Latest digital video guides:

As promised, this is my first of many workflows guides. I'll update this thread as I add more. So far, I have these planned out:
  • MPEG-2 for DVD
  • MPEG-2 with a DVD recorder
  • MPEG-2 for Blu-ray
  • AVI for restoration
  • AVI for editing
  • H.264 for streaming
Any more suggestions for workflows?

Note that I will not be doing one for "H.264 for Blu-ray" at this time, as our workflows all start from tapes. H.264 Blu-ray is not for that source. It's mostly used for downloading stuff, and other programs can do that in one pass.

This guide supercedes this older one: http://www.digitalfaq.com/guides/vid...-workflows.htm

Trivia: Originally, that older guide was "How to Make Video the LordSmurf Way", something I wrote back in 2003.

That was quick, I ask for a guide and 1 minute later, there it is I'll look through it now.

Edit: good overview of the various programs to use, gives an outline of the workflow, exactly as you said. I'm sure people will appreciate the list of recommended programs and hardware. Thanks for contributing your knowledge back to the community, and congratulations on coming back to your beloved hobby

I already had to make a small revision.

Part of that intro was meant for another guide.

That might be something on your end. I've cleared the site cache, just in case.
Look again. What do you see now?

Making new guides is never simple.

I'm sure its my end I just can't figure it out..I'm now on yet another pc, guide looks the same as it did before. I can still see it and everything..it looks good its just something that has never worked for me since visiting this site..so I'm almost positive its my end. I can't even get to the forum from the front page -> http://i.imgur.com/JYUWzDT.png but I don't wanna take away from LS's guide so I'll keep testing it when I remember and see if I can pinpoint the problem.

So it's just not working on ONE computer, correct? Not both?

- If it's both, I need to know ASAP. There's a server issue.
- If it's just the one, then it's local. Just dump the browser cache. (Not saved passwords, history, etc -- just cache, saved local site files.)

Firefox, Tools > Options >

You may be caching one of our older files.

Hold down "shift" and click the reload button (all the way on the right of the URL bar). That will force a full page reload and not pull anything from the cache.

I ran it through browsershots.org. We've got some screwy font issues on Debian/Ubuntu and FreeBSD, but that's it. I need to add more fonts to the CSS is all. All of the Windows, Mac, and CentOS/RHEL browsers are fine. So it's definitely a local issue, maybe with a browser plugin you're using. (I had to stop using Ghostery for this very reason -- it was messing with sites. The new version is fubar.)

Anyway, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'd rather have a false alarm, as opposed to an unreported error. Right now we are changing lots of code for this site, to make many improvements. We go slow on purpose, to test everything on dev servers first. Then after 2-3 tests, and can recreate it without issue, we do it on the main server. But even after all that trying to be careful, stuff can happen.

Thanks!
