Again with the IT/AV craze...

Guess what? AV is IT. All of a sudden, every manufacturer is introducing IT or "network enabled" products. Projector manufacturers are using the "network" to both control a projector's functions but also to deliver PowerPoint to a projector without the usual VGA cable. And, some (i.e. Sony) are even doing it wirelessly.

How to Put Your Demo Reels on DVD...
...without going bankrupt

One of the hardest things to accomplish for many 3D hobbyists, students, and even professionals is to actually see your finished work on screen at broadcast levels. I have a library full of DigiBeta and D1 tapes but obviously no home player for either. So, with VHS quality not being an option, I decided to figure what it would take to make my own DVDs without having to declare bankruptcy. My Task: Get Digibeta/D1 footage and image files to DVD. It took a bit more research and leg work than I initially thought, so I thought I would share what I've learned for the benefit of people in a similar situation.

Prodigal Mac: It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times
Which Apple is going to show up in the next twelve months?

Folks, I'm tanned, I'm rested, and I'm ready. (Translation: my usually butt-white Irish skin is a lovely late-summer pink, I've been lazy, and Dave Nagel was about to hand me my rear end on a shiny silver platter garnished with a lovely sprig of parsley if I didn't get him something to publish soon.) I hope everyone out there in Mac-land is doing about the same, because if this summer has been any indication, the next year or so should be a very interesting one for the professional end of the Mac market.
