Used Adobe Encore (DSP doesn’t support it) to create a blu-ray version of the project and then burned it to a dual layer dvd-r disk. Went over to Best Buy, popped it into their display machine, and it worked first try. When that happens I usually assume fate is toying with me, but I’ll take it.

Amongst the other things that happened today, this is very interesting.

The D word. Rhymes with gub. Saying it might jinx it, though. Gonna take a day or two off and see if there’s anything else I wanna muck with.

In the meantime, started on the subtitles. Subtitles suck.

4:31 pm

Got WordPress working with an iPod touch. Yet another thing that I never had before but didn’t know how desperately I needed.

In other news, made a first version of the DVD.

11:14 am

Fourth version of the audio. Some levels munging yet to go, but it’s about as far as I can push it.

After that a few shots need to be tweaked. But slowly getting there.

2:04 am

Kicked out a third version of the audio. Gonna have to do at least a fourth, but slowly getting closer.

10:59 am

Got a better version of the audio together. Sent back the AlphaTrack, it didn’t really integrate with Soundtrack Pro all that well. Built the ZFS array, so far so good.

4:28 pm

Spent the last week getting up to speed on the audio. Got everything roughly hammered into a 5.1 mix. Needs a lot more work.

Ordered some new hardware, a little TR4U enclosure with hopes of building a ZFS array. After that an AlphaTrack, hopefully it will make managing audio levels easy.

10:51 am

Final cut, #3. Know I missed a shot or two. And I hesitate to use the phrase done. But getting close.

9:14 am

Getting closer, pushed a second final cut out.

Bought an Apple TV, been playing around with it. I wish getting content into the h.264 variant it likes was a bit easier, but once there it’s a pretty slick piece of kit.

12:40 pm

Final cut, #1. A bunch of little things I’ll probably tweak yet. The audio needs to be cleaned up, mixed. But the bulk of the work seems complete.

A long time to get here. A bunch yet to go. A single step at a time.
