I don't think so. Xvid is just an open source codec.

Another great episode! Nice work!

[Note: I do not get any money or renumeration of any kind for the fawning review I give to the makers of The.Scene (I don't even know any of them). I'm just a fan and wanted to share their work with other tech-savvy independent filmmakers.] If you haven't already heard about it, I suggest you...

I'm on PC. I'll have to try PowerDVD. Thanks for the tip.

Okay, I know this is a goofy question (and will be anathema to any film purists who believe that movies should only be watched as the filmmaker intended). But does anyone have any advice on DVD or video software that would allow a user to watch the film at 1.5x (or more) speed? I am looking...

Happy to vouch for Michael, he worked on my short film Justice Patrol. Did a fantastic job and I hope I can work with him again in the future!

Old but still alive. I am still in the process of deciding how best to do this film so any ideas or notes are appreciated!

Hello, all. I'm looking for the big brains around here to help spark some ideas. If you planned to release your movie on DVD exclusively (with little possibility of ever having to project it), what would you capture on for lowest cost and highest image quality? miniDV, HD, S16mm, 35mm? I...

Congratulations!

Well, I am sad to say that this project has died on the vine. After working for several months on a very simple but promising prototype, the programmer decided that he did not have the level of interest to continue the project. I don't have the programming skills to pursue this, unfortunately...

Clive, Excellent thread, I love the idea of a DIY distribution chain. The main problem I see is getting butts into seats. Not the first time, that should be no problem. It's the 10th and 25th time I'm worried about. What's the hook here? It's an easy sell for filmmakers (get distribution...

Hello, everyone. I am selling my copy of Movie Outline 2.0. The software was mentioned in a thread recently and I decided to give it a try. The software works perfectly for what it does but I got a copy of StoryView from a friend and decided that StoryView does a bit more of what I need. But...

FYI, I applied for this last year but didn't get it. No sour grapes, though, I'm always happy to see independent artists get funding. If you do take the time to apply, make sure you take a look at some of the material they've funded in the past. My impression is that they are geared toward...

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks for the review, I'll have to try the demo. One of the struggles I always have across a feature-length screenplay is keeping track of a given character's growing/decreasing love/hate/resolve and the scenes that show that arc. Would you say this helps keep track of that sort of thing? Or...

My first chance to see Mann is Driving and I really enjoyed it! Nice work!

shirleyb, First, congratulations on making your film, much less getting someone interested in it! That's wonderful news and I hope we can all end up with your problems! Here's my two cents: If you were going to make the film no matter what and you have a specific way you want it made (in...

Indie, The developer I've been working with got busy with the holidays. I am hoping that he'll be able to get back to it soon. I will definitely update you when I have anything. Thanks for your interest!

I am a little fuzzy on the concept of the digital intermediate. Is it basically a digital version of the conformed negative? Would you then film out to create IP/IN to strike prints from (assuming you were finishing on film)? Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help, Clive. If you (or anyone else) can bear with me for a while longer, I just want to make sure I understand the concept. Let's say I have a short film shot on 35mm and have decided to stay on digital (no film print at the end of the process). I have my 35mm negative...
