Just a clarification on the video compression: the file format must be QuickTime (.mov), and the codec used must be DV-NTSC.
There is also a plethora of strict new regulations about frame rate, resolution, placement of text, audio levels, etc. so make sure you read the rules posted on
Streamline before you start animating.
