You know, I understand the reasoning behind the submission criteria... FIRST wants to be able to burn a DVD and pop it into a DVD player at the event to put it on the screen. They also want something standardized so they don't run into issues like not having the right codec around.

But really... in today's world it seems like we could move to something like submission by YouTube - upload an HD version to YouTube, and give FIRST the link. Then instead of handing judges DVD's, you just give them a list of YouTube links. All these videos seem to end up on YouTube anyways...
