there are tools out there that make it so simple:
1. use anydvdhd or dvdfabhd to rip the files to hd.
2. use ripbot264 to select the m2ts file
3. convert it to what size mp4/mkv you want.
it does take about 12-20 hours to re-encode (3 year old dual core amd). i've found that h264 to h264 is faster than vc1 or mpeg2 to h264.
originally i used tsmuxer to demux the video/audio/subs, but one time, i, for whatever reason, tried the m2ts file directly and ended up saving a step in the process.
the military will continue to piss our tax dollars away instead of just doing it all in-house, which is where the majority of the stuff(weapons/vehicles/etc) should be done.
unless, of course, it causes some major retailers to not carry those games at all. then again, wishful thinking would have me to believe that since items will have to be restricted/purchased with an id, maybe more "ultraviolent or sexually violent video games" will become readily available, though it's highly unlikely, but that is mostly due to retarded development licensing from console manufacturers. where is my "bitch-hunter: the game" or "super shokushu goukan" (where you use wii-motes to control the tentacles) already!
of course, this will eventually prevent game buying adults from easily getting their games at local retailers just because some fuckwits shouldn't have spawned in the first place.
it would be a better move for the armed services to do it's own in-house r&d and production. do a reverse gi bill where you go to school to become an engineer or whatever than have to serve for like 5 years. it is way better than letting these companies bilk our money that would be better spent elsewhere (or even left to the people in the first place).
but not for what they are giving you. give me the full 1080p, non-drm-ed version (that i can transcode down to whatever format i want) and we'll be about square. for an average 20-some episode season, that works out to be about what you'd pay when they first release it at retail.
would the location of the server that the blog resides on have any bearing on this? if it is in another state, wouldn't that be like working in another state, so you'd have to go by its laws? maybe it would depend if she wrote it locally and uploaded it vs. writing it through some server-side app?
meter bandwidth? so, like double-tiering? fuck that. tier it by connection speed or by data consumption, but not both. that is just asking for some ricin.
is the 'god squad' a real organization? is it a subset of the church, employing dimwits who don't know shit about the bible and try to up-sell you deluxe bibles that you don't need? it seems like "holy family parish" is the name of the organization, and he is making fun of their logo. it'd be no different if he was wearing a "god inside" t-shirt, parodying the intel logo. on the flip side, the priest is selling his beliefs and should be taxed accordingly.
it is like when the local sports team gets a new stadium. all the money used for it would be economically better off given to small businesses and start-ups.
I'm trying to imagine if Blizzard created a World of Warcraft monster that could eat your monthly subscription if it killed you. Players would be furious, and accuse Blizzard of stealing from them.
not if WoW's subscription time was also in-game monetized.

that logic is not he same at all...

i only play on pc too, but i can understand the plight of the adult console gamer. first they came for the mature console games...

let's hope they don't find out about the money that various levels of government gave the companies to expand infrastructure in the first place.
the governnent sh/could just eminent domain the lines
our cigarettes didn't 'cause' your cancer, the smoking of them just 'resulted' in it.
i do have permission to backup my movies, so now what do i do? break the drm, which still seems only quasi-legal, or just download it?

do fat people get a double LP?
riaa is gonna have a field day with this.
by demanding the cracked (read: free) program stay up, he is basically giving it away for free and cannot complain about it being cracked.
too funny. almost as funny as all the tards who think it is "where my judge sat" and not "where my judges at".

like episode i was an independent movie. imho, distribution should also have to factor in when going indie.

i am surprised they didn't ask him about holography in relation to data storage or other non-artsy usage.
is the 'god squad' a real organization? is it a subset of the church, employing dimwits who don't know shit about the bible and try to up-sell you deluxe bibles that you don't need? it seems like "holy family parish" is the name of the organization, and he is making fun of their logo. it'd be no different if he was wearing a "god inside" t-shirt, parodying the intel logo. on the flip side, the priest is selling his beliefs and should be taxed accordingly.
for a guy who seems to be all about technology, why are his movies always way late to the next-gen format?
since when is it illegal to do parody logos of things?
