Same, I'm afraid I won't get enough sleep and accidently sleep in because I might get home late.
Oh, I'm getting home at one so I'll get plenty of sleep 
So let me get this straight, We upload the film to a site (Ex- Media-Fire) and then we just send the link to you e-mail, and then we can upload it to youtube, right?

Hey guys ( and girls if there are any )
I've been told that Vertual Dub and Super are good compressers, but they don't work on my Windows Vista.
Are there any other good compressers that are free to download?
Thanks.
D.J.M.
I've gotten Super to work on Vista, though it has had some problems. I can't say I didn't have these on XP, though, so it could just be bugs in the program. Often, too, the problem has been something I did wrong and after a few tries I was able to fix it. Unfortunately the error messages are pretty long and incomprehensible, which doesn't help things.
I use VirtualDub all the time on Vista, and I haven't had any problems with it.
I also recommend MPEG Streamclip.
The other compressor that isn't really a compressor is Windows Movie Maker. Once you have edited your movie, import it into the timeline on WMM and press Save Movie File. When you see the screen that says 'Best file size for my computer', click the little bit of blue text underneath it to get more options. Select 'Best to fit file size', choose the file size that you want and finish exporting it.
I really want to do this but all our lego is up in the attic. But anyway my bros organizing it so

I'm in. BTW, what's the theme for this contest?
-storgero
You won't know 'til the contest starts 
It'll be posted along with the mod element and submission guidelines and all the things you need to know in "THAC 6 Starts NOW!".
Do we have to email you the file?
In that case; what program is recommended for compressing?
Or just a link to some site where it's streaming(like youtube, vimeo etc.)?
-Antifaan
I'm not sure but I think I've already answered that, but I'll answer it again, Antifaan.
No. You put the file online wherever like mediafire or brickshelf, you send me the link of where you uploaded the file through email and once it's sent you can out it up wherever you want. You don't have to wait for a reply from me.
Guys, before asking questions please look through all the posts first, because I've answered some questions about 10 times. I'll be finally updating the FAQs on the THAC site tomorrow, or Saturday morning a couple of hours before the contest starts.

If I can, I will. If I can't, I won't.
Thanks Stevie
