This is just a fun vid, with some of my favorite Jayne scenes. Nothing too heavy, just some fist fights, guns, and the like. Head to my Firefly site and have a good time!

Gotta love our favorite bad boy.

Enjoy!
Karen

Actually Pyro, I got my help off the boards too, so I'll give you advice any way I can. My method for making vids isn't the best, but it is definitely the cheapest. :) With the help of another board member, I learned about DVD Shrink 3.2 - it's available free online. That let's you capture the scenes from the DVDs. Then you need a program to transfer to the right file type - I was recommended to use VirtualDub for MPEGs. Also available for free online. Once I have those avi files, I open them in ShowBiz (came free with Windows NT), although you can use Windows Movie Maker. I don't like WMM, but if you don't use it, you'll have to transfer the Showbiz film to WMM to make the wmv file.

I realize this sounds like a lot of work, but once you figure it out, you'll move pretty quickly. There are also software and hardware for scene capturing - check out Best Buy.

I can give you more details and web sites - unfortunately I cannot locate the old thread that taught me how to do it (too old I guess). Email me or use AOL IM with questions. ksyrjama on AIM.

Good luck!
Karen

haha, nice work! :)

My one major criticism is the aspect ratio. Your video looks like it was smooshed from the sides, or stretched vertically.

If you're using Windows Movie Maker, try changing your settings:

Tools -> Options -> Advanced tab

In the Video Properties portion, change the aspect ratio to 16:9. That should match your video output the aspect ratio of the DVDs.


EDIT:

Nevermind, I just saw your reply. Guess you're not using WMM. :P

Naw, I know the sides could look better, but I kind of like it the way it is. I also recommend opening it in Full Screen, to get the full effect. I've always been strangly partial to the Showbiz program. Believe me, I understand that my work isn't up to everyone's par, but I'm quite proud, so who the heck cares?

Later, K

Pyro,

I forgot to mention - you need a lot of computer space to use my method. If you have a bit of cash to shell out - and not the space - I'd recommend purchasing the software. Other board members might have suggestions. My friends on "The Lost World" boards suggested Dazzle.

Again, good luck,
Karen
