Fandom...meet Random!

Wow...can't believe theres like 1 year before Iron Man 2 hits my eyeballs at the cinemas! The next couple of months are also looking pretty seck-see for films as well with the likes of T4, Transformers 2 & Star Trek.

But now its question time...is there anyone out there willing to do a little test burn for me?

Im pretty sure I already know the answer, but is there someone out there in NTSC Land who is willing to try burning some VOB files I’ve exported from my NLE to a playable DVD & let me know if it works? The test footage will be the first minute of Let It Rock & will be around 60 megs worth of download. Burning with Nero would be preferable, but any other program would be fine. I can arrange a small favour in return for your troubles if you like as well. Post a comment with your intent with an email address & I’ll take the first willing soul.

In other random news I’m not one of those people who play a lot of Facebook games/apps, but the one I do play is called My Heroes Ability. Very much like the TV show Heroes with its selection of powers (although you start with a random power)…mine has always been Electricity & I’ve based my character on an upcoming PS3 game called inFamous. At first I just used a still pic in my profile, but last year started work on using the actual trailers for the game as a “video origin story” for him. Going through my projects in an effort to free up HDD space I came across it & decided to finish it off. Not much effort went into it, it pretty much cut itself.



And speaking of random...


Check out this email I received a few days ago – I decided to do a screen cap instead of a cut n paste, because honestly its just so bizarre that I don’t think anyone would’ve believed me if it was just text.

Even the compliment on the Equilbrium video is bordering on the weird!

I'll give those VOB files a try. You can use my LJ email address (vchrusch@livejournal.com).

The letter: Huh? To quote Henry Rollins: "I declaration emergency!"

We're a Macintosh shop here, so we'd probably end up making a DVD out of DVD Studio Pro. The good news is that we could make it all-region. Let me know if you'd like for us to try. I'm unfamiliar with Nero. I'm assuming it's a popular overseas PC solution?

Thanks for the offer Al!

If you want to have a crack you are more than welcome, I've sent the link to the above poster but here it is for you:

Bear in mind they are PAL files, they should burn fine but I believe they will fail playback on a NTSC DVD player.

Been using Nero for years its always rock solid for me which is why I don't use anything else.

'Speciality Tracer' would make a damned fine name for a "My Heroes Ability" character.

So I take it you want me to send you an invite to the game on FB then? ;)

By the way the first part of my entry is so I can get cracking on sending you the DVD I promised if you hadn't already gathered...

"You got a thing for super heroes that are also anomalies or what?"

All signs would point to that conclusion, wouldn't it! ;)
