I was slighty worried but I read lots of posts from people who tried it without problems. There is currently a hacked 1.33 firmware but when I did mine I used 1.3 Have a look at this forum : http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=12632 Other useful links : http://forum.rpc1.org/ http://pioneerdvd.rpc...

What about if you took a plastic lemonade bottle, cut it in half and then slid on half back into the other half ? Maybe using sticky tape to seal the join.

The same as a kinder suprise container but bigger !!

That's it. Rub it in. You got it 20 quid cheaper! What DVD-Rs are you going to use? I can recommend Samsung BeAll and Datawrite Classics. For data stuff everything has worked just fine. As I mentioned before the only probs I have had are with my standalone player. I flashed my drive with the hacked ...

For computer hardware I tend to buy stuff from either

Dabs

or

eBuyer

They are always good value for money.

Right, I'm eating Kinder eggs for lunch tomorrow !!

Fairly easy to do in Premiere. Prepare a picture of your movie screen. Stick it in video track 1A or 1B. Stick your movie in track 2. Right click on your movie in the timeline and select 'video options > 'motion'. Click the 'center' button to center the start position. Select the end position and cl...

Dazman, you are truely evil. But we like your style. In a charred burnt mess sort of way

If the firewire card is PCMCIA then yes. I think firewire is propably a good option in your case because you could also use the hard drive in a desktop PC in the future if required ... or in other laptops. If you bought an internal drive it would be expensive and you may never be able to use it in a...

You'd probably be ok using something like aerosol ... its just if it did go wrong the consequences would be very bad. IF you did do it just make sure you've got a big tub of water and a few mates with buckets so they can drown you with water at a moments notice. In this case safety outways footage b...

Wasn't me!

Do you want to convert from NTSC VOB to PAL VOB or to PAL VideoCD ? Is the original VOB on a DVD or on your hard drive? I'm asking because the following site : dvdrhelp.com DVD Ripping Guides has an extensive list of tutorials on this subject but which tutorial you use will depend on the answers to ...

Yeah, that animation was borrowed from AlamDV. It isn't that great so any other animations would be gratefully received. For our next project we are going to create animations in a 3D package on a scene-by-scene basis. So we weren't going to worry about them too much until the film is almost complete.

Definitely would not recommend that. No matter how hard you try or plan it only takes seconds to give yourself serious burns.

This is one case where CG is going to be much better. Real fire would look more realistic .... but then so would the skin peeling off your bones !

Once you've got your footage on the PC, Premiere will let you cut it up however you want. If there are scenes or shots you don't want you can trim them out.

Well done Ornsack! Will give you something to stick on the front cover of the DVD.

All you need now is a quote from the Daily Mirror.

What other awards did they give out? How did the other films do?

I'm downloading it. My net connection is a bit slow today so it's only downloading at 20kb/s

I'll let you know when I've watched it.

I think I am going to have to order the brain mould ... Brain Mold from Archie McPhee If you are a UK taxpayer don't worry about Adam's statement above. He actually SAVES the NHS money by performing most of his own operations. If there is something he can't handle with a pair of pliers or a stanley ...

Amateur Movie Portal

This contains various tutorials for a range of software including 3D Studio Max, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere, Blender, Bryce, Final Cut Pro, LightWave, Media Studio Pro, particleIllusion and Terragen.

I think they are sometimes referred to as 'potato bazookas'. Quite popular in Germany according to some of the sites I found.

Grant, why don't you do a tutorial on your site of how to make one

Cheers, I hadn't heard that Adobe were releasing a DVD package. I'll look out for it in the summer. Managed to get DVD-Rs to play in my standalone player. It only seems to like the DVD if it contains a full discs worth of data. My test DVD only contained a few Mb of video. Once I wrote a disc with l...

Wow. That was very good. It was just like being back in the Matrix. I've escaped once, I don't ever want to go back ...

Ulead DVD Movie Factory is fairly good for creating menus for both VCD, SVCD and DVD.

I think you can get a trial version from the Ulead site.

Not sure about animated intros. Have a look at Xara Cool3D.
