Pete and Repete
Friday, August 21, 2009Pete and Repete were sitting on a wall. Pete fell off—who was left?
That about explains today. Yesterday I was proofing our new DVD (Stranger Interactive Edition), a 4 hour long disc containing 110 different video clips, that will be included in the back of a specially marked The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus book. I watched the whole thing, but decided to update the very last one because it had the old, red Stranger book cover and needed to be updated to the new brown version. Two small subtitle / Closed Caption fixes as well. No problem, just fix the video, re-encode and re-master the DVD.
Well, for some unknown reason, that DVD Authoring file crashed on me. No problem, I have a backup. That crashed as well. Tried again with an older version (works fine until the changes are made and—CRASH!) And that’s how yesterday ended, it wasn’t an upnote, but a chance to again realize I’m just a small payer in this game of life, so managed to look on the bright side of things.
Today I tried this and that, and finally decided to re-do the whole authoring process. The first time I built this dvd, it took 4 days. The second (after the file crashed) it only took 1 day. So, my goal today is to have that finished again. But we shall see… come 10:30, I realized Lloyd and Faith weren’t coming in, so I have to pack orders and stuff. The day is still young…
Should I mention that I had this DVD completed 2 years ago? For some reason we never got it published, but now is the time for that. The fight is on.
Oh, in case you want to see what’s involved with this, here’s a link to a post 2 years ago: http://www.krazycheck.com/index.php/site/article/07_06_13/
