  1. I try to remember their name as soon as they have 100 jumps blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  2. ethical and legal are not necessarily the same thing here anyway, there is a lot of music (good as well as not-so-good) available under the creative commons license a good place too start is http://www.jamendo.com/en/ blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  3. How about it? blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  4. the burner will do it OK. check if the software you are going to use with it supports creating a layer break for dual layer. use opposite track path for shorter pauze at the break, use parallel track path for less compatibility problems, especially if your disc is very full. (I remember DVD Studio Pro couldn't create a correct layer break in previous versions, don't know about now.) blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  5. Why not use (or build on) OpenID for this? or am i missing something? blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  6. All PAL DVD players can also handle NTSC: most will just output NTSC, a few have a built-in convertor and can be set up to output PAL from an NTSC source. Some (older) PAL televisions can not handle NTSC and will display a (lousy) black & white picture, allmost all newer sets play NTSC OK. For computer viewing, it makes no difference. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  7. I do a 2-step process too: first I make a lossless avi (resize & preprocess, huffyuv codec), you could do that in the free version of TMPGEnc, and then flv encode. You could do it all at once in premiere, but that's not free (and I don't like working in Premiere, but that's just me of course). blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  8. I just watched the Swoop n' Hook clip (by DSE) on YouTube. It 's a great video, but what also struck me was the compression quality. There is some challenging footage in there, and yet it is among the best I have seen on YouTube. Few blocking or blurry spots, good colors and contrast (It is certainly better than what I can manage ) Can anybody (DSE?) elaborate on what are good settings for uploading clips, or share some tips? thx, blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

  10. I 'd choose it myself (sorry, couldn't resist) there are some good articles about this on this site: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/safety/detail_page.cgi?ID=43 is one of them blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  11. "In Raw World of Sex Movies, High Definition Could Be a View Too Real" according to the NYTimes... http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/22/business/media/22porn.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1&th&emc=th&oref=slogin “The biggest problem is razor burn,” said Stormy Daniels, an actress, writer and director."
  12. Apparently, early PS3 autoscaled to 480p when connected to a 1080 display. there is a firmware upgrade for this. see http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12011 "- Selecting video output resolution has changed, allowing you to choose all the resolutions supported by the TV. The video will automatically be displayed at the maximum resolution possible, according to the following order: 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, Standard (NTSC)." blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  13. 23.976 = source speed, 29.97 = display speed. 24 fps film is slowed down to 23.976 fps. thus, by using 2:3 pulldown, you end up with 59.94 fields per sec (= 29.97 frames ps). what this all means is that in your mpeg encode, you only creeate 23.976 progressive frames, for an interlaced output of 29.97, wich gives you a 20% data reduction. the missing fields are recreated at display time. in short: if your source is film (24fps) and your target is television (29.97 fps), you can use this setting. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  14. who are they ? blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  15. http://www.videohelp.com/hd has info & a comparison between both. maybe you can also find info about writers on this site. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  16. if you are looking for quality in your PAL/NTSC transcodes, procoder 2 is a very good piece of software. legal versions of it are expensive, but you can see the difference. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
  17. if you are interested in high def DVD's (either format, HD DVD or Blue Ray) you have a choice between 3 video formats: - MPEG2, same as "normal" DVD's, but at a higher resolution - MPEG4 AVC (aka H.264), a more recent mpeg flavour, that gives better quality for fewer bits - VC-1, the microsoft codec that is also used in Windows Media Video 9 and for all things X-box MPEG2 is there for legacy reasons, both H264 and VC-1 can give you very good quality. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/

    If you‘re going to shelve tapes for a long period, it is a good idea to rewind them completely before putting them away. Also, every now and then ff and rewind them, to keep the plastic ribbon supple, and prevent the tape from getting sticky (once a year or every two years will do). And if you need an old tape, don’t put it immediately from the basement in your camera or vtr, give it an hour or so to take on the environment temperature. blue skies, http://myjumps.blogspot.com/
