Don't worry about me. I've had my share of brushes with the LFL legal department in the past. They know about me already. Being mentioned in a newspaper column about a completely different project isn't going to change anything.

Tayo Yuden or Verbatim DatalifePlus are the best discs out there. I don't know any specifics on your particular hardware, but these two brands of media produce the least amount of coasters of anybody.

Can't say I ever thought of it that way. Good point.

This site is no secret. If LFL had a problem with what we do here they would have already contacted Jay.

An article that explains what we're doing and why in a non-condescending way can only be a good thing for us and the site.

Yeah, me too.

To my suprise, it's not a slanted story to put down Star Wars geeks like I was expecting.

I only have one more suggestion: uninstall ffdshow and download and install the Gordian Knot codec pack from doom9. This is different from the rip pack which contains the ripping/encoding software. You may have to decline the installation of the newest DivX as it may contain adware. It will also install ffdshow and set it with the proper settings.

It is possible that you are missing a certain codec or are currently using an unsuitable codec for mpeg processing. If that doesn't work then I give up.

I use MySQL for all my PHP web sites and I use PHP MyAdmin as a frontend. I've never delved into .NET, but I like PHP over ASP. I downloaded a installation package called Xampp to get it all working. I didn't want to have to learn how to install a bunch of stuff separately to get my database stuff working, and it did the trick.

Usually in 5.1 audio, a lot of the time the center channel plays mostly dialogue and the other speakers play the sound effects and soundtrack. If you extract the audio as separate wave files with a program like BeSweet, you can isolate the center channel and change the dialogue.

Question: do you guys have ffdshow installed? I wonder if that has anything to do with it since it handles the way mpeg and other video is processed by your computer.

I think a fan edit library is a great idea. I was thinking about doing something like that on my own web site already. It would be great to be able to see info about all the releases in one place and get links to media and feedback threads for each one. Perhaps allow for a small screenshot or two and a brief description for each one?

I don't know if there's any place you could find information like that on the net. You may have to revert to some technical manuals or a service manual for a laserdisc player.

When you load the clip in VDubMod and go to File -> File information, does it show the proper frame rate?

What did I tell you? The Broncos demonstrate their superiority over the defending champs, and making a statement that they are one of the top teams in the league. Too bad they don't play the Colts this year. I'm sure they'll meet in the playoffs again though.

I'm guessing they'll be 6-1 after playing at the Giants next week too. Then they'll take the Eagles down at home.

You didn't change any of the framerate settings did you? Check and make sure the new file's framerate is the same as the original one. In VDubMod, go to File -> File information.

This forum is for the discussion of anything that has to do with the technical side of video production and digital media.

Use this forum to...
Ask technical questions or help out others. Topics would include things like DVD authoring, audio and video editing, capturing, converting, burning, and printing labels & covers.

I think it would be great if we could get a few people to make some step-by-step guides to help out newbies with common things like ripping & burning DVD's, converting video, and basic DVD authoring. (hint hint)

Do not use this forum to...
Discuss a particular film or show, request a certain release, or start a project thread.

Feel free to ask questions or add your own ideas for the forum here.
