Buy your favorite Speed Runs on DVD!

2004-10-16 07:31:15 pm

I've completed work on Volume 1 of the DVDs, which include some of the most popular runs on Speed Demos Archive (most of which are Metroid runs, since I captured virtually all of those).

These DVDs are different from what you can download from the Internet in that they were not processed to be viewed on a computer (though they still work in a computer's DVD player just fine). In other words, the quality of the video on these DVDs is much better than if you were to just, say, stick the videos you download from SDA on a DVD.

So far, Red Scarlet's 0:55 100% in Super Metroid has been ordered the most.

There's really not much more to say that's not covered on the ordering page, so check it out now!

Well, since most people stack DVD's on their sides, is there a mosaic there too?
:P

rotfl.

it was supposed to be on the sides, but it ended up on the front. it'll be on both in the next volume (which will include your 100% s-s and 0:50).

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

Woah, wtf? How'd you dodge the legal red tape on this one Nate?

i see it like gays in the military - don't ask, don't tell.

also, nothing bad has happened to andrew mills, and he's probably sold fifty times as many dvds as i have.

He's right. Requests for Metroid In Motion have been so huge that I have a backlog of around 35 copies STILL left to go! Shocked

I managed to get MIM "authorised" using a UK nintendo rep who showed it to a very high up european Nintendo employee in September and he basically told them it's all stuff that can be downloaded off the net anyways, and I was given the all clear. It was just the donation aspect of the DVD set that was "accidentially" forgotten by the rep when discussing it... ;)

As long as you don't go on a massive PR crusade with them, I can't see the big N getting a whiff of it. Wink

I'll be buying the whole volume on pay day, so I'll be looking forward to that... :D

ah, very pleased to hear that (about the nintendo contact and also about the future purchase ;). thanks again for pioneering this new method of distribution for us.

Of course, they didn't count on Squenix shutting down CT Ressurection either. But we know what happened with that. Corporate bastards. Just don't publicize it too much.

I wish I had money now... -_-

Hmm I would like to buy them all, but I can't because I need my money for other things.

I'd like to buy the MP2 runs on dvd. Not in dvd format, just copies of the AVIs to play on my computer. I have a slow connection but would like to watch them (including DJGrenola's 20%).

Did anything ever come of doing the special edition of RS's 0:55?

nate

2005-05-05 05:11:14 pm

that was planned as a replacement for the old dv bridge captured #003 dvd. however, immediately after i announced that i was doing it, i became aware of a capture device so powerful that it will render all previous ntsc captures obsolete, so i decided to hold off on the scarlet special edition until i got the new unit, rather than doing all that work twice (when i've already done it four or so times to begin with). time frame now is late june/early july release for the new dvd, assuming i can get at least one job to pay for the new unit (it's going to be between $700 and $800 it looks like).
