Pumping Iron VCDs

[The Whole F/N Show]

I was thinking about making and selling these. I used to do the tapes a while back for $15 but the VCDs are cheaper and easier to make. Pirating issues aside does anyone thing this is a good idea? I was think maybe somewhere between $5-10 for the 2 disc set. For those who don't know most DVD players and play VCDs but if not you can always watch them on your computer.

 

[WODIN]

I'll take one!

Cool Woodin. I'm gonna try to make one this weekend. I'm still figuring out how to get chapters and menus to work quite right. So far the ones I've been making haven't had them. But you are right supernav, dubbing taping in time consuming and a pain. Making VCDs is pretty painless.

What is a VCD?

 

[cure]

"Ronnie Coleman - The Unbelievable" was alot more enjoyable IMO.

Really Cure? That's out there on Kazaa too. Well actually I usually Kazaalite. I'll have to check it out.

A VCD is a Video CD. Kinda like a DVD expect it's on CD not DVD. So you can only fit about 80 minutes of VCD on a VCD and the quality isn't as good as a DVD but it's can be close. It really depend on the video was encoded. Most I've seen look around VHS quality or slightly less but at least the won't wear out like tape. Mind you not all DVD players can play VCDs.

"LIGHT WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

He had me smiling throughout the whole video and he put up some major weight yet he really didn't use a full range of motion in his exercises.

Yup, that's where i originally got it. On kazaa. It's just a little over 80 minutes. 80.30 about.

 

[p0ink]

cure, feel like making that into a vcd?

 

[MaGilicuti]

how do you make a vcd? you can make it out of avi's? i got a couple things i'd like to put on vcd myself

 

[cure]

How about i upload it to the server here at work and you guys can download it. You'll get anywhere from 40-100kb download. It's about 120 megs but i'll probably zip it up.

 

[The Whole F/N Show]

That's even better cure. Did you have in in Divx? I got the Raw AVI off kazaa and it was about 680mb.

 

[MaGilicuti]

ahem, someone teach me how to make these vcds, i've been thinking about this all week

http://www.vcdhelp.com is the site to check out. but a quick run down

For Making VCDs
1. Video must converted to MPEG 1 format and multiplexed and must be 352X240 resolution. For Super VCD (a near DVD quality and thus larger size file) the resolution has to be higher.
I use TMPGenc for this most of the time. It has a wizard that totally walks you through.

2. Chapters can be added if you want with a program called VCDeasy.

3. Burn the VCD with you CD burning software. It will have a VCD making option. I use Nero. and never using Nero to encode your video because it does a really shitty job.

 

[p0ink]

how much will you charge TWFS?

 

[cure]

TWFS actually my bad...it was the same size as yours and is in avi format.

 

[The Whole F/N Show]

I'm thinking 8 bucks would probaby fair for my effort, the cd and slim cases.

Anyone caught that icky homoerotic vibe from Pumping Iron? I sure did. Boys on the grass sleeping, taking a shower and/or a ballet lesson. Gay as hell. But Dorian Yates's Blood n' Guts is the most intense and realistic training video there is. Period. Ronnie the clown won't get even close to Dorian's training intensity. (Yes, I know Coleman does some big ass weights, but he cheats through the whole video). Now Dorian's got perfect form AND he trains like an animal!

Do yourself a favour and download Dorian Yates's Blood n' Guts! It's THE shit!

 

[MaGilicuti]

pumping iron is kinda fruity

 

[The Whole F/N Show]

Some would argue the whole concept of bodybuilding is kinda fruity.

 

[Dr.M]

In the 50s and 60s everyone thought they were all gay.

I agree with Ron being sloppy, Dorian's video was boring IMO but he did the stuff right.

Yea, I hate the way coleman cheats up that 805 deadlift for 2 reps.......then when he cheats that flat db press w/200lbs for 12 reps....then he has the nerve to cheat 585 for 4 reps doing front squats.

Well I managed to get it to my liking. I know it's coming on Cinemax but if anyone need one let me know. You can PM me.
