Downloading/Recording/Ripping RTSP Streams
Time
Well... I may have spoken too soon. In a way, I *can* convert it, but the audio and video is off. The video does not start for 10 seconds, no matter what format I tried, and believe me, I tried a lot. So I guess I'll just upload the original FLV, and the unsynchronized other formats. The problem seems to be that when I open the original in FLV Player, it starts at "Time = 10 seconds," which is what must be messing my encoders up. It'll be up in a little bit.

EDIT: Never mind the above, I just did it! For now, I am just putting a ZIP file on Megaupload with the original FLV file and the converted AVI file. I know that you mentioned a MOV or WMV file earlier, but they came out pretty big, and for speed's sake, I will just put the AVI up. AVI is pretty common, so you should be able to play it. If you need a MOV or WMV format, let me know and I will put it up also.

Downloading/Recording/Ripping RTSP Streams

@ sunday256: After a while, I finally got the raw FLV stream. The problem is I can't figure out how to convert it. Every single one of my programs I have tried so far is running into problems; I suspect they may have but some copy protection in. I'll keep trying, but if nothing else I'll at least upload the FLV; you can still watch it in FLV player and VLC.

@andy_k_250: No problem. I did it simply with HiDownload without a problem. HiDownload

EDIT: SUCCESS! I think I just figured out how to convert it sunday256, I have to go play tennis now, but I will put it up later.

Star Wars DVD Covers
Time
I am also sorry to hear that you have lost interest and closed your site Falle; you are a great artist. I really enjoyed your covers. For some reason, your Holiday Special cover is one of my favorites. But I agree that those prequel covers look great; is there any chance you could also show just the poster part for the prequels? Like without all of the rest of the DVD cover stuff, just the prequel equivalents of John Alvin's artwork if you know what I mean. Thanks.

Transformers The Movie: Resparked (Released)
Time
Hi, I rarely post here, but seeing as how I saw this movie a mere 45 minutes ago, I thought I would chime in. However, here is my disclaimer: I am in no way a hard-core Transformers fan. I read a kids book at my Grandma's house once, and was like, "whatever," nothing special. So I guess I am kind of unbiased in a way, I dunno. I just went with my friends to see a movie.

When you say: "a little bad dialogue, some unnecessary plot lines, some cheesy kid crap, and that it would just kind of need to be tidied up" I know EXACTLY what you mean. As it is now, the movie wasn't bad at all, but with those above changes, I think it could really become great. As it is now, I feel that underneath the surface there IS a great movie there. The good news is that in my opinion, it is almost right there at the surface, it isn't buried deep down like some other movies (I am trying to think of a good example, but nothing is coming, maybe like the two newest Pirates movies...bleh). I don't know if you understand what I am saying, but whatever the case, I had the exact same feelings as you. Dammit, the movie is already fading from my memory, but I'll try to type what I can remember. Let's see...

Over all, they seemed to start several unnecessary plot type things that were half or even quarter-assed. Let me remember:
    The whole soldier and his wife thing. What the hell? It never went anywhere.

    The one girl, Mikeala or something and her dad and their criminal past. Why even bring it up? It seemed as if Sam didn't really seem to care and didn't brood about it and forgot about it right away. I dunno, seemed half-baked.

    Optimus and Megatron with that brothers line. Were they really brothers? I was confused, and again, Optimus didn't seem to show very much sadness or remorse.

    The whole entire girl programmer thing really bugged me. They introduce these two characters, and they don't do much, except eat a plate of donuts. They just solve the code, and that's it. Wow. Yippie ki-yay motherf*&%$#. Big deal. They almost seemed like dead weight to the movie.

    Ah, just remembered another one. I don't know what fan editor's can do, but I'll just throw it out: The Score. First off, let me say, that like the movie, it was in no way bad per se, but it could have been better and could have made the movie better. Again, I don't know if you can do anything, but I seriously thought that it could have carried the movie a lot farther. There was one particular scene I can't remember and a couple of others too where the music was building up, and I was waiting for something good, and then it just kind of petered out. The same feeling overtook me during the HP5 movie. It seems(ed) to me that in both cases, the composers were too tentative, and then did not want the music to overtake the scene, when it could/should have. Again, it wasn't bad, but could have been better.

    Lastly, I am forgetting all my ideas, but it almost seemed to me like the producer or directors or whoever were trying to portray the Autobots as thinking, highly sentient and sensitive beings. I got that feeling, but again it never really seemed fleshed out. I don't know if that was what they were trying to do or what, but just throwing it out there.

    Ooh, remembered another one. That little silver bad robot and his high pitched annoying as hell voice, if you can call it that. WTH? That just really annoyed me.


Well that's enough typing for now, if I remember more I'll try and remember to type them up. And just keep in my mind, that I am not particularly a Transformers fan, but just liked the movie. Good luck with your fan-edit, it maybe one of the select few that actually grab my attention and I follow.

Cut Footage after burning
Time
When you say you lose footage, you mean like edges of the video, right? Not like actual seconds or minutes of the video being chopped right? If that is the case, I might hazard a guess that overscan is your problem. The short story: TVs will crop off a little bit of the side of video in case the edges are not smooth. Computers don't do that, hence you can see all the edges on the WMV file. If I understand you correctly, that could possibly be the problem. The bad news is I don't know of a program to fix this. However, I think I read somewhere that you can mess with your TV and get rid of overscan, but at the risk of maybe ruining something. So sorry, I couldn't really help.

***Kaal's "SW Video Games Cutscenes" Project***
Time
Sup dudes. It's my first post, so I might do something wrong. I have been lurking about a year now, reading carefully, and now here is a project that I can contribute to. I would gladly scan the page for you, since I own the book, and we are a community here, but there are two problems.

1.) My scanner can't scan books.
2.) I hate to break it to you, but the book does not have any schematics of the Moldy Crow. It has a couple sentence blurb found on page 193. The blurb is as follows:

MOLDY CROW:
The starship owned by Rebel operative Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn during their investigation into the Empire's Dark Trooper program. Jan often piloted the vehicle to rescue Kyle from Imperial force.

That's all it has. Sorry about that, and good luck with the rest of your project.
