My team managed to procrastinate and submit an animation before the deadline, but when I got around to checking what had been uploaded, I was fairly shocked to see an .AVI file, not a .MOV that the award guidelines called for.
So um, is my team’s animation pretty much over for this year? It is going to be automatically disqualified?

That depends on the type of AVI. If it’s a Cinepak or DV-NTSC you’re okay.
I believe it is one of the either. 
Thanks.
…My team got around to making a .MOV of it and uploaded that online 2 1/2 days late. Hopefully it’d be accepted, since it has a better quality than the .AVI.
So I take it the heck I went through to change the format from .wmv to .mov was wasted because I could have changed it to an .avi easily. Grrr… added grey hairs for no reason.
