My sad attempt at creating an FAQ:



How long does it take to finish one of those videos?

Bullet Usually, a 2 hour video takes me 4 weeks to finish. However, depending on how life interferes, it can take much more or a little less time.

Where can I buy those DVDs?

Bullet Nowhere. I don't sell DVDs for two reasons: First of all, this is not meant to be a business and I don't want to spend what little time I have running a business, producing DVDs and mailing them out all the time. Also, I don't want to compete with the official convention DVDs.

You keep on using old divx codecs. Why?

Bullet I want to provide video clips everyone can watch without having to upgrade their system. In my experience, a slightly outdated divx codec is what works flawlessly on most systems. Of course, some people will always have problems watching the clips, but in my experience, this is a way to keep that number very low. Apparently, even Linux and Mac don't have a problem with these.
