    Hrm… where to be begin?

    <3 Shenmue and PSO. (I had the latter for the Cube whereas a lot of my friends got it early on DC.)

    I didn't care for Invader Zim, but then again I never even gave the show much of a chance to begin with.

    Psychonauts was sadly not given enough love. I had the chance to enjoy this on my PC.

    Your "suggestive" picture should be more practically renamed "disturbing." What exactly are you connotating here? Did you just get laid? In any case, it's good to have a face to the author. (Not surprisingly you look similar to your brother.)

    Did you fly all the way to FL just to get ISF certified?

    I didn't know DLT was still in use. I figured LTO had taken over. What drives/media are you using in your workflow? Actually, I'm very interested in your DVD workflow in general. Drop me a line sometime if you don't mind discussing it. Since I know you're itching to get into Blu-ray, I could hook you up with a few encoders so you can get your hands wet. IMO, x264 still surpasses them all (at least the ones I've tested), but it has no segment re-encoding facilities.

  2. Psychonauts is probably my favourite gaming memory of the decade. It came at just the right time for me and ticked all the right boxes.

    Ha ha, no I did not just get laid, but I’m glad it shivered your timbers. Maybe I should start cataloging those occurrences in pictures to scare everyone when it hits 2020 ;)

    The ISF stuff was done in London at JVC’s UK HQ. No trip to the States unfortunately. Although I am going to CES in Las Vegas tomorrow and then on to PHL!

    I will take you up on the generous second offer :) – and I agree 100% about x264, which is why I begged the authors to add options necessary for BD Compliance (4 slices per frame and depending on the authoring app, Network Abstraction Layer info). Reportedly, it can produce compliant output now.

    A lot of the replicators I’ve worked with still ask for DLT … although some even wanted to replicate from DVD-Rs before, so getting them to glass master from DLT was a victory. I think it’s a case of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”…

    x264 can indeed produce compliant Blu-ray bitstreams, but I haven’t verified it personally.

    Also, when you do contact me, I’ll have another little surprise for you.

    :P

  4. Excellent narrative. I loved the key images of 2005. And of course, the image there from 2004 taught me the word “frenum”.

    I taught a few people that word. But that was 2005.

    What are the 2009 quotes referring to?

    They are reviews (both press and customer) of DVDs I encoded :)
