    I got a chance to do a quick demo last night and noticed that the video kept stopping and starting. Is this expected with the way it was created? The disc was loose in the case when it got here but I noticed no damage. I believe every thing is Ok from a equipment standpoint. I will try agin this evening with a little more time on my hands. Thanks for the setup disc, it was a nice bonus. opus

    Picked up the disk from opus tonight. I put it in to see if it worked ok (it did, but chapter skip does not work, it is like it is changing titles, not chapters) Play appeard smooth.

    I did not get much of a chance to see or hear anything before my daughter (5 years old) informed me "I don't like this movie, I want to pick another one" So now I am wondering what else is on the disk since I am not overly interested in what Dora and Boots will find in the large yellow egg.:rolleyes:

    Thanks so much for putting this together (and for the setup disk) I will play with it for a few days and report back with how it goes before sending it on.

    As an added bonus I only live about 20-30min from Opus. Always nice to meet another polkie.... :)

    If yall havnt done it...

    Wait till your families are gone and play those Bass Mekanic songs...

    That is the LOUDEST and HARDEST HITTING bass I have ever heard and seen! There was stuff in the bathroom rattling in the bathtub...

    Just insane amounts of bass...

    PolkThug,
    Do you have those songs in an audio file??

    :cool:

    Does anyone have a link to the recording rule book? I would be interested to see how close this type activity is to a spanking by the RIAA.

    Ok done. Again "Sweet", thanks for making me part of this.


    I can say that 40 Hz - 0 Hz is a bit scary with my sub. ;) Somewhere around the lower end it actually gets LOUDER.


    Other then that, who's next? I thought it was Faster100? He's off the list now can someone clear that up for me.

    Come to think of it, I'm going to need to get put toward the bottom of the list - I'll be around until Christmas, but then I'll be gone until after the 1st of the year as well -
    Maybe someone can E-mail me when it's my turn?
    Or I'll revisit and get on the list after the 1st.......
