It ends…

I’ve finished all the Chapters. I’m currently stringing it all together, and will make the ending credits. The rendering alone should take an entire night, so I will try to finish this for tonight so that the WMV file is ready tomorrow. I forsee staying up until 3AM.

The 320×280 WMVs are of a lower quality than the native 640×480 MPG files… Need to find a distribution method for the bigger files, but I can’t possibly afford the insane amount of bandwidth that would require. Torrents is a good idea, but I need many seeders for it to work.

I might distribute the high-quality file to a few people who would volunteer to seed. Mind you there’s also me figuring out how to turn my computer into a Bittorrent tracker (I think I’ve got the hang of it though).

Either way the low quality version should be available via this site tomorrow.

It is currently 11:32AM Wednesday. I’ve just finished re-recording the footage for computer upgrades (the footage I took yesterday was dissapointing; so I decided to start from scratch) and am now in the process of converting all those .mov files to .avi; as the video editing solution I use can’t correctly render the audio of the mov files.

EYNTO is finally coming to an end.

Finished Chapter 13 – DVD Ripping. Took quite a while as I was doing actual ripping sessions which required hours. Next up: Hardware Upgrading (filmed some footage this morning; more tomorrow) and end credits (also needs footage)!

“The Crunch” is a term used by video-game studios to refer to the time nearing the end of a particular project when the development team spends insane hours on completing their work. I am going through my own such period trying to complete the EYNTO Show. I spent 9 hours today on it (!) and was able to finish Chapter 12.

Next up: Chapter 13 (DVD Ripping). Interesting note: There are 3,034 files across 187 folders in the EYNTO directory on my computer. 6.21GB of material; mostly from the voice work, video screen captures, images used. Camera footage is only 1GB.

New Firefox (1.0.3) Vulnerability out which allows one to create .bat files remotely. This signifies that one could make your computer upload documents to an FTP server (series of commands) in addition to the whole “delete your root directory” thing.

Click on the link [link removed] for a demo that will create a directory on your C:\ drive called “jmcardleFF”.

edit: ehh… ain’t working. Anywho, check on the source anyways :p
