"I Am Zombie Man 3" - remember that?

For You Tube.... I use 1280x720 HD WMV. This way you get the HD setting. Goto Render Choose WMV Choose 3mbps Resolution: 1280x720 Soiund: VBR 25 Then save and boom. Since You Tube allows upto 1gb of file size now it makes it easier to upload nice looking files in HD resolution.

Thanks for that tip ... annoyingly though my broadband connection is so goddamned slow (relatively speaking) that the upload speed is too slow for really big files, so such a file would take like 24 hours to upload or something silly. I'll stick with my usual MPEG-2 render for YouTube, which is pretty darn good quality for 'teh intarwebz'. That said - Deej - do you have tips for settings to render out: 1) A really spiffing quality SD MPEG-2. 2) An MPEG-2 that would qualify for "HD" use. (For DVD use).

For DVD use? Does that mean I'll finally get my hands on a "Zombie Man" box set?!?! *drools*

YEAH!... WTF Where is the DVD BOXSET? Why ain't it on HD DVD? ---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ---------- Thanks for that tip ... annoyingly though my broadband connection is so goddamned slow (relatively speaking) that the upload speed is too slow for really big files, so such a file would take like 24 hours to upload or something silly.

The resolution needs to be a min of 1280x720.... Hence why I said WMV it is a smaller file size.

DVDs will be for those that worked on the film, it's what I usually do as a "cheers mate" to those that helped out, plus I keep master copies and such like. I usually cram other stuff onto each and every DVD of a new short I've made for multiple copies of the films, so I'll no doubt be able to squeeze the other two onto the same disc, hehe. Perhaps I will do that simple re-cut of IAZM2 for the DVD master...

BOX SET! BOX SET! BOX SET! Put it in a coffin-shaped box and on top of the coffin, ZM's decayed mask (from the most recent film) mask laying on it. Man, I wish I had the photoshop skills to sketch that up, that would look awesome & hilarious.

UPDATE! The edit is complete, and I'll hopefully upload it to YouTube sometime tomorrow. Might take a while on my connection (310mb MPEG-2, dialled down a smidge from my usual MPEG-2 render preset that put out a 375mb file) ... but aye folks - really soon now. Thanks for your continued patience as well. It's now 3 years since I put IAZM2 online, and more than 2 years since I was originally going to shoot IAZM3, hehe.

Good things come to those who wait, I always say.. The film and the score turned out fantastic - check it out when MZ gets it uploaded, you won't be disappointed.

I'm uploading it now ... but fuck me it's taking ages! I blame the government personally. If they hadn't wasted £12.5 billion of borrowed money on the useless (and temporary) VAT cut, and had instead spent it on a permanent fibre optic broadband network for the nation, I'd have been sorted. Well, okay, maybe not at this juncture, but it would have given us something. Oh and I blame our ISP for not bothering to invest in the infrastructure, so the service has just been getting slower and slower for months now, not that changing ISP would do us any good out in the sticks. *rant over* 4 1/2 hours of uploading and counting... (all because I've drifted into peak time, so you can also blame a bunch of school kids downloading porn and MSN'ing each other for making it take so long to upload ).

[MinionZombie]

FUCK THIS. After EIGHT FUCKING HOURS of getting NOWHERE, I've cancelled the upload and I'll try it again tomorrow long before "peak hours" get going. Seriously. This is beyond stupid. Government & ISPs - get your act together! In this day and age uploading 310mb of video to YouTube should be piss easy, not this much fucking hassle! An annoying day, much? You betcha ... *sigh* I'll try again tomorrow, and HOPEFULLY I'll fucking get somewhere!

[DjfunkmasterG]

MZ... Render out a 1280x720 WMV it will be like 110mb if that and will be as good quality as your MPEG 2. Upload that too You Tube and save the MPEG 2 for the DVD

...aaaaand the meltdown ensues...
