The requirements for a DVD entry in the Walkley Awards
The DVD should be clearly labelled with the entrant's name, category number and the number of sessions on the disc.
If your disc has been burnt on a DVD set top recorder, please ensure that the set top recorder's aspect ratio is set to the same ratio as your footage e.g. 4:3 or 16:9. Also please make sure that there is no copyright encryption that would prevent the copying and duplication of your DVD.
Most multimedia formats can be screened; however a DVD master is preferred. Where finished pieces are only available as digital video file, the saved format should be QuickTime DV-PAL at the highest quality setting with a screen resolution of 720x576 (4:3) or 1024x576 (16:9).
If you can only provide work as data files on a CD-ROM or DVD, please use the same screen resolution as above: 720x576 (4:3) or 1024x576 (16:9) and save your video as a QuickTime movie file saved with the 'DV-PAL' codec set at maximum quality.
If the work cannot be generated in these frame sizes, we may accept frame sizes of 360x288 (4:3) or 512x288 (16:9) but the frame rate must be 25fps.
The Walkley Foundation appreciates your cooperation in complying with these rules.
