As I stated in my last post, suggest some ideas!! I am currently playing with a dark blue, but I am thinking about having arrows pointing to the option!

3. Most demos are cut off on the sides, the top and bottom on my widescreen TV. Don't know if this is a PAL/NTSC issue?

Still not sure about this as they look fine on my tv :/ I'll have to experiment and play with it. Maybe TMPG stretched the demos too far and they fill the screen, where the Amiga didn't use overscan (though with demos I reckon 95% did!)

4. The music ends abruptly on Despair in the middle of the demo.

Certainly does, demo is 5min23sec and music cuts out after 2min42secs so I will either re=eip this or replace it with one of the others on my HD (yes I have nearly 2 DVDs worth of demos ready

)

5. The 'Main Menu' option in Human Target is too small to read until you highlight it, after which a larger 'Main Menu' text appears above the smaller one instead of "resizing" it (or at least making the impression of it.)

This is really strange as all the dvd does is actually highlight whats already there :/

Anyway what I can fix has been done

Where can this DVD be d/led?

BippyM · 08 March 2005, 01:20

Nowhere yet, I have just replaced 2 damaged videos (Despair and 3D-Demo2) and I am now rendering the motion menus

I am hoping that the motion menus wont make the DVD too big for a standard disc!! it's gertting very, very close

If it does I'll have to cut a demo out (and include it on the next release) or remove the animated menus (Which I really, really like!!)

That's ok Bippy, I now have a pair of Dual-Layer DVD-RW drives, fill-er-up I say

BippyM · 08 March 2005, 02:49

prob with dual-layer DVD is the price of the media!

jmmijo · 08 March 2005, 03:17

I know what you mean, but I'm willing to pay for it to get quality demo's in return

BippyM · 08 March 2005, 03:25

If enough PPL are willing to pay I'll do the next volume on a DL disc. Would ppl rather have higher quality or more demos?

jmmijo · 08 March 2005, 06:29

Well I want both actually

Medvind · 10 March 2005, 05:12

Hey, nice to see that you're at it again bippym! I'm looking forward to the final product. And I too would actually pay a little for a DVD9 release, to cover the extra costs. I think most of the hardcore Amiga fans would actually.

And... err.. my ftp... comes... soon...

Hi, this DVD sounds like a great idea. Please tell me you have the whole of the Phenomena enigma demo on there, that was one of the best things Id ever seen! If you need a tester let me know, UK, got a robust dvd plaer, can also download + cut..

Cheers,

gaz.

Id definately say quality was the highest issue.. maybe you can have a few discs in each release. Id cetainly pay around £10..

BippyM · 12 April 2005, 06:01
