Abadoss Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Um, pixie... zircon... shouldn't the videocast still be more like Episode 52v?Oh, and the video doesn't match the audio... What is this video of which you speak? Is it out yet? It isn't on vgdj.net or the podcast feed as of now... I have an RSS feed off the site...

Jillian Aversa Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 There's more than just audio problems. We've taken down the videos because a ton of technical things are going wrong with the .mp4 encoding. Sorry guys, you'll just have to sit tight. Please be patient. Kroze and I have been at this thing for the last 48 hours, literally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jillian Aversa Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Kindly refrain from distributing any of the messed up versions! Um, pixie... zircon... shouldn't the videocast still be more like Episode 52v? Nooooo, because we've put a ridiculous amount of time and effort into this thing, and it has some content (i.e. better live performance sound, and the trivia & prizes) that didn't make it to Episode 052... Plus an introduction by me, and voicemails/pictures/stinger at the end. Besides, just having the visual aspect alone is enough to make this a full out show. ^-^ So here's the scoop! After three days of trying to work with MPEG-4, we have realized that it is an awful format when it comes to internet interaction. So we're going to reencode the video to .mov, which is a format that iTunes should recognize in our feed. Unfortunately, the movie won't be playable on your iPod unless you convert it yourself. But that's a small price to pay, considering most of our listeners simply grab the show off the site or on iTunes. If all goes well, it should be out sometime today! Sorry about the wait. ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jillian Aversa Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Sorry, dudes. Tomorrow. TOMORROW, I PROMISE! It'll be worth the wait. We want this thing to be as high quality as we can get it, for a reasonable file size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 While I haven't really been able to help with the vid stoof, I can tell ya how hard pixie has been working on it, and her efforts have finally paid off: EPISODE 053 (W/ MULTIPLE DIFFERENT VIDEO ENCODINGS) WILL BE RELEASED TONIGHT AT 11:00PM! Don't forget the popcorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 VGDJ: EPISODE #053 "DAY OF THE VIDEOCAST" IS NOW AVAILABLE AT VGDJ.NET!!! Yes, the wait is finally up! I do apologize for how long it took to crank this thing out. There were many problems during the reencoding process, as I'm sure some of you have read. But this being our first ever videocast, we wanted to give you the best quality we could. The bulk of the vid is footage from our panel at Otakon, but there are other goodies as well! That being said, we have three different resolutions for you to choose from: low (70 MB), normal (130 MB), and high (400 MB). Take yer pick, and enjooooyyyy... ^-^ P.S. Very special thanks to Jiggles McPuff for recording the panel, and Kroze for all his help with the reencoding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kroze Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 And the video came out really really REALLY good from its "First" version *CoughcoughLightingHelpsALotcough*... Still, hopfully the three diffrent versions shall satisfy everyone on any connection they might have (Except for those poor poor 56kers... Its amazing those sad bastards still exist..). And the Panel came out great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moguta Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 No you two didn't! Day of the Tentacle?!?! Utter hilarity. VGDJ is simply getting too good at making me laugh. Enough already! =x EDIT: Well, darn, just from the intro I thought it was you guys dressed as the tentacles. But still, wonderfully silly video of 'em. ;D And seeing the panel makes me wish I could've attended. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerrax Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Awesome. Just...awesome. NowI feel like an ass for not going to Otakon. (I'm not really a big fan or even a mediocre fan of most anime so I generally stay away from cons. Too much weirdness). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Haha, you thought that was us, Chris? I WISH we were that awesome... But now both the green *and* purple tentacles have registered on OCR, so I'm sure we'll be seeing more of them. ^-^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
