Yes the compression is, this way you can make sure it fits on the cd, however dont' confuse compression with resolution. You don't want to make your video bigger then 640 because depending on the systems they are showing it on it might run a lot slower than on your machine. the Compression is the quality of the video at the given resolution. The higher resolution and less compression you use, the nicer it will look but the slower it will run.
In the past they have made it obvious that some of the computers that the judges are shown these vids on, aren't of the highest quality. We would all love to make it 800x600 and just compress it with divx, unfortunatly i doubt many of the judges comptuers have the Divx Codec
Next year they should make sure the judge's computers have DivX and let us use that, it would be a great use for it.
