewire to be able to capture high enough quality video from your camcorder to the PC, if you're not editing high quality video, then you can't produce high quality video. It's as simple as that really.

Are you going to have a rule for the langue in the lyrics of the BGM in the videos? I have some good songs from Denmark that fits perfectly, but most of them is in that bastardiation of langue we call Danish, so I would understand if it wasn't allowed. ;)

Hey man, Danisch sounds cool! So I hope they allow it :D!
I'm not going to use a song in my native language, because Dutch isn't cool LOL:D!

The songs/lyrics/anything can be in any language...the only rule is that the lyrics have to remain PG-13. We've had songs in our videos that have been in different languages too!

Im kinda leary about submitting simply because I just starting shooting lss than a week ago and only had a chance to film at one park and that was yesterday (not counting the construction tour at carowinds). I have put a 2:30 featurette of S:UF I think its pretty good but hey im not the judge...

I'm going to submit two of my videos to the contest. Is it okay if I burn them both on the same DVD? Since I don't have anymore DV tape or money to go out and buy more DV tape. Just thought I would ask. Thanks.

^As long as they satisfy the rules for quality and size, that's not a problem!
