Dick:

I've had the same problem, with Quicktime Pro, something is going on, but can't figure, so Window media here I come. Windows medias is working so nice with the HDV renders anyway....

Since this is the question thread, I seem to have lost, forgotten and/or misplaced the following information; what are the prizes for this DVC? Anyone have a link with it in there? I thought I saw it someplace but it isn't obvious to me now.

Thanks,
Sean

Anybody else having a probelm with Quicktime? I'd like to have another go at it, and post a Quicktime link too, but I'm not sure if I would be violating the rules of the contest since I didn't get a AT version done before Sunday night.

Even if I'm not allowed to post a QT entry, I'd still like to get my QT Pro working. I'm currently thinking I will have to uninstall and reinstall it. Anybody else have the porblem and able to fix it?

I don't have QT Pro, Dick, but this time I put up an mp4 link. (It only plays as a QT for me.) The mp4 is almost the same file size as a mov rendered using the guidelines posted on this forum, but the quality seems much higher. If your reinstall doesn't work you might try it. :)

Thanks Lorinda. I really don't understand all the rendering options, but I have Adobe Premiere Pro. I played with the settings but failed to render any decent QT file until I got QT Pro. Premiere does render nice wmv files, but the QT settings were beyond me.

So, now that the finalists have been posted, can the rest of us publicly post our entries?

Not so fast there. this is day one. we've got 26 more films to get through.

I think they're all going to get posted in the "finalist" thread. This is just day one of films. The rest will be posted throughout the week.

Oh, okay. This is my first DVC and I was a bit confused. Thanks for clearing that up.

You have to look at Dylan, our fun loving leader of the pack as a sort of large scruffy cat. He likes to watch us run around in circles for a while before pouncing on us. Kind of like that alley cat with the one long tooth and the other knocked out in a fight with an unruley tripod or something. (Personally, I think it's the booze that makes him this way)

Seriously, I know it's tough and we all want the feedback, one way or another but this is the way the big cat plays the game. He has been known to be bribed with large quantities of golden colored alcoholic beverages. The older the better. Wait - wasn't I being serious?

Oh yeah. Welcome to the pack with the rest of us rats. We are all on the same ship. Hang in there and enjoy the ones that come out daily.

Hey, I've done four and I was confused too! Had to reread it to see the "Here's the first five." I think what Dylan meant was here are the entries, but I'm not sure. I hope so.

All posted?
 

I thought they were all getting posted too but looking at the thread again, it looks like 15 finalists to vote on?

So if that's true, when do we need our votes in? Does everyone that submitted anything vote even if they are not in the finalist catagory?

Lot's going on at work and I haven't been following as closely as I should have been.

Thanks,

Sean

I'm guessing Dylan hasn't been able to get to posting todays films yet. Hang in there.

Correct. Everyone gets posted, then I'll do the top 10.
