Well, that was fun. XP

I am going to email the dkids address about the interview, and I'll let you skeptics(I'm sure there are a few of you) know how it goes. =3

Omoshiroi..

Survey sent! Neat little thing that survey is. I'm surprised to find a group interested in Anime, since it isn't as mainstream, though it's picking up alot of popularity lately (even if most of the fans were picked up from watching anime that had been cut down to 7+ age level, so now alot of ppl think anime is for kids, which is REALLY not the truth, and i hate it when ppl think they are the same as cartoons, which they aren't.. > >)

Do you mean people who upload to youtube/googlevideo etc.? or who actually post in on their own sites implying that it is their own work?

pictures Just don't try google images or anything like that.....
I didn't mean those kinds of pictures.

I'm still not sure what you meant, LOL.

(sorry my last post got garbled somehow. Meant youtube/googlevideo)

Just ignore Lyrs, everyone else does.

As for your last post, no, it didn't get garbled. It ran afoul of one of the word filters.

You know the great thing about surveys? They rarely if ever have a way to tell when you're lying your ass off.

You're not supposed to - You shouldn't do that if you just wanna goof - it'll throw off her results.

you know "downloaded from the internet" doesnt necessairly mean p2p-illegal-KaZaA crap, there are legal ways to download media from the internet without all the fuss of being illegal...

Napster, Itunes ect.. i mean you PAY for the items you download so legally they are just as much yours as buying a CD or a DVD

Good point. What paid services should I know about wrt anime downloads?

i dont know what this means... get the anime in it licenced? or get the amv itself licenced, and how would one go about doing getting an amv licenced?
CAN you get an AMV licenced? and what does it mean to licence an AMV?

O.o this question confuses me, im not sure what it means :/

Sorry, this was obscure but there are some anime that have been commissioned/permissioned so that is what this was getting at.

yea i think someone mentioned it before Magix is a "big" deal around here, but yet I've never heard of these programs...

...

i think this was already mentioned, but this entire section is centered around "containers" and not "codecs"...

so when you say DIVX or XVID you really mean like .DIVX?
does XVID have a container? or are you talking about the actual codec used in .avi container?

O.o

Am starting to understand these distinctions after being slapped around a bit on these forums (> <;;

<grin> Thanks for the feedback!
