Updates

The 4th anniversary of Titan A.E. is coming up in a few months.... geezus. It's been a long time. Amazing how time flies?
I have some stuff I could probably update to the site sometime for the anniversary, if anyone is interested... I was thinking of taking more screenshots (provided my DVD player works, it hasn't been working)... I've also thought about adding some more to the music section. I own the albums of several of the artists who did music for the movie, if anyone is interested in knowing more about them (I know most of my music interests started with Titan AE). I recently got a hold of Splashdown's shelved album, "Blueshift", which is just spiffy. If anyone's interested I can provide more information about Splashdown and some of the other artists, and would more than welcome any information anyone else has. It's also been four years and I've still yet to find or figure out all the lyrics to "Everything Under the Stars".... hah! Oh yeah, I forgot, I also got a hold of the Titan AE comic books last year... I have some scans of that and such, too.
If you're reading this (and the chances of someone reading this are slim? Dunno.) and are interested in more updates to the site, drop me a line... padfoot(at)tigrin.net. Replace (at) with the @ symbol, of course. Of course, always welcome contributes to the site, too... I wanted the site to be rather interactive so it's not just me dictacting the content. :) Well, knowing me I might end up updating eventually with or without encouragement, but still... I don't check stats any longer so I'm unsure of what's up and who cares.
I've had several people in the past ask me about taking screenshots from DVDs and I'm sorry if I never got around to replying... this is how I've been doing it. First, you have to have a DVD drive for your computer... I'll leave that up to you. Next, you need to turn off hardware acceleration... this is what makes it so that when you hit "Print Screen", it gives you a black box. In Windows, you can go to the desktop or the Control Panel and go to Display >> Properties >> Settings >> Advanced... >> Performance. Set "Hardware Acceleration" to none. There is probably a different way around to this on different opperating systems... I'm working on Windows ME, I know XP is really bizarre in some ways they tweaked things. Depending on what media program you're using to play a video file or the DVD, you might also need to scope around the program settings and turn off anything they have like "hardware acceleration". I haven't tested it but when you're done and have restarted and all you probably should be able to just hit "Print Screen" and paste the screenshot into any graphics program... I use WinDVD, which comes with an option to just hit "P" and get a screenshot, very convenient... I recommend getting a DVD program with screenshot capability, saves hassle. ;) Hope that helps...
