FanFest 2016--Blu-ray disk?
By: wstagner Date: February 3, 2016, 5:00 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
A blu-ray disk requires either a standalone blu-ray disk player
or a blu-ray disk player in your computer, and software capable
of playing blu-ray disks.
Currently FanFest requires 3 Dual layer disks, just for the
musical performances.
Based upon my estimates, 3 blu-ray disks would be required to
produce a true HD version.
Currently the DL disks provide the same resolution as a standard
definition DVD.

Thanx for doing the research Walt. We
probably have jammers who are still using
regular DVD players so at this point it isn't
a 'viable' option anyway!
Goin' with DL's this year proved to be a wise
decision on your part. We eliminated 2 xtra
single layer discs in the process & the VIDEO
QUALITY & SOUND has improved each year!

We don't have either a blue ray player or DVD player. We had too
much bad luck with them.
Most of our computers do have DVDs readers.
Have you considered using flash drives? I know they are not as
reliable, but flash drives are cheap and many new TVs can read
them.

That's a thought Steve- I'll have to discuss your suggestion
with Walt. & I've gotta
touch base with Kanad Ghose as well on the post fest approach
with all our footage!
He said he also had a few ideas!

Flash drive? Just take your DVD, put it in a computer drive and
copy the VOB files to it. Newer SMART TVs can read those, so I
see no sense selling USB drives. I also see a security problem
as well. Depending what machine it was copied from, there is
the risk of malware. A hidden file named autorun.inf can cause
older unprotected systems to automatically play the flash drive
in your computer and install software or worse. Flash drives -
don't take this risk, however slight.
TIP: Do you have The Ventures music and videos on your SMART
phones or tablets? Get a inexpensive Chromecast (versions 1 or
2), made by Google. For $35 or less, you can broadcast from
your phone or tablet to your PC from across the room, remote
control. You can also get a cheap ($35-40) discontinued Google
Nexus Player and hook it up to your SMART TV. It has storage
and is portable!
I work in Computer repair and test Apps and hardware for a
living - The Ventures music by my side at all times!

All very informative. I'll be seeing STEVE CRUZ in a couple
Saturdays down at Dennis Cote's so I'll share your thoughts
with him 'bout the 'flash drive route.'
And I still need to touch base with Kanad Ghose. Me thinks
he also has a couple different approaches!

A flash drive with The Ventures logo sounds cool, I'd buy one
for sure!~ Make it 128 gigabytes capacity as my Ventures digital
collection is nearly 50 gigabytes and I can then add some videos
to it.

Keep that thought buddy- it's a 'good one'
& one that should be run by FIONA TAYLOR
at the fest in October. Last I heard (recently)
she's planning on making 'her first' fest!
