Danger, Danger! High Voltage! last modified: Sunday, January 07, 2007 (2:29:29 AM) I worked all day today to find a copy of
Raggedy Ann & Andy: A musical Adventure online. I finally tracked down a forum post by a guy who spent the last year digitally remastering it, and just finished posting it on Google Video last month. So I fiddled with somethings until I could download the AVI. I wanted to put it on disk so we could watch it in our Dixv/avi enabled DVD Player. 513 MB fits fine on a disk, but the codec wasn't one supported by our DVD player. So I tried to convert it to an Mpeg, but it was too big, and kept making more than one file. After posting around for some advise on forums, somone pointed me to virtualdubmod. A so, Zag ventured forth into the confusing new world of encoding video. It took at least another hour to figure stuff out (even with an guide provided by AMV.org) but it worked! I was thrilled~! This movie had a strong impact on my childhood, and I was estatic that I'd get to share it with my kids. So around 1am, I popped it in, and Cam and I sat down to watch it .. er.. to make sure the encoding worked well,.. yeah.. ;) Just as the credits began rolling at the end, the most annoying noise in the world went off. The building Fire Alarm. After quickly assertaining that it was a stove fire in our immediate neighbor's apartment, and that it was out, I called the FD. (Our neighbors aparently have zero brains in a crisis.) Then Cam and I woke the kids and rushed them into clothes, bundled them in blankets and fled out the window with the accordian file I keep all our birth certificates and other important papers in. 3 engines and an ambulance came withing 2 minutes of my phone call, confirmed it was out, started the proceedure to re-set the alarm, and clear the smoke. So we piled in the car and drove to a 24-hour McDonalds until the chaos was over. Now it's just a matter of getting the kids BACK to sleep. So... I put in the new movie! They love it! =D ps. bonus points to those who knew where the blog title came from. It's been running through my head all day.
i was thinking more along the kines of danger, danger will robinson. howeve it went. i remember that movie. dont remember how it went though.
LOL! I''m with Kira. The Will Robinson version is what I was thinking of too. ~_^ *hugs* Glad everyone and everything is okay. Man, to just get in there and have the place burn down would just suuuuuuuuuuck. <.<
Do you have the cel for the "cel around the world project?" We''re all kind of wondering what happened. |
