Does anyone know what the most current Twin Galaxies video submission guidelines state with regard to file format?

I would like to use my iPhone 5 to record a submission, but apparently the iphone records in an HD format called H.264. Is this an acceptable format? What if I converted it using a file converter to something like MPEG-4 or .avi? Would that be acceptable?

Also, does anyone know what should be shown on a submission video? I've seen several things on the internet, but lots of things refer to the Twin Galaxies website, which is now offline. I wonder if anyone has a record of their most recent guidelines.

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm not 100% certain, but I think that might work, though I'm wondering if video from an iphone would be of high enough quality.

I'm not sure on quality and frame size, but when I submitted it needed to be I think 640x480 and video bitrate of 1000. I converted my video to avi so that should be okay.

As for what should be on the video, I showed the dead air screen for a few seconds and then booted the console.

(Warning:New guys bought TG in October and everything I said may no longer apply. The site should be back this week they said so ask them soon.)
