There is no standard.
1: I gottin info from a few guys that indicate they submit to over 600 different posts and a mere 25% of there submissions get through.
Thats pretty fucked.
2: MGPS are undecided in Formats, MPEG, WMV, RM etc.
Thats pretty fucked from a production stand point.
3: Limited sizes ranging from 10 seconds to 1 minute clips.
Whats the fuck there? 10 seconds? 30 seconds?
4: Limited number of samples. Thus 3 or 6 so far.
5: They shy away from auto submissions requiring a hand submission. For someone to say they submit 600 by hand each day to the core MGP's is bullshit. (Thats an obvious fuck)
TGP's got there shit together really fast and made it possible for people to make templates and have them accepted reliably with a standard format however in the MGP game it seems to be in very much dis array. Its turning more into a Linux vs Windows vs Mac situation.
In my opinion its way out of control and a pretty weak segment that needs more development and definatly more standards.
Please note that all the rules are completely different regarding hosted galleries every single rule can be bent when that is on the table.

It's true that each TGP has its own rules and own expectations, but that's because it's what works for them.
They don't have to change and follow other big sites for their gallery qualifications because they have people who submit exactly what they're looking for... they're not going to change for the better of the average gallery maker.
They don't decline auto submits for no reason, most of them suck. The majority are shitty and most of them are fucks who redirect to some kind of Ad after getting listed. The gallery makers who both scam and just plain suck ruined that.
To submit to 600 TGPS is a waste of time, the max anyone should submit is 50 by hand as that's where the traffic is. You follow their rules, you don't try to accomodate 600 TGPS since most of them have shit for traffic.
Pick your TGPS and MGPS more wisely, satisfy a few rather than a few hundred, you're wasting your time ane energy otherwise
