Author Topic: The "Create A THX Trailer" Contest Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 07-02-2006 05:21 AM                        Yeah, I was able to update to 6.5 via the internal update function, but that's not enough. I went to quicktime's site and downloaded 7.1. The installer crashes everytime. No help on the quicktime site, but found some on Installsheild's site, but still won't install. And I can't rip them off of the site, and convert them to another format, becase they're protected.  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-02-2006 08:38 AM                     I don't like most of them. Too much filler. The power of the THX trailer is Deep Note. Nothing else matters...just hit that and hit it hard. I did really like BEYOND IMAGINATION. The visual seemed to capture the spirit of Deep Note. THAT looks like a THX trailer, and is certainly better than the new one. Still like Grandpa yelling "TURN IT UP" the best!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-02-2006 12:15 PM                        Charles, I can download them from the site easily. Not that I'd want to, but I had to in order to check the codec which is H.264 which is a version of MPEG 4. Of course maybe you need QT Pro in order to allow the SAVE function to unlock. I'm not sure where, but I know you can get an H.264 codec for QT 6. I had it on my machine I think. But then again my machine is a Mac.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

The only one I liked at all was "Luminous" by Michael Swindler. Pretty simple and tasteful concept. I think its also funny how many of the contest entrants had to create their own vector-based THX logos to animate in 3D.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

Hot...  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 07-04-2006 03:44 AM                        I think Jennifer needs to spend some time in the walk in cooler, to cool off. :-) I have a huuuge codec pack installed, which does support mpeg-4 and its subcodecs. I'll have to see if I can turn quicktime off, or somehow force the vids to load in my other player.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

You're new, you'll get used my horniness soon enough. I also suggest you buy a new computer. There is no point in using the thing if you can't have an updated version of Quicktime.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

More fun subject. Gotta have those priorities straight!  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

For people who talk about it... but don't really get none..  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-04-2006 05:17 PM                       quote: Joe Redifer here is my OFFICIAL entry for the THX trailer contest. Joe, you are a funny, funny man. Good job! Btw, for future reference, real trailers are 24fps.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-04-2006 07:00 PM                        I know that, but I think they wanted them in 4:3, 29.97.  |  IP: Logged Charles Greenlee Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 801 From: Savannah, Ga, U.S. Registered: Jun 2006 posted 07-04-2006 09:34 PM                        Computer's fine, Dual P4-Xenons. I can do almost anything it seems. Just I've had crashes in the past, alot of them, and as you probably know, windows is never the same fater a 100 or so crashes. A faulty powersupply caused that, whenever the machine was under heavy load, the 3.3v line to the CPUs would drop out. In short, I just need to reinstall windows, but am too lazy to.  |  IP: Logged
