I already responded before ala PM. But just to repeat, I would like TWO (2) DVD copies. One for myself, and one to give as a gift to a co-worker who's just as crazy for TFC as I am.

Pm'd you already - obviously interested as I think I started this whole mess.... ha ha ha.....
Hi everyone,
So I have an actual DVD made up and all the cover art designed and printed.
I just have to copy and compile all the DVD's, mailing packaging, and package it all for sending out.
I compiled a list of all the interested parties, if I missed anyone please speak up and let me know:

How soon until we get our grubby little hands on them?

I'm not exactly sure. Long story short... There are more technical issues then I anticipated.
Because I have both legs and about an hour of extra interviews and post game media content on it I had to go with 8.5 GB dual layer DVD's which apparently are notoriously harder to get to burn right. I'm learning as I go and putting in a lot of google research time. This is the first DVD I've composed.
I have burned 4 DVD's so far and only 1 works on my computer and DVD player, and 2 only work on my computer with the fourth not working at all.
Each burn takes me 30 to 45 minutes.
I have about 20 DVD's to make up.
Then I have to cut up the artwork and place it and package and label the DVD for mailing.
Doing it a few hours a day and picking away at it, it's going to be a couple of weeks. They'll slowly start to mail out by the end of this week.
Learning the DVD authoring software (DVD Styler) and the myriad of burning software and it's nuances (Building, ISO, Video-TS, Images, write speeds, Verbatim vs other DVD brands, etc) I went with IMGBurn; has been time consuming as well.
I have to say it looks really good though. The DVD menu looks a little amateurish but the rest looks pretty professional.
I'll email everyone some sneak peeks.
Thanks Alonso, I'm very excited about this. Thanks so much for spending the time to put this together for us!

Cosign thanks tons for this
Thank you again Alonso!
No problem at all guys, I'm kinda of glad tfcfans put me up to this, thanks to tfcfans!
It's turning into a labour of love and I'm liking the results!
It's something we can all enjoy together.
Thanks Alonso!! --- I'm just happy you don't resent me for asking you to go down this (sometimes frustrating and time consuming) road....
Any updates on the process Alonso? No rush, just curious....
I have the ability to burn three dvd's at once if that helps.
Feel free to send over the project files and I can burn some too.
Hey guys, sorry for not checking in lately, just been busy.
I have all the DVD's burned, all the art work printed and compiled, just have to package and mail it all out! So for sure, this week, you'll have them in your "grubby little hands" (Redcoe).
When I mail them out I'll email you all.
Sorry for the wait but it didn't go as smoothly as I expected.
And thanks Flambe for the offer.

Amazing thanks man, lemme know how ya want the cash
Thank you again Alonso. All the time and effort you put into this project is greatly appreciated.
Thank you sir !!!
Thanks Alonso, Let me know when and where to send the cash.
Will you be at Shoeless Joes on Saturday? If so we can exchange DVD for cash then if it's easier.

Got mine in the mail. Thanks tons! Can't wait to give it a watch!
Can't wait to get mine! As mentioned by others, let me know where to send the money!
YAY ALONSO!!! ----
I just got mine and opened it and started watching though all the various chapters and menus.....AWESOME!!
I have sent you an EMT already (as per your email request to the group) --- it is my absolute pleasure to do so --- I have a feeling others will want a copy of this once they see how great it is.....if I was at all a small push in getting you to undertake this task then I am grateful for having nudged you in this direction.....and to think all of this started from some people making fun of me as a technological dinosaur and wanting some type of "permanent memento" ......
Thanks again Alonso; the number of truly awesome people I have met and dealt with throughout my 10+ years with this group never ceases to amaze me!!
COYR!!
