Last month I was a little bored and decided to play with one of the old Fox commercials for the show. The result? A trailer for the upcoming movie. I can't wait for the real thing though. The trailer can be found here: http://www3.telus.net/vchrusch

Don't squat with your spurs on.

You may have stumbled on the perfect title.

Huh? Are you referring to the Big Damn Movie blurb at the end?

Neat idea, wish I could see it. Somebody hurry up and reencode to mpg or DivX....

Well, if some kind soul could direct me towards a program that can convert wma9 to something that is Mac-friendly, I could do the re-encoding myself.

Damn fine video trailer! Small size too. Got a higher res version? I will be happy to download it too.

While I'm not exactly sure how to encode DivX/MPEG, its worth checking www.divx.com for the former.

EDIT: Possibly something here: http://www.divx.com/software/browse.php?cid=14

In any case, WMV format works fine on a Mac---if its version 7 or 8, rather than 9. (The Palladium code in WMP9 is the reason, I suspect, that an updated Mac player hasn't come out yet.) So if you've got a slightly older version of your current software, that could probably do it. I know WMV7 works, I'm pretty sure 8 does as well.

You could try "Blaze media convert".
It comes with a 15 or 30 days trail and it does just about everything I think.
Have a look at

Thanks for the info. What's funny is that I started making vids after I upgraded the Movie Maker software. The old codecs were Mac-friendly, but I didn't realize that until it was too late. I found a couple of free programs that will let me re-encode the vids. It'll be a couple of weeks till I get it done though.

Works as a tagline though: "Big Damn Movie".

Yeah, I do actually. It's a 3.6mb version which looks and sounds better. I'll be throwing it up on my site a little later this week along with the two other trailers I've done.

you should be able to get a 30 day trial version of the "Dr.Divx encoder @ www.divx.com
works pretty well, and fairly easy to use.

Vids are back up (most of them anyways). The Trailer Trilogy will return in two weeks time.
