Shameless plug! :oD You just forgot to say this great works has
your signature :D
Didn't want to be seen as spamming the list :-) even though I think
I've only mentioned it once in two years. Can never be too safe!
As long as the cat's out of the bag, I want to say that the DVD is
"purist-safe". I used real Amiga hardware to make the DVD, going so
far as to purchase a broadcast scan converter, use the raw RGB output
of all Amigas, calibrating levels along the way. Any noise left over
as part of the process was corrected digitally in 10-bit space. Since
most of the footage was PAL, I converted to NTSC using motion
synthesis avisynth scripts that generated new frames based on
inbetweens (ie. no stupid frame blending or duplication) and cleaned
up conversion errors by hand. I'm really proud of the work and I
know it would stand up to the scrutiny of most people here on the list.
I will shamelessly say it is a great DVD. I'll probably need to take
another look through it tomorrow. I also have the PC demo DVD, which is
my favorite.
Will there be another disc? I'm not really pushing for one, but I'm curious.
Cheers,
Pontus
