Crimson Echoes DVD Project officially underway!
« on: January 14, 2010, 05:28:51 am »
Hello Chrono Compendium, long time no talk!

Just wanted to let you all know that I have officially began the Crimson Echoes DVD Project, I have a test version of Disc 1 (the first 19 vids and some bonus vids) that I am encoding right now to see how it is going to look on an actual DVD player, and then I can begin SUBTITLES!

I will post as soon as the project is done with info on where to download it. I have a server I am going to try to place the torrents on, but I won't be able to seed it for too long due to the bandwidth limits and space limits it has.

Thanks for your time everyone!

Sweet! Thank you for your effort.  :D

One thing though... subtitles? What for? Or would it be subtitled in different languages so other people can enjoy Crimson Echoes?

Oh sorry, forgot to clarify. :-) The subtitles are actually going to be the YouTube annotations in the original videos, of the team talking about the game and stuff.  :D

Oh excellent! I love the commentary JP(mainly) and the others gave, IMHO; it's a great addition and really felt like I was watching the videos with the CE team.

Well, I was hoping someone with the necessary skills and knowledge would be willing to do this. I salute you NickyT, and I will be waiting for your awesome contribution.

Thanks once again.  :D

No problem, I feel glad to give back to the community finally! :-) I have a test version of the DVD burned, and will be testing it out over the coming days to see if I can bump up the quality and what not.

Wow, thanks for the work NickyT! So only 19 videos fit on a single DVD...I wonder when the Collector's Set will be out!  :D

Hehe definitely! I am probably going to release them all at once, I am going for sizing it down to 3 DVD's.

I still have some compression tricks and re-encoding to do, I am going to see if I can get better quality and/or lower size without sacrificing too much. I also want to re-encode the audio, as it is choppy in parts where the actual emulator audio was playing. It plays awesome in VLC, but not in WMP11.

The menu's are looking pretty cool though, I will post screenshots when I can! :-)

Perhaps they could play as equally awesome in MP4, or even AVI format.

Yeah, I agree.  The subtitles are a really nice touch to the videos.  Glad they're being added.

Looking forward to its initial release... and the subsequent conniption fit of Squeenix in response.

Hehe :-D

I'm just hoping that maybe it'll help Squeenix show that even though they are trying to keep the Chrono franchise on the backburner, that there are still Chrono fans out there, and that even though they C&D'd the game, there are still people who love it!

Funny that you say that FW, it's actually on my Zune right now! I let it encode overnight one night and it's one of the best things to ever set foot on my HDD of my Zune. :-D

Zune???

Whatcha smokin' there?  Last I checked, almost nobody uses a Zune.

Trust me when I say that you're better off with Podcasts that Zunecasts.

Yes, yes, a thousand times YES!

This could really become a real DVD featuring all sorts of extras, I know it's easier said than done, but you got the commentary so far, the interviews are the next step, and then... who knows?

If it matters at all, I give my thumbs up for the interview idea.
