Hi all,

I just posted this in the F:IA and Fox forums as well...

For the last couple weeks I've been downloading all the episodes via WinMX in SVCD format (thanks to -=ZERO=- for helping me out).

Over the weekend I, in addition to sending out many postcards (see postcard tally thread), authored DVDs from the episodes.

I re-encoded the SVCD files and made them DVD compliant, plus added menus, etc. I am actually surprised how well they turned out! :) There are 3 DVDs with 4 episodes per disc.

I don't have any fancy labels or cool cases for them (unless someone wants to help me out with artwork), but if anyone is interested in a set let me know. Now that they're made I can reproduce them (maybe a couple sets per day) for pretty cheap.

They are on DVD-R discs, burned by a Pioneer A-04 DVD burner. I've played them on a few set top DVD players (Pioneer, Sony, Panasonic) and they work fine. I can't guarantee compatibility with your player though. Check your DVD player manual to see if it supports DVD-R media.

If you're interested contact me via email: trs80@cornerpub.com

Let's talk off the board and work something out. Probably IM would work best. If you have an IM address (I'm on ICQ, Yahoo, AIM), could you email to me so we can talk?

Well it sure looks like it's going to work out. A dozen people already want to get a set. If you have IM email me your ID and we'll talk.

I am new and have been checking this board out on a daily basis hoping for good news. I am thankful to everyone who has shared. I have found other sites as well. You may want to check out the following site:

The covers are already made. I would also be interested in a dvd set.

May Serenity keep flying.

Thanks for the link. I have already seen those and they are very nice.

The problem, though, is that there are 3 discs, with 4 episodes per disc. So, the ones on that site would need to be modified a bit to work. Anyone want to try and contact the makers to see if they'd be interested in some mods?

Are you using a DVD authoring system to
make the menus, or handmaking them with ifoedit or similar?

i used tmpgenc to convert them from SVCD to DVD, then used Sonic DVDit! to author the discs.
