The Library of Congress’s Copyright Office on Wednesday granted an exemption to film professors, allowing them to break the copy-protection codes on DVDs in order to create compilations of movie clips for their classes. Although such compilations are permitted under "fair use" interpretation of the copyright law, breaking the CSS security code is not. Studios had argued that the professors could use VHS tapes of the same films, but the professors countered that such tapes are often not available and those that are lack the quality of the DVDs. The ruling — along with others dealing with copyright law handed …

I was just thinking this morning about Apple, and their unspoken agreement with creative digital media professionals, and yes, there is one. Steve (Jobs) makes the offer to you of a free new Apple computer every year. Plus, he’ll pay you a little cash to take it.
Many perceive that Apple purposely drives software development such that the computer that was screaming fast last year is barely chugging through jobs this year. Now that Apple supplies us with most of the software we use every day, they have more control over this planned obsolescence than ever before.

We have had many questions on how much to charge for various jobs. When I first got into the biz almost 20 years ago, the standard for industrial video production (training, marketing etc.) was $1000 per finished minute. So a 20 minute piece would be $20,000, including planning, shooting and editing.

And here’s the documentation.
Think about this:
More and more people are buying HD TVs. HD DVD standards are still settling. Walk into a Blockbuster or check out NetFlix, and you’ll find all DVDs are SD (Standard Definition) except for just a couple exceptions.
However, after the next year or two, NO ONE is going to want to rent or buy a low resolution, SD DVD.
Once someone wins the HD DVD format wars, major movie studios are going to have to totally scramble to re-release their entire catalog on HD DVD.
There’s no way current DVD authoring businesses can handle the workload. They’ll be working 24 hour …
