WinchesterCon 2007 and vid watching experience

[redina]

I jotted down a note about wanting to thank convention and vidshow organizers for allowing viewers the option of seeing vids under a 'theater' experience or an 'all hell breaks loose' experience. Thank you!

( Why I wanted to walk out of the vidshow... )

As vids that were more 'background', including *premiering* ones, it was one of the most challenging situations for a vid to be presented under. Even during Club Vivid, I could still enjoy the vids and grasp the careful editing placed into them.

Let me emphasize, this was not a fault of the vidshow and convention organizers. Next day, during the repeat vidshow and against folk still talking, walking in and out of the room during playback, and even tripping over the power cable and stopping the show, I was finally able to see what a good collection of vids was gathered for WinCon 2007. Evidently, I missed Luminosity and Charmax's vids both times (first time, who knows where I was in LA, and second time, being unaware the vidshow had started), but thankfully, many are available online as well.

I wrote this in the notepad I was carrying: "Vidshow repeat was much better than the disappointing first view. For example, I didn't even know what Faithfully was about until the repeat. And when folk started getting too chatty, I moved away."

"Ask about SOS."

"Getting to comment real time with vidder as vid is playing."

The last two are tied into VividCon 2006 and 2007: Killa's SPN vid in 2006 and Ringwench's SPN vid in 2007.

http://de.giveawayoftheday.com/web-stream-recorder-pro-20-rerun/

//Web Stream Recorder Pro, as the name implies, is a network utility (Internet and LAN) that captures and records streams of video and audio data that is being transferred. The tool is frequently used to record live video and audio broadcasts, “teleseminars” or net radio shows. More over, the tool is simply indispensable for situations when the source URL is unknown or is being deliberately obfuscated.

Web Stream Recorder Pro is capable of capturing Windows Media Audio/Video streams (ASF, WMA, WMV, WMX, NSC, WAX), Shoutcast/IceCast streams (MP3 files), GoogleVideo, YouTube and others.//

You still have 20 hours to dl and activate it.

Waiting in Canada-A Fraser/RayK fanvid

[illiriahrising.livejournal.com]

Title: Waiting in Canada
Artist: Jann Arden
Fandom:Due South
Summary: A bit of an AU/Post-COTW scenario in which Ray and Fraser have run into some problems in their relationship and Fraser has returned to Canada. But, of course Fraser still loves Ray and hopes Ray will realize that he still loves Fraser as well and come to Canada...where Fraser is waiting. There's angst and sexiness and planes and cars and did I mention the angst?
Pairing/Character: Fraser/RayK
Rating: M-Mature: Because, ya know, I took some editing liberties with some non-DS source material to illustrate the extent to which their relationship has progressed. In short, there is a bit of the naked man love here and there, but it's done very tastefully!
Format: wmv/zipped
Size: 27.5MB
