I've got the bandwidth to host this so called monster. If the organizers of the DDR project want it hosted, they can feel free to contact me. That reminds me, I need to bug Scott about acquiring a copy of This is Otakudom for hosting purposes...

It's around 700 MB for an MPEG-1. You'll need to get it from someone else though, because with my upload cap it'd take several days to upload ^^;;

the DVD order form is up:

Basically you have to put in your order now, when they have the minimun order requirement it will go to printing and then they'll ship them out.

Can someone order me one; they don't do shipping outside US and Canada ^_^;;;

Well if people who have copies of either of those projects would like me to host them (as I have volunteered in the past). They can feel free to contact me and we can work out how they are getting said files to me so that I can put them up.

Then again this could just be a subtle ploy for me to gain control of the means of distribution of amvs, and then eventually work my way to world domination!

Yours is on me, as long as you show up at Jacon to pick it up :D

O.o

Just tried ordering 2 discs from their site and I end up with a runtime error. :(

So...... I called them long distance and informed them about the error I was getting and then placed my order by phone ^_^

Man, it gave me a runtime error too. Better than a "Not rendered" error :roll:

I'll give them 1 day, then call ....

I let them know about the error when I called. Hopefully that means they'll fix it :P

I got a call back from them about my order, apparently their spam filter isn't allowing them to send mail out. :oops: I just went back through the order form process again, and it worked just fine (you get a page to print out instead of an email, at least at the moment).

By the looks of it, 23 other people have ordered the DVD so far.

Ummm...

is it me or is $15 just a little high for something that no one's supposed to profit from? I remember what kind of flaming we had on the board when people were charging $6...

but that's me.

And yea, that does sounds a little fishy seeing as I have bought anime dvds cheaper.

DVD companies can usually produce thousands... these will be producing dozens.

It's not going to be DVD-R stuff, it's a proper printing job so I'd imagine the overhead would be high-ish.

try doing a low print run of a pressed DVD (as far as i know... those are not DVD-rs... they are actually pressed glass master DVDs... no incompatibility issues with pressed discs)

and when with work I have pressed discs... a run of 1000 (the smallest run I could do) cost $12 a disc...

as the run gets smaller each discs costs more.... I think he has a good deal with hsi presser to get a run under 1000... but as a result the per discs cost goes up...

the nice thing... is once the glass master is made... second and third runs here at work have been much cheaper (making a glass master is expensive... to the pressing house spreads the cost in a per discs for the first run)
Lead me not to temptation, for I have deadlines

And seeing as how they ran Iron Chef beautifully at a financial loss (they're a business, not fans), I'd willingly let them keep a couple bucks off my DVD.
