damn damn damn damn for being away when it counts.. There'd have been several little things about those transitions I would have wanted to improve or done a bit differently ^_^'

I don't have the FTP address/login information. Could you PM me that stuff?

Yeah I'll send you the ftp info, still uploading the thing.
The connection timed out last nite...

Fox, simple transitions.. No worries at least I didn't use starwipes.

Wondering: are we doing the avatar-in-the-corner thing, which seems to be common to many of these compilation projects? I'm cool with or without it, but thought I'd throw in the idea.

Umm.. no man ,but, thanks for the suggestion..
Doing the credits at the end thing

Don't worry I took painstaking efforts to make sure everyone is credited.

I hope you still have everything, 'cause there's a bit of a problem with the Lagarith file.

Exhibit 1 (from the XviD Test file):

Nice, smooth edges, no problems.

Exhibit 2 (from the Lagarith file):

The edges have gone straight to Hell. Do they look like that in the fixed huffy? Some of the other segments look like Premiere had conflicting project and export settings as well.

Nope cleared away everything but the main huffy and the xvid
I didn't see any issues with the edges in my encode.
Also, I can't get you anthor copy cuase my bandwith probally can't
handle it therefore. I'll do the final encode and will leave out the subtitles.
I'll use lame for the audio and xvid on a hq setting..

Well, after fiddling with AviSynth a little, I was able to minimize the way those edges look. The downside to this, however, is that 1) I had to use Blur(0,1) and 2) I had to reduce the resolution to 512x384. But it does mean that I should be able to bang out something (heck, I was going to use 512x384 on the proposed AVC encode to push it down below 100 megs).

thanks man, If I wasn't limited by bandwith and or college taking up
my time I could have tried to send you a better encode. But, at a certin
time you gotta say it's done and do what you can. Nothing is prefect
therefore one must decide when to let something go and stand on
its own. Hope the encode looks awsome
