Re: Chairman's Award Video Submissions

I am kind of confused on the format as well.

The Chairman's Doc
http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles...20Criteria.pdf

Mentions the video is to be on DVD.

"Teams give DVD to judges at the RCA interview"

This is confusing because then it says the format must be

"A 16:9 (“widescreen aspect ratio”) Flash, Quicktime, or Widows Media file"

I am sorry, but neither of those 3 formats are DVD formats.

You can't copy any of those formats to a DVD and play it in a DVD player. You must convert those formats to an authored DVD format.

So what did they really mean to say?

Burn one of those formats on a "DATA" DVD? A true DVD is *.VOB file that is authored. Generally a VOB files is either AVI or MPEG if renamed.

Can someone shed some light on the DVD for me? I assume at this point they mean burn the video file in one of the three video formats to a DATA DVD.
