robbalvey Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 How do I submit my video on a Mini DV Tape? I'm not sure I understand this question. You put the DV tape in an envelope and put the envelope in the mail. BTW, your video on DV tape is the "preferred method" of submitted a video. --Robb
Twister II Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Its more of how do I get my video, that I edited on the computer, onto my mini-DV tape? Would music transfer too?
robbalvey Posted March 2, 2006 Author Posted March 2, 2006 It's transfered via firewire cable to your camera. I'm not really sure how to explain it. Whatever you did to capture the video from your DV camera to your computer, do it in reverse! --Robb
Twister II Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Oh! Well I only have USB ports and cables so that's probably why!
TheStig Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Alright Im dropping my videos in the mail tomorrow, along with a little present (not as a bribe though!). I hope you like them! Colin C
BrandonUCD Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 Hmmm.. perhaps I will enter this year. I've been saving good footage for long enough now!
tinhead Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I have sent mine. I have only sent one bless me....
phazan Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Well I have kind of a dumb question, but I dont know much about this type of stuff. I have a digital camera that takes videos, and I would love to enter this contest. Does anyone know if it would work in this contest? It takes .mov videos. If it doesnt work I will just wait untill next year when I have a nice camcorder. thanks anyones help!
Carnage Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 ^ entries have to be in high quality DV format. So footage from a digital camera won't be valid. However you could post them to the video forum.
benzo41190 Posted March 13, 2006 Posted March 13, 2006 I am taking a video I made and converting it from Mov. to Microsoft DV AVI. What if it really isnt the best quality. I mean it would be fine for download but, not the best for a DVD?
robbalvey Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 Just a reminder - Videos need to be postmarked by April 1st! That in just over two weeks! We've already gotten quite a few entries and thanks to everyone who has submitted a video so far! --Robb ps. If you are a member of any other newsgroups or forums and would like to help us spread the word about the contest, please feel free to post about it. The more people that enter, the better the contest will be!
pkdcoaster Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Just Curious Robb.....why does the video have to be filmed within the last 2 years?? JEFF
robbalvey Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 ^ It just keeps everything somewhat current that way. --Robb
pkdcoaster Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 ^ It just keeps everything somewhat current that way. --Robb I understand it is your contest and your rules...... but I do not see when the video was taken is relevant to the quality and entertainment value of the video. Most of my footage is from 1997-2002, Then I had a lot of personal things happen that prevented me from going to many parks and taking videos. I am making a video now from my IOA trip from 2000 with my best buds and I have alot of good stuff in it and think it might be able contend but because it was filmed in 2000 it would be disqualified. It just does not make sense to me if it is a quality video that entertained you. But like I said it is your contest and your rules. It just seems like an unneccessary rule to me. Maybe this rule can be changed for next year's contest. posted with no disrespect to your great contest, JEFF
robbalvey Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 You know....good point! Rule dropped! --Robb
pkdcoaster Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 hahaha of course right after I upload the video in the forum oh well... Thanks for changing it and for listening. JEFF
robbalvey Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 Just so you know....just because a video has been posted to the forums doesn't mean it can't be entered in the contest! --Robb
pkdcoaster Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 Cool thanks for clearing that up...I was under the impression that if it was then you could not submit it....I just misunderstood the wording..I do not think I can borrow my parents dv camcorder before April 1st though..Maybe next year. JEFF
Az Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Well I shall be entering mine, I will put them on a DVD and having a menu pointing to them all... YAY! First time entering this comp - love it!
Jonathan Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 Quick question for you Robb: I was going to burn my uncompressed DV .avi file to a DVD and mail it to you as I have in the past. But, what if I had somewhere that I could upload the entire file on the net and then just email you a link to it (since you're going to have to copy the .avi file from the DVD to your computer anyway)?
J man Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 I'm going to try my best to enter. I'm going to shoot some new stuff at CnC this saturday. Hopefully I'll be able to edit it and get it in on time.

That would actually work just fine if you wanted to do it that way too. --Robb
WillMontu Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 I was planning to get some decent footage last weekend when Robb and Elissa were down in Florida. Unfortunately, my camcorder stopped working at the gate of AK (the first park we hit). In the end, I had to record to memory cards, but I was able to capture some decent footage (including POV's of Everest, Jurassic Park, and Primeval Whirl) and tons of good still footage. With Windows Movie Maker crashing every five minutes and a limited amount of video footage, I was able to crank out something interesting. My video has something for everyone at TPR, including fire, food, and Vekoma rides
