Thanks for telling me about Escapade and thanks also for the link! ;) I read the submission info and I see they won't accept WMV. You might be able to email and explain that you only have WMM and can't meet their MPEG-2 requirements and they may be willing to accept the AVI file. I see that they are willing to accept VHS submissions, though they warn that the quality will be lower because of it. And AVI is much better than VHS, lol! ;)

They're just trying to get the best quality vids that they can, understandably since they'll probably be shown on a large screen and lower quality vids will blur out to nothing when they get magnified that large! o_O ;)

Anyway, best of luck to you! Happy vidding! :D
