LJ hates me and will not recognize anything I do. See. Watch.

I just started a new paragraph. I bet LJ is acting like I didn't. Bitch. How do I fix this?

ETA: So fine - LJ just hates my last post. But the format is the same as always. I don't get it and. I need candy.

Oh thank you! That's great news! *big sigh of relief* :)

I can definitely guarantee that there will be no one involved in the making of SV at this congerence *g* -- just a mix of fans and esoteric academic types.

How shall I cite you as vidder or should I just leave it anonymous? I'll do whatever you are most comfortable with.

Hmmm... As far as quality goes, well, the quality is actually pretty good on the copy I downloaded from your site, but I guess better quality is better...the real issue is a) sadly I don't have a DVD burner (and, yes, I'm last minuting this, I leave for the conference this afternoon) and b) I'm not even sure they are going to have hook up to a projector so I might even just be showing it on my laptop. Last time I showed a vid (Forked's, that I mentioned) I did just show it on my laptop, and it was fine. I doubt that our audience will be all that large.

Still, you know, it's possible that someone there might have a DVD burner, or perhaps they will have equipment that plays svcd (a regular dvd player won't play that, right?) Hmmm....

Well, I guess at the very least if you do have a higher quality version just to play on my computer, and you think that would be better, then by all means send me that. How could I get it from you?

Sorry to be a) technologically clueless and b) completely last minuting all of these logistics. I had these two conferences on top of each other, and I'm just reeling from it.

Thanks so much! I am so excited to be able to close my talk with your vid.

cheers!

Well - some DVD players will play SVCDs and most will play VCDs -- I could run an mpg of the file though and send that - it will play on your laptop or could be burned to CD-R and play on most DVD players. I think.

The file will be about 50-100 mbs though - so I don't know how much free space you will have on your laptop... I can IM the file to you over AIM - my userid is sidthedogfaceboy and if you let me know what time you will be online (I'm on Eastern Standard Time) we could try to do an electronic file transfer. Of course, if you think that the wmv from the site is fine, then by all means use it - I understand how it is trying to get everything together and have time run out. I am very happy that you think my vid will be useful in your presentation.

::is happy::

ooh hmm that sounds like it could be very god (the mpg that could be burned to cdr and play on most dvd players) -- the room isn't a problem i definitely have space on my computer. but the one problem is that i have never been able to get file transfer to work on my im. my im userid is lolitaluthor, and i'm on often, i'm on right now, actually :) and i will be on again late tonight after i get to the hotel, maybe after nine or ten?

is there some way other than file transfer that i could get it from you? any way you could temporarily put it up on your site? or i guess we could have you put it up temporarily on my site.

thanks again! i am so excited to show your vid...i have watched it so many times now and it just keeps getting better. i just adore it :)

Well, thank you about the vid. Um - looks like an mpg will be just under 50mbs and I'll try to upload it to my site tonight. I'll email you the URL.

Oh that's excellent :)

and hmmm, i meant it would be good, not god. Excuse the typos, I'm out of my head frantically trying to be ready to leave for this confernce.

Thanks again!

Thanks! I downloaded it and it looks great! I've yet to try to burn it, but hopefully that won't be a problem. If not I'lll just show it on my laptop -- it looks beautiful in this higher definition copy and my screen is a decent size.

My talk is tomorrow! *is a little nervous* I'll definitely let you know how it goes. So far everyone I've met at this conference is a slasher, though no SV people--but maybe we'll make some SV recruits through my talk and your vid! *g*

cheers!
