A few Qs about that video...


What do i bring to the Regional exactly?

Is it a DVD disk of the Video, burned as a movie or as simple DATA?

And where and how do i submit the <5MGBs file?

I am kind of confused on the format as well.

The Chairman's Doc

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.

At the NY regional 375 submitted a data DVD. We used WMV format and just put a high quality version and a low quality (under 5 megabytes) on the disc.

The video on a dvd is just given to the judges by your presenters, you do not submit it anywhere else.

We didn't win it in NYC but we had a fun time trying. Enjoy!

Well for the time I was given, I'd say our movie is excellent. Filmed on Thursday night, then imported and edited all day Saturday, with some touch ups on Sunday, this is our final result. Enjoy!

P.S. Does anyone know if the compressed version of the video has to be in the same 16:9 aspect ratio?

Wow, all the videos up are really good! Great job
Our team submitted ours to the NASA/VCU regional, but the award went to blue cheese (who had an amazing video).
If I can get a hand on one of our copies, i'll post it later.

Here's the 1511 Chairman's video. I'm sorry that it wasn't displayed at Chesapeake. I'm not sure why it wasn't. We had a lot to say so I'm sorry it starts right up, I'll make a different version and post it with a title and credits that will be over 3 minutes for non-judge viewers.

Just a quick note, I believe you haft to turn in a DVD for Chairmans but I could be wrong. We did a the Wayne State comp. and when you do you just turn it into the judges I believe.

Yes this is correct. We also got confused with the file type as stated in the posts above. We ended up making a data DVD as well with a quicktime file. This seemed to fit the criteria.
