There will be a submission website where you upload your file and then you mail a DVD out to Jarred. You can either submit a wmv or a mov.

Nothing to get straight...

ughh... The contest/submission starts on December 1st. Like Yankee said there will be a website to submit your films at. It's not up yet, you can't submit yet and there are no rules for submission yet. Jarred implied that this contest is gonna be held differently from the previous, so it's likely that the guidelines for compression of the entries will be different too.
And after all it's not like the size of the web version of your movie somehow matters during the production. Keep shooting, stop worrying...

Yeah there will be guidelines, very specific requirements, and if you screw it up no big deal, the world's not gonna end.. but you will be disqualified.

Hey Genius (I love that), maybe you missed this thread, but I think the opening post should answer a LOT of your Q's: http://www.dvxuser.com/V3/showthread.php?t=39467

If you STILL have questions about file size, etc. after reading this ... um ... let us know.
