  1. i've noticed that there are a lot of short freestyle/muni/street/trials
    videos on this site's gallery. i was thinking i could take it upon
    myself to make a video that is a compilation of a good bunch of these
    shorts.

    there are only some things that i need before i can start:

    #1)a way to port WMV files into quicktime, as my edit program is on a
    mac.
    #2) permission from the rider/film-person to use their video
    #3) a link from said person to their video in the gallery/on the
    internet.
    #4) a good name for the video.

    if you all could post your answers to these questions above in
    respective order (#1, 2, 3, and 4). that would be nice.

    also, suggestions/comments are also accepted.

  3. Microsoft has a version of Windows Media Player for Mac OSX
    'Windows Media Player 9 for Mac OS X' (http://tinyurl.com/3j24t)
    I don't know how well it works on the Mac or if it will allow you to
    import WMV files in QuickTime.

    to want to.

  7. I'm willing to e-mail you a little freestyle footage. I have a Mac, so
    everything's already in Quicktime. If you're interested, PM me your
    e-mail address, and how many minutes of footage you'd like. (up to about
    five.)

  8. ok, addressing all your concerns:

    #1) I have the WMV player for mac. i cannot port those types of files
    into my editing program. if, however, i can get a two-way porter
    dealy-thing, i can port stuff into quicktime format for editing, and i
    can port it back into WMV for posting in the gallery/on internet.
    I can also burn into DVD format for anyone who's willing to pay 10 or 15
    bucks for the shipping and cost of DVDs.

    Thank you, jsm. my email is abbabibble(at)gmail(dot)com if you wish to
    email the footage. i can review it and selct the things i want/ people
    want.
    just please don't send me files over a few megabytes (more than 10)
    because my email can't handle it.

  14. i would suggest attempting to get RAW footage files from the original
    riders you were looking to use clips of, the format they are in as soon
    as they are captured from the tape. this way you don't have to sacrifice
    quality from yet another generation loss of re-encoding the video from
    an already encoded state, and you don't have to fret over being able to
    import the footage to edit with. just my 2 cents, as one of the things
    i've come to be greedy with concerning video editing is the quality of
    the original clips [this would also knock out render times and RAM usage
    when editing with RAW files]

  15. ah. you have a point.

    if anyone could ship me a tape/copy of a tape (VHS, not PAL format,
    please) of riding, that'd be good too. PM me for mailing address if you
    want to do that.

  16. i appreciate the fact that u asked for the original riders'/filmakers'
    permission, doesn't the fact that it's posted in the gallery place it in
    the 'public domain' ?

    and i mean that question in the strictly legal sense of the word(s)

    Placing something in a gallery (even an on-line one) does not alter the
    copyright owner's rights. They still have rights over the creation of
    derivative works, so Mat is doing the sensible thing here.
