The Hollywood Creatice Directory has a free download available of their latest
edition. Click the link below for details.
http://www.hcdonline.com/blubook/
The NEW DOWNLOADABLE Blu-Book Production Directory is a comprehensive directory
for professionals in the production and post-production industries. With the
thousands of updates to the 2009 edition, you will find all the current contact
information needed to produce a film, TV program, commercial, or music video.
The directory contains a special tabbed section on premier below-the-line craft
professionals, along with selective credits, and has been expanded to include
New York production facilities and services, making it one of the only
bi-coastal resources of its kind.
We had a number of clients that needed multi-bit streaming for a video page.
This page must look like the website and not a typical video. We hunted and
hunted and came up empty. To make a long story short we developed a page (full
screen) that will deliver 150 kilobytes and up. Our player pings constantly and
will change the delivery rate on the fly without interrupting the video feed.
Our steaming does not BUFFER and is not progressive.
We are offering to provide this technology for other web and video companys. We
will stay in the background and not interfere with your relationship with your
client. Give us your video and we will design the player or players. One other
benefit is that we can play video on video which opens up many more
opportunities.
Give us a call at 941-869-6422 or email actionscript7@...
Here is an example of a video page. We did the opening and the clients web
company did the rest of the site.

1. No SPAM! Many spammers will join groups/lists in order to spam the members.
Not nice!
2. No flaming or harassment of other members. Questions asked by members are
because they want information and don't know where else to turn to get answers.
Everyone at one time or another probably has a question about something. In the
case for most of the groups I join, it is for computer help. Most of the time I
can provide the help, but there have been times I needed help. I certainly would
be very upset if someone started making fun of me because I didn't know the
answer!
3. Provide as much information about your issue as possible. This include the
information on the Subject line.
3a. When replying to postings, please make sure that you are responding to the
coorect person. If its a posting for the whole group, please reply to the group
at the_group_la@yahoogroups.com. If its s response to a posting, please reply
to that person.
4. When replying to a post or email, it's a good idea to remove all
but the previous messages. When you don't, you are replying to
replies, replying to replies. Eventually you will be posting a very
long messy post just to say a couple words. There will be a long
line of irrelevant text.
By removing all but the post you are replying to, you will not only
be removing a pile of irrelevant text and making it much easier to
read for the reader, but you will be saving bandwidth.
And let's not forget that some people have group messages sent
to their email inbox. Who wants a long drawn out email?
5. And lastly, before pressing the 'Send' button, read what you wrote to be sure
you do not sound condescending and do a spell check!
If anyone's looking to crew up on Avid assistants or editors, or know of anyone that is, please let me know and I can send over my resume. Thanks in advance.

We have developed a player that will deliver full screeen content to our clients
at as low as 150 Kbps. Our server will ping your computer and deliver the video
at the best rate. The nicest feature is that it will change speeds without the
client knowing. Many people think that their bandwidth is constant, wrong.
Come and see our site. When you go to the sample page there will be a 4 second
delay and then your off and running. Please email if you are interested in this
technology.
