So I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I am hereby guilty of BWE, aka blogging while emotional. (thank you Jo for pioneering this little acronym)
I just discovered a total run of newbie mistakes I have been making for several days that have rendered several hours of work completely pointless and useless, and will now lead to several more hours of work.
For anyone in the slightest bit video inclined, who wants to hit me in the head with a soggy newspaper, my DVD authoring programme is from NZ and therefore set to write PAL, where all my footage is in NTSC. Also, more stupid yet, Premiere was saving everything in some made up foreign mpeg format that is ofcourse not mpeg2 compatible.
Result: after many hours I have some very jumpy out of sync DVDs.
Did you know that if you fold a DVD in half a couple of times it breaks into multi coloured, multi layered shards?
Sigh
Back to the drawing board

I am actually well aware of the shard phenomenom. I experienced it back in the day when DVDs were two bucks a pop.
There was much more BWE sessions, as well as a bit of crying.
Hey guess what? I've just submitted my thesis!!!! See you on Sunday :)
