Otherwise, wouldn't they have said something to the extent of "Compression [algorithm/software/codec] is at team's discretion"
Oh, and on the http://jive.ilearning.com/index.jsp , where do you suppose I should post it, awards? I don't want to bug the wrong group of people and get them made at the animators...we're always treading on thin ice regardless...

Autodesk does not own cinepak. It was originally made by Apple computer and bought by Radius.

It was the best codec around 6 years ago, but things have changed, and now Cinepak is not that really good anymore.
Cinepak is a lousy codec, it made our animation last year look like Cr*p last year.
To conform to standards they should make teams encode it into the ISMA MPEG-4 codec.

DIVX has many variants, and would not really be a codec to submit.
What would really by nice if you made an SVCD, which encodes video in the MPEG-2 format.
