50MB Contest Rules: Can Entries Be Over 50MB?

[Lazlo]

For the 50MB contest, how are the ones that are over 50MB eligible? Just out of curiosity. It may have something to do with format things that I don't really understand. Thanks.

Lazlo,

The movie has to be less than 50 MB. If it is over 50 even in the least degree it will not be included in the contest. Which ones do you think are over?

It says how big the file is where you click to download and watch the film. Like for instance: y'a des jours comme ça is 57mb, and Here and There is 51mb.

Those are not in the 50 MB but they are in the showcase. Maybe we need a separate showcase and separate 50 MB showcase.

Okay, yeah, I was a little confused about that. Maybe there could be something that distinguishes those in the showcase from those in the contest. Thanks for the explanation.

Maybe they could stay in the same section, but a sign could mention films that are in the contest? (that would be an advert for the contest as well!)

Forgot to say, there must be a way to make a 60 MB or more film weight only 50, it all depends on the encoding options, doesn't it?
