IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

The fact is hows the BluRay as empty is very strange. You could try CCL or Pioneer themselves, though I wish you luck in finding anyone who will support it on XP (even though Tom was using BluRay on XP)

it was pointed out to me by an ex-teacher that children could be seen to be being enticed onto the land, I'm sure lawyers could have a field day arguing that one, assuming you're doing it on a day when it is expected children visit strangers' houses. But we don't want to be paying lawyers - we want...

Can of worms, John. If it's on your land and if you put up a clear sign I'm confident that you will be technically OK, but it only takes one parent to get shirty about it to ruin the whole evening for all the kids in the street and ruin your documentary scene. I would bust a gut to get someone there...

Paul Kittel interviewing Jess O'Brien Great idea of Paul's to use clips from the film. Jess makes a good subject - she is clearly switched on and able to communicate well in person as well as through the medium of film. Of course Paul's well judged questions helped no end. I'm sure Jess will be ple...

Dave, you have a fantastic mistress!

That being the case, I suggest you avoid any Belgian swimming pools!

Links to many of the films plus interviews with many of the makers (thanks to Jan, Alan Colegrave/Alistair Biggar, Tom & Celia and maybe others) have now appeared on www.biaff.org.uk.
Willy will be interested that theres a lengthy interview with Werner & Francis.

I should also add that the event was subsdised by the IAC and the ticket cost me a mere five pounds - which included 2 x tea/coffe and biscuit intervals plus a decent plated ploughmans and cakes made by Joy Prosser. Whilst I don't need to explain what £5 buys to anyone reading this I just thought I'...

I enjoyed another SERIAC Festival yesterday afternoon at the Oast Theatre in Tonbridge, Kent. Like This year's BIAFF this is a proper theatre with raked seating (SERIAC has been ahead of BIAFF in this respect of for many years!). Keith Sayers and his team are to be congratulated on excellent project...

Even stranger as a blank BD is 25GB or 50GB as a double layer. Good point Tom. Just thought I'd check my own system (Win 10 but same model Pioneer drive) If I put a blank, unformatted BD-R (write once) single layer into my system (Win 10) it shows as capacity 22.5GB, with 22.5GB free. If I put one ...

It seems possible. At this stage I'd take it up with Pioneer or your supplier.

Sorry for wasting your time, Tim

Absolutely not a waste of time, Peter. I missed out one of the possible causes (my fault for assuming you were running a more recent version of Windows)

Hi Peter. Yes, each of my suggestions could also correlate with your statement about DVDs. Apart from the fact that they use the similar technology to read and write, they are not the same. (For a start DVDs use red laser light and BluRays use blue) so it is quite feasible that a DVD will be recogni...

Peter, I have that very same BluRay re-writer (in fact it's the second one I've had - the other is in my "spare" PC. I've never had any issue reading Blurays from members of Staines or other clubs (I've never actually tried a commecrcial BluRay in it [EDIT: I have now and the PC reads it although I ...

First can I echo what has been said already here about Tom`s excellent advice on catching the judges` eye and his insight into his judging methods. Perhaps you could send this on to be published in FVM? Already suggested. I did think that "Bite Off" was by far the best comedy and couldn`t understan...

Some brilliant posts, Tom! I'd encourage you to submit the main one explaining the "human/practical" side of judging to FVM for a wider audience than those here (where you are, to some extent, preaching to the converted). My comments about THE SWIMMING POOL weren't intended as a defence, indeed I se...
