I said I would finish editing the 05 Blacklick video before Oct and sure enough I have.... I never said what year.

I'm including the just edited video from 05 Backlick along with the W113 Promo video from 03 and Jim "Villers Springs and Shocks" presentation on one DVD.

If you would like a copy send me your mailing address.

I just sent my info to Dick.
In case you need a little incentive. Dick did a first class job on the video he did for the session in 2003 and it was dandy!

Hello Dick,
Please put me on the list also. I was also impressed with the excellent quality of your previous work!

Thanks,

Hi Dick,
I'd love one. However, if there is a limit to how many you are doing, by all means let those who participated have first dibs. I could always "borrow" yours -- and we can save postage either way (as soon as things thaw out (again!).

Joe you are the star so of course you are on the list... James your's will be hand dellivered.

The list is growing and I'm waiting to see if number of requests is beyond my one at time production capability. If anyone know anything about duplication of DVDs please chime in... I can use the guidance.

Hello Dick,

I am also very interested. However, I can "read" only a DVD.
Can you help me?
Many thanks in advance.
Best,

Hi Achim,
I'm pleased to send the DVD. If your computer has a DVD drive and WIndows MediaPlayer you can play the DVD. It plays best however on a home DVD player... not sure if Euro(PAL)versions players are an issue... maybe someone here can help out.

Send me your mailing address and I'll put it on the list.

Reminder...
If you want a copy of the DVD please send me your address so I can type up the mailing list and print labels (slow typist). I have 35 requests to date.

Master DVD (pictured) was mailed this morning to Ray in Florida to be duplicated. Because of Ray's generosity the cost to you is ... free

The DVD has 3 video programs .. Blacklick Tech Session 2005 (10 min), W113 Group Promo produced in 2003 (9 min) and Jim Villers Blacklick 2005 presentation on springs and shocks (18 min).

Hello Dick.

I want to order a DVD. Please inform me about your data:

You will send your dates to:

In Europe, you will need a DVD player that is region code free. You can get one for about 50-60 euros these days. PC-DVD players sometimes allow you to play both region format DVD's for a couple of times before you are obliged to make a permanent selection of one of the region code formats.

By the way, the Pagoda Group (our club here) commits to reimbursing you (Dick and Ray) for your out-of-pocket expenses in producing and mailing out all of these DVD's. After all it includes promotional material for the club. Thanks for all the work going into this production!

Cees (and Detlef),

Commercial DVDs are often region-encoded. This "feature" was added to DVDs at the insistence of the movie studios, who wanted to control when movies were available in various geographies. (We [the original DVD Technical Working Group, of which I was a member] had to agree to region encoding in players in order for the studios to agree to publish movies on DVD.)

I sincerely doubt that the DVDs produced by Dick and Ray would have any region codes on them.

-David Pease

P.S. Region encoding is really just one character on the disk that identifieds the region (there are 6 of them) that the disk is allowed to play in. There is no real difference in encoding.

P.P.S. There is also the issue of PAL versus NTSC - perhaps that is what you were thinking of?

Hey Dick M,

Did you receive my email last week?

As I don't have a DVD player for the TV, will it play on the DVD player on the PC?

PAL system in Australia, is that important if viewed on the PC monitor?

Hi Bob..
Yes I have your email but have not responded to them individually. We now have about 40 requests.
The DVD should play on most PCs but looks better on a DVD player. I don't think PAL is an issue on your PC playback but someone who knows may want to respond.

Hi guys, I've been up to my ears in a documentary but will be doing the DVD duplications this week. Region coding will not be a problem on the discs we produce. The original video is NTSC* but your computer should handle it just fine. We are going to spruce up the label a bit and burn the copies Wednesday.

I have only had the opportunity to view the overview piece that Dick did, (I presume that is you doing the voice over) and he did a good job with the storytelling. I am looking forward to the session on springs and shocks as that is my next big project. Once again we see the talent and interest of our devoted fellow owners paying off for all of us.

(*NTSC is the American standard and stands for "Never Twice Same Color" :mrgreen: )

All of the discs have been mailed. Some in the US will arrive today, (Friday 3/24)the rest very soon. The USPS promises European delivery in appx. 5 days, Australia may take a bit longer. In all we mailed out 55 DVDs.

Dick and I have discussed collaborating on a 2007 Blacklick video. I hope that works out. In the mean time, this one will be helpful for anyone preparing to do springs or shocks. I am about to do both.

Received the cd today and have watched it twice so far. It is an outstanding and unique tool for these classic works of art on wheels.
