Paul - nothing's infinite. When you pop a DVD into your computer's drive and click on 'copy', the player attempt to read every single digit, from the menu pages and music used, the audio compression and subtitles, the date it was made, the end titles, both layers and all the chapter points. These ar...

[quote="billyfromConsett"][quote=If your movie is sent on a DVD, and for any reason copied onto another DVD before being shown- ie analogue to analogue - it will obviously suffer a degenerative quality hit..[/quote] Quite untrue Billy. A DVD copy of a DVD is a perfect copy. They're both digital. The...

WE = the different festival for independent filmmakers from everywhere. The motto GELD SPIELT KEINE ROLLE (~money is not an issue/it's only money)is...

I've been at the Video Forum these last couple of days and took my Z1 with me to film through different converter lenses. It's a great place to do things like this - with so much under one roof. I've given today a miss though - I'm sure there's the wrong type of snow on the tracks and my train would...

What's the latest on making DVDs to send to the USA, good people? I send perfectly normal PAL tapes to my brother in NTSC Canada and he tells me they play perfectly well on his kit. His latest buy is a Sanyo TV with an inbuilt DVD player, and that too plays my PAL discs perfectly. But that may just ...

Here's a question for the competition teams out there - would the organisers rather have the filmmakers enter their masterpieces as DVDs or tape? I think we can discount VHS and Super-8 now, but I'm thinking that having the word 'tape' on the competition application form can bring you in all sorts o...

Willy, a pretty please for more paragraphs in your most interesting posts, as multi-paragraphing makes it a lot easier to read off screen than when it's all one big blob.

You've been asked to sit in judgement, Col. You've got to be as impartial as is possible. Whatever your views on the subject matter, leave them at home. You're there to sit in judgement of the film in its own rights, not to worry about censorship. Leave that to others; they're leaving the technical ...

[quote="Peter"]I know, I was only joking, but I'm sure the Archers is made up, it's such crap![/quote]

Yup. The Archers sure is made up. It's certailnly not real.

[quote="Willy"] 7 or 8 years ago I showed a bull fighting scene in Arles in my film. One of the judges told me that he had given me bad marks because of the killing scene. What do you think about this ? Willy[/quote] What do I think about this? I'm thinking one of two things. First your filming of t...

The thought is that we could abandon the IAC General and NLE email groups (the General is very little used anyway) and all meet up here instead. At least this way we'd all meet in the same place. I've met people on the email groups who don't even know that Speak Out exists, and vice versa, so having...
