Well, my 0.2 cents worth is like this..
You got a user who's ben there and done it all, and heard it all, and in the
end, gave it up, all. I mean, the arguments of who can fit the most on a
single CDR media ext. It's ben argued and argued times over. Also, thanks
in part to these arguments, that whenever someone hears about kVCD.net
news and excitements and including acheavements, the first thing they do
out of common practice (based on past times arguments on this subject)
is gangsay/dismis/deny or whatever.
Another issue w/ the disbeliefe is the fact that after viewing some of the
samples, they probably found then unworthy of their expectations. They
left out an impotant fact though, here:
1 - The processes and techniquest as well as "quality" obtained, are in flux
.....and changing every day (or so) So, what looked good to us last week,
.....and not so good them, last week, will probably look better to us, today,
.....while to those, still not so good. Because they've already got in their
.....mind that it sucks!! Which may very well be true (to them, per their
.....specification level)
2 - The main goal/objective here (based on my assumption) is to get as much
.....on a CD, but still maintain some good (if not better) quality than would
.....otherwise be possible through "previous" methods and processes. And,
.....we all know (inlcluding myself) how we all started w/ those same methods
.....basic or advanced or whatever. Most of us have all ben their. I'm
.....talking about VCD and SVCD.
3 - Because of the stuberness, they loose out on what could actually be the
.....best "key" in obtaining: more bank for buck, and more qualtiy per CD.
.....THey really are missing something here. Blind are they!! I'm happy
.....to say, I not blind. I take advantage of new ideas, even if they
.....sound crazy or far-fetched. I give them a try or two or three or .. ..
.....LOL, they gave up so easily. Wrong move.
4 - They fail to see what is truely going on w/ things here. ie, the MAS.
.....Even though some of these peoplese are doing some variation, they the
....."round circles" to insult the objective of the MAS (among other things)
.....and even though they are doing the same thing, only w/ different filtering
.....and things, LOL
5 - Jealousy.
6 - Just because a portion of those here are seeking to fit 90-120 minutes or
.....more even, on a given CDR, doesn't mean that we've failed because the
.....so called "Quality" level is not w/in "their" guidelines. Again, they
.....missed the point. ie, Those here, that do try and squeeze soo much on
.....a CDR (at the expense of quality) KNOW THAT !! The key here, is that
.....fact that we CAN squeeze that much on a CDR, and still maintain some
.....decent quality while at it, if not better. Many variables here. MANY.
7 - Those that gave up on just the samples alone, made the first and last
.....mistake. They gave up. They got it into their heads that if they got
.....the so called same level of (poor qality they judged it as such) they
.....through in the towal and made fun of our efforts.
8 - IMO, there are two goals here. a) is to push as much content onto a
.....CDR and b) maintain good quality (or as much as) W/ that in mind, the
.....next step, is knowing your advantages. Quick example, w/ the same so
.....called mocked templates/settings etc., used on say, a 120 minute movie,
.....may not look as good to those w/ insuficient satisfaction, and give up,
.....but if they tried the same (roughly speaking) on a 90 minute movie,
.....think of the possiblies if they stuck with it, and EXPERIMENTED
.....with the templates. What about if there's no action
and or if what
.....etc etc. Note, this "goal" I mentioned is my opinion only.
.....I bet they all are back to doing the same old, same old and still no
.....satisfied with their efforts. We may be in this same boat, but at
.....least we changed the scenary a bit
and have broader alternatives.
I could go on and on and on, but I tend to talk forever. And, the
Admin
does not have the bandwidth to handle it (nor the shuvel hehe)
I don't know anymore. I just don't know. I remember when back in the
day, I started out on this venture Mar/2001 and never seen such Jealousy
and Envy and Bashing and so on and so forth w/ the various methods and
processes used to obtain best quality or best whatever! Everyone all
shared in the various methods. Today, it's a whole different ball game.
I say, if people want to continue doing what they do best, let them. We
would do better, to ignore them and move onwards.
My two cents worth.
