We're not trying to insult anyone by any means. Remember that about two months ago I reported that the webmaster said that he, out of his own pocket and kindness, wanted to get video copies to Elohimfesters. And then other members offered to buy copies. And it's still not completely decided if the webmaster or the UMCP team has the time or resources to mail out videos to everyone who wants to buy one (or the set)-we are working towards that, but I can't guarantee it at this point. Let's just say, to use that horrible grammar they use on ESPN radio, we're "efforting".
fall far and well Pilots!

A week ago the webmaster told me:
The final product will probably be two DVDs, and one VHS tape. Almost exactly two hours of footage.
So that's what's going out the with the mailing but as far as what the exact download format will be on the Site I haven't found that out yet. I have inquired about the possibility of SRD's permission on the video/DVD sales.

Latest communique from the Webmaster:
I did tell Steve that I was going to make a DVD and VHS copy, and send them out to all the Elohimfest attendees - with the intention that they could then copy them as desired and send them to their friends (which would save ME from having to do all that myself - which I'd actually be willing to do if I wasn't so bogged down with other things). He did not specifically say "sure," but he didn't object. And on the "score card" I sent him, I had a column for "do NOT include on DVD/VHD" (with a full explanation of what that meant), and he used that column in his notetaking to specify which clips he didn't want included in that version.
I will contact him regarding the selling of it. I'm guessing that he won't have a problem with that as long as the amount charged is just enough to cover materials and shipping - I don't think he'd want anyone making a profit on it.
The web versions will likely be in MPEG. I think it's better if people download the files and view them from their computer. If it was streaming, then that would likely increase the throughput on the server quite a bit. But if they have the MPEG file on their system, they can watch it as many times as they'd like. I want to put up a low-res version of each clip for people with dial-up connections, and a high-res version for those who can support it.
I also don't think they'll go up in order. I need to put them up a few at a time to make sure I don't overload the server. And I asked Steve to score each clip in importance from 1 to 5. So I'll start with the 1s, and work my way down to the 4s. (5s will never be uploaded - but they were mostly "between question" clips, and a couple of questions that he didn't think would be relevant)
