Sounds like a good contest


although why divx, it's good to stream with a divx web player but other than that it's an outdated codec, especially for a CS movie (i prefer x264 or XVID)

but it's your contest so it's your rules, gl to all participants

also, does 4 rounds of voting seem excessive to anyone else? the video that receives the most votes after you've narrowed the entrants to 10 (round 2) could take the prize right then :P (or top 2/3 videos if you decide to expand the prize pot).

Well i would want it to be widdled down to the top 2 videos and have them just got head to head. Plus it gives everyone time to vote and spread there vid around.

Awesome, ill try to get one out.

i ll try lol

I will also do something

I know about many people that won't enter this competition because of the rule that says that you have to encode it in divx. I really hope that this rule can be changed, because divx don't give as good quality in cs movies as xvid and x264, and that will make it hard to get good quality movies in the competition.

Unless it's in 1080p at 50fps, Divx should be fine for roughly 15 minute videos. Surely Stage6 could host massive videos for you.

As long as it's under 8mbps, I think it would be streamable.
