If you get me the final DVD, I've got some software that will let me get the raw MPEG streams from the .VOB files easily, then I can convert to WMV or whatever that can be posted to the web.
Huge MPEG files convert fairly well to much smaller 640x480 WMVs, so I could even send out the files on CD to anyone who's interested.
Only one who has to work hard is my CPU :wink:

As a side note though, if anyone has a song they would like featured in their video intro, drop me a note. If you have the music file send it too, that will help! I can use most music formats also.

Thanks again for the offers to help! :D


I'd like to demand that only songs from Pink Floyd "The Wall" be used on your videos :) For obvious reasons of course.

PS - Well maybe if it's not obvious to you non-Pink Floyd enthusiasts, "Momma Won't Let Anyone Dirty Get Through" is a line in the song "Mother" on "The Wall".

Well, obviously :lol:

Yeah, the song 'Mother' will be used for the DVD menu and in the highlight vid, but for the driver's vids I would like to leave it up to the drivers to personalize their experience 8)

We don't pay you enough Ash :)

I think you should start a donation fund for your new hard-drive. I'm sure others have enjoyed your efforts enough to pony up $5 or $10 for your equipment expenses!

:D I will give that some consideration. For now, we're all good. I needed a new backup drive anyway, this was a convenient excuse to go ahead with it. :D

From wikipedia:

Quote:
"Turning Japanese" was often rumoured to be a euphemism for excessive masturbation, and the subject of the song. This is based on the perception that people make a face where they squint their eyes and curl their lips to expose the upper incisors during masturbation and orgasm, resembling the stereotypical image of a Japanese person. Although Dave Fenton viewed it as a love song when writing it, he would alternately confirm and deny the rumours in interviews


for an illustration, see the dash plaque below:
