Bill Kirkpatrick has just published a tutorial on how to create a compilation of DVD clips for classroom use, using a Mac: http://tvcrit3.tvcrit.com/content/view/68/116/ He takes the reader through the process step-by-step -- from acquiring clips from copyrighted DVDs to burning them onto a new DVD. And he does it all with free software. As you may know, in the US the Librarian of Congress has granted TV/film instructors the right to assemble such clip-DVDs -- as was discussed on ScreenSite on 24 November 2006: http://www.screensite.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=1 To my knowledge, this is the first tutorial to guide TV/film instructors through the compilation process. I'm sorry that, at this point, the tutorial is only applicable to Mac computers. If this email reaches someone with similar knowledge on the Windows platform who would be willing to write a tutorial, please let me know and we'll add it to TVCrit.com. -- Jeremy Butler www.ScreenLex.org www.ScreenSite.org www.TVCrit.com www.AllThingsAcoustic.org Professor - TCF Dept. - U Alabama ---- To sign off Screen-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF Screen-L in the message.
