QuoteRifftrax isn't going to a public domain VOD business model because it's easier for customers.  They're doing it because it's more profitable.

It could be more profitable because it's easier for customers.  When deciding which Rifftrax to check out, a lot of people may be going with the ones that don't involve an irritating chore to enjoy.
...Or maybe people just prefer the old MST3Kie style trashy films.  I dunno, just a thought.

Syncing is a pain in the butt. Come on, admit it.

I'm going to try the new rifftrax riff machine soon on a better computer than I did the first time.. I hope it makes it all a little less painless.

Honestly, until I heard of reauthoring, I synced manually and did not find it difficult.  Sure, pausing caused problems, but otherwise, I didn't find it much of a chore at all.

When manually syncing I normally use an iPod connected to computer speakers.  The only issue I usually run into is when things drift out of sync, pausing the wrong one for a moment and making things worse.  Should make myself a flash card that says what to do if the movie or dis is heard first so I don't have to think about it when it happens.

I was an early adopter of Rifftrax and got a lot of my friends into them. I enjoyed the novelty of the newer movies being riffed. I have many of the different "Blockbuster" riffs, but I have never purchased a VOD. They don't seem to me to be as enjoyable as the newer movie riffs. I have never had a problem or been bugged simply by syncing a riff.

While Rifftrax used to be a website that I would visit often and spend my money, more recently I have come with less and less frequency. I do not begrudge the guys making the kind of product that gains them more profit. I just wish that there was still a little of that "Blockbuster Riff Smell" around here.

I bought KK3 as soon as it came out, and I would continue to buy blockbuster riffs to this day. But until that happens unfortunately I have nothing to spend my money on.

I will gladly take your money.

I should have figured that my argument would be parsed, however I guess I am not allowed to base my opinion on the samples that they put out. The samples that are supposed to make us want to purchase one.

I have no desire to argue/discuss. I just wanted to voice my opinion and leave it at that. Again, it is only my opinion. If you like the VOD's, great! Enjoy!

I like the VOD's... every one of them I have seen so far (this excludes the 3 most recent) have been fantastic....  but aside from that, I agree with your thoughts and complaints about lack of MP3 riffs entirely.

If you have watched MST3K, you have a good idea what the VOD's are like.  So, there's your answer to the, "you don't know if you haven't tried it" comments.

Not really my point, but damn funny.  :)

I dunno, I just like Rifftrax of popular films even better than MST3K.  I loved MST3K but loved that Rifftrax was different.  Anyway, whatever.
