I was thinking about something... I have 2 way to make videos, with my webcam or with my camera. The videos made with my webcam are pretty lame... The videos made with my camera are way better, but I never could modify them. I mean, Movie Maker and 1 or 2 other software to modify videos just can't read them!
So maybe, if I make a video with my camera, KAA&MG won't be able to cut a part from it... or even put it together with other videos! What do you think, guys?

I dunno... I would think maybe the problem is your software. What type of file does it save video as? o.O my iPod nano saves the video as .mp4 so I would think editing shouldn't be a problem. I thought that had been pretty standard for a while??

My camera make them as .MOV
Here an example, if you or KAA&MG want to try to modify it, and tell me if you/they can:
http://damegdl.free.fr/Perso/CIMG3312.MOV (Manga Museum of Kyoto, special cosplay party, summer 2009)
I just can read them and of course add them on Youtube. But as I can't modify them, I couldn't put together some videos, what I wanted to do before adding them on Youtube T_T So if you find a way, any way, to modify them, you'd really help me!

Dameg, here's a video tutorial of how to convert MOV files so you can edit them with Windows Movie Maker.  I downloaded the converter and tried it out on the file you posted, and it did convert it successfully.  I don't have Movie Maker to check if the converted file can actually be edited, but it's the right type of file, so it should work.

Happy editing!

The videos posted thus far are looking good. It makes me wish I had the necessary equipment to make my own video.  Keep up the great work!

How did I miss them? I saw Myitt's video only yesterday on Youtube, and I totally missed Marie's video >_<
They're awesome!
How much time do we still have?

KA/MG said they were presenting the videos in early August. As far as I understand it, they're taking clips from what we send them and editing them into one comprehensive presentation. In order to give them time to edit the videos, I would aim to have your portion submitted to them this week, if possible.

Hopefully KA & MG will give us an update letting us know exactly how much time we have left, but I'd guess the sooner the better!

OK. I registered myself, but I still have to cut the dog-barking and train-passing and Dameg-screwing parts ^^' and of course to add the subtitles. So one week must be enough.

Really? I'm glad you like it, I'm really reassured. Because I don't like to speak in front of a camera, I'm very very bad at it! And I was afraid to act stupid, or to say stupid or useless things... For this 1 min 30 sec video, I spoke in front of my camera maybe 30 minutes ^^' talking, deleting, repeating... If my neighbors heard me, they must be convinced now that I'm insane. (And of course I am, but I usually try to hide it, and I hide myself a lot from the neighbors...)
I hope it'll be OK for KAA&MG.

I really did love it, and I was totally charmed by your French! ;) Seriously, though, it's a great way for the publishers to see how important these books are to people all across the world. Your video sends a more powerful message than just "these books are great, and here's why," simply because it is in French! Also, your humor is great, and the points you bring up are wonderful. Great work, Dameg!
