Film Crew Interview

[Rodney]

yeah there's a thread about it here: http://www.rifftrax.com/smf/index.php?topic=2852.0

The writer did correct himself in the comments, Kevin asked him to.

Thanks for the 411. 

sorry I missed that thread and started a whole new one.  What a waste!

Bob Honcho here.

It's regrettable that the interview at Mania.com got his facts wrong. As has been indicated on this thread, RiffTrax continues to put out great products and grow. We hope the same holds true for The Film Crew and any other of Mike, Bill, and Kevin's ventures.

Signed,

A Shout! Factory employee

Poor Bob Honcho has to look around and run damage control. :^)

I think it's safe to assume that everyone here will buy anything that has the guys riffing movies on it. At this point, Shout Factory could sell Beta max or Sony Mini-CDs with the three guys and I would pick it up.

Anything but Divx

What's wrong with DivX? They offer many quality shows and movies on demand!

Paying for a hacked codec seems wrong to me...

GO XVID!

[BathTub]

You've got your video codec in my proprietary hardware!

I don't know about you guys, but a format that allows me to just throw away every DVD I watch after the allotted time period is genius in my book.


(somewhere, in a field full of discarded DivX DVDs, a tear rolls down an Indian's cheek...)

"I thought the purpose of an interview was to connect fans with the subject being interviewed, not to alienate them. Your handling of this interview is ham-fisted at best, insulting at worst. My advice would be to repress your urge to flex your funny bone and instead pay more attention to imparting factual information to your readership. Leave the comments about your inability to hit play on iPod in sync with your DVD player where they belong, on your MySpace blog."

[MrTorso]

Ouch!

[gbeenie]

I think some folks are confusing the helpful DivX video codec of today with the utterly failed Divx pay-per-view DVD scheme of the late 90's.

[torgosPizza]

Yeah, the DivX codec is free and so is the basic player. I think there is even a free encoder, so you can take digitally-stored movies... say, your home movies... and compress them to one DivX file that fits on a DVD. That one file includes all your titles, chapters and menus.

And ...  wait ... Is this a DivX-bashing party? Nevermind then.

[AmandaGal]

Yeah, I've never paid for anything and I watch AND encode DIVX movies.

I apologize for the confusion:
