I think an iso would be a better option from some aspects as it gives you the ability to put a nice front end menu on it, and stuff (not that there's going to be much) and it gives the downloader the ability to create a DVD with the minimum of fuss.

Those that want to view it on their PC can either burn it to disc anyway, or use an iso mounter to view it, or even just extract the avesq.dat (or whatever its called) and rename it to a mpg file to view it, depending on how computer literate they are.

Although having the option of either/both would be nice too

Brian-

Cool mix of riding and nice music selection as usual. Where was der Uber Coker? You need a key feature like that if you want to stay in business. In fact, where was I? You film Tim but not me? What's up with that? I'm a way flashier dresser than Tim.

I couldn't get any sound using wmv. It worked great with AVS DVD player and with PowerDVD. Naturally, QuickTime doesn't recognize it. I probably have other software that will play it as well. I'll have to try burning it on something and playing it on the DVD player now. Something's bound to work. I may try Ivan's approach and just burn the mpeg onto a CD and try it in my player. It plays CD's and MP3 files.

I don't know what's the best way to distribute video files. If you send .iso files folks will have to use some kind of virtual DVD ROM like Daemon Tools to play it on their computer or they'll have to burn it. I haven't found a way around that with .iso files yet but Daemon Tools is free. Iso files are ready to burn to DVD though and will play on NTSC systems.

Thanks for experimenting with this sales approach. It will be interesting to see how it pans out. Been bowling lately with anyone who doesn't cheat?

Tim exhibited some talent when it came to riding unicycles, so he made it in the movie, you only look hot in a lady's bikini, so you only got hidden in TWNR.

The uber still has a place in the ride the lobster movie, should you be interested in getting it in there

I was able to burn a video CD from the mpeg file using Nero. I have an OEM version of Nero without the DVD plugin. As a result, I am only able to get a 352x240 4:3 image even though the mpeg is 720x480 16:9. I was able to get a full resolution waterstamped .avi file burned onto a CD using AVS DVDtoGO. Both of these CD's were playable on my DVD player and I can watch them on the boob tube. The first one of course has low resolution and the second one of course has a waterstamp.

I know that with some other software this can be done. I just don't have the free software that I need. If any of you video geniuses know what I want (the genius part means that you do, in fact, know what I want) and can recommend a free and intuitive to use package, please let me know. If you think you know what I want but in fact don't really know what I want, please don't respond and send me off after some software that will allow me to watch this video on my computer which I can already do 17 different ways.

Sorry for your troubles greg,

tonight i will have 3 versions ready to download

.mpg

m2v + .wav

.iso

I have to pay for the bandwidth use, so if anyone of you who already DL'd the movie and it doesn't work for you somehow, PM me and I will send you the file of your choice, starting tonight, people can DL the format of their choosing

Hey. Are you sure you want to go to that trouble yet? You might want to find out what most people want first. Maybe I'm the only one who wants to use a home DVD player and is too dumb or cheap to be able to do it. I think you are onto a good marketing scheme but making every imaginable format available may not be cost effective.

i disagree, making any 1 of 3 versions availavle for download seems to be the best way to do it, and each person can download the version they want.

i think that's the best way.
and they will be up tonight

OK, my brutha. How do I go about getting an iso version if I have deleted my download link? I figured it was a one shot deal anyway so I trashed it. Hey, I'll trade you my mpeg version for an iso version next time you're in Seattle.

are you sure you don't want this on a record?

i'll upload different formats for any previous downloaders if they desire (but if they are happy with what they got already, that would be helpful)

[harper]

I would like to have a 78rpm vinyl version if it's possible.

You know, I'm not just some tart who looks good in a girl's swimsuit. I'm a registered level 4 unicycle rider. Show me the respect that I deserve and that I have earned.

I'm happy with what I've got. I've burned a few versions and downloaded some trial software so I'm wasting time and having fun. Now I'll sell all of my unsatisfactory CD's. Actually I used a RW so I could fail over and over and over again.

Are you going to put a thread in either the video or trading post forum so it doesn't disappear so fast?

Where's der Uber Coker? Does Ryan still have it?

I guess it counts if I want to trade money for a video

I haven't seen the Uber since Darren was going to get it to Ryan

There is now an .iso available to DL

(550mb)

[harper]

Brian-

Thanks for the .iso file. That makes things too easy. Ultimately, I found that ULead still makes their full-blown authoring program available in a 30 day trial. You can do pretty much anything you want with it. No waterstamps, no abbreviated files, no limited conversion time, and all of their standard features.

Instead, I just took your .iso file and used DVDDecrypt to burn it to a DVD RW in about 3 minutes. It took longer to download than that.

How long can we keep up this conversation and shamelessly bump this thread before people realize you're paying me off?
