FML right i need to tell you all about this
...in excruciating detail.
So, due to I don't even know what somehow I lost both the physical spare copies and the master files for the House of Torres: Vol. I DVD (note to self: I always forget which horrible pun it was, Vol. II will be Team Free Wool and feature![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ysobel's sketches as disc art). Anyway, when we went out to visit jetpack_monkey and echan I ripped a copy of their disc, which all our computers said was CORRUPTED, so I couldn't conveniently rip a disc image, I had to use MactheRipper and now I have a load of .vob files and I'm wondering how I can make it an .img again for ease of burnilating. You know, after I finish figuring out what was corrupted and fix it.
Okay? Okay. So I'm watching all the vid files trying to figure out where the corruption is (did it take bribes? sexual favors? maybe it stuffed ballot boxes?) and jfc this disc contains VIDS I MADE A FULL DECADE AGO.
I CANNOT EVEN.
I NEED SOMEONE ELSE TO WATCH THIS SHIT, I CANNOT WATCH MY OWN VIDS.
I keep pausing and flailing in IM.grey_bard suggested I watch with the sound off, but I'm afraid I'll miss a glitch if I do. Like, mpeg2, video and audio are muxed, right, so if there's an audio glitch there WILL be a video glitch too--but if it's in a sweet spot visually I might not see it. We are talking decade old vids, I don't actually have the timeline memorized anymore.
My current complaint is: DEAR GOD, DID I REALLY SLOW DOWN THAT MANY SHOTS? Answer: probably.
grey_bard says I've grown as a vidder.
ETA: Suddenly I feel really old as a fangirl.
ETA2: Oooh, it might be the menu. That would *suck.*
ETA3: oh my jesus fuck, the fucking six minute vid I made. NOT remastered. I'm trying to figure out if I would ever, ever, in a million fuckin years, have the cope to remaster that.
ETA4: Early examples of vidding other people's vids. That shot will always be "Did they tell you it was set in stone?" for me.
ETA5: Did I say six? I meant seven. jfc, and why do I want to do that ever again? BUT I DO. I HAVE BUNNY THAT LONG.
ETA6: GOTCHA. It's in American Tune. If not also elsewhere. Continuing to check.
ETA7: Hahaha I am reminded that I was being a BITTER little liberal, vidding that arc to "American Tune" during the Bush administration. Which frankly make my insinuations about the corruption of the DVD more hilarious.
ETA8: Wow, I am STILL annoyed at a match cut I lost in a vid crash and never managed to fix right on the Fight Club vid.
ETA9: Okay, yes,keelieinblack, NOW I can admit the empty window is hilarious.

(Really, is it sad that after all this time I still immediately knew what you were talking about?)
no subject
Based on my experience of watching ten years' worth of my own vids I am going to say no, no it is not sad.
(ps is there any chance you would want to be a stop for a touring fangirl? (I nearly typed 'a top' instead of 'a stop' and wow that is a different kind of request entirely))
no subject
I, er, I hope you didn't flail yourself into oblivion during this whole ordeal. *pets*
(Hmm hmm, maybe? I will have to look over my schedule and see how family stuff/medical issues/grading/conferences will be chewing up my schedule over the next months. Wouldn't recommend it until late summer at least, tho, since the heat is miserable here at the moment and only likely to get worse.)

I think I managed to sort the thing. Although I am kind of flail at getting a master img again.
