The DemoDVD Project

Phoenix

Hornet (the former demo archive group) and Fusecon (co-creator of the Audiophonik CD) are hard at work on a new DVD (Digital Video Disc) that will showcase several hours of PC demos. The DVD is dual-purposed and thus will have two sides: - Side 1: Modern, "eye-candy" demos. These are geared to grab the attention of everyone, including your non-scene friends and family. - Side 2: Classic, "oldschool" demos. These are the demos you just can't get running anymore, and you'll get a kick out of watching again, even if others just might think you're crazy! Note that this will be an actual video DVD, one that you can watch on your TV! But of course, if you want the original files, they will be on the DVD too. You can expect all kinds of features, not limited to: - Optional commentaries on the demos while they play - Menu screens to select each demo - Alternate audio tracks with both original and remastered soundtracks - A short documentary on the demoscene - Several hidden surprises For more information, please visit the website: -> www.demodvd.org <- It will be updated with the latest news on the project. Be sure to read the FAQ section, as it will answer most of your questions! Currently, the important section of the website is the survey. Please help us out by completing the online survey! Here you can help us choose which demos you want to see on the DVD! You can also tell us how we should present them, and what quality tradeoffs you'll be happy with. When voting on the survey, keep in mind that this DVD will focus on PC demos only. If it is successful, we would like to make further volumes for Amiga, C64, and maybe even intros! We'll just have to see what the future holds. For technical DemoDVD questions, feel free to contact Trixter (trixter@oldskool.org), or to give us permission to include your group's demos (or just to say hello :), you can contact Phoenix (email below). Thanks for your help! - Phoenix, DemoDVD team (phoenix@hornet.org)
