Hi -

I recently completed another trail-related DVD, this time based on the 2003 
long-distance season on the PCT. I have about 70 copies available that I 
want to give away. All  I need is an address. Postage is going up on Monday, 
and for this type of package, rates will be more than double, so I need all 
the requests in the next day or so (by Friday morning) so I can ship at the 
lower rate.  So don't be shy and send in your request (postal address).

This is definitely my favorite one so far, as far as the artistic/editing 
side of things. Even thought it's primary audience is the PCT 03-ers, I also 
tried to design it to be something that other audiences could 
appreciate/benefit from as well.  The DVD combines the photos and video 
contributions of about 50 hikers from 2003. Thousands of photos and many 
hours of video footage have been sorted through and edited down to create 
it. The result is a year-book style format that attempts to include as many 
people as possible from that season, as well as a great way for PCT hikers 
to share their photography with each other.

I suggest trying to replicate a movie theatre environment as much as 
possible when you watch this - a dark room with good sound quality, and in 
one sitting. For best picture quality, wide screen and HDTV’s should be set 
to a 4:3 aspect ratio.

If you have the other presentations I've done previously, this might be 
worth getting because I've done a bunch of things differently this time, and 
it might be interesting to see the contrast.....

Quick note about the DVD menu buttons -

I was having trouble with the DVD software. "Play Movie" and "Chapters" are 
horizontal to each other, but to move from one to the other, you have to 
press the up-down buttons instead of the left-right buttons. It's worth 
checking out the other menu pages and letting the music/imagery play out for 
a few minutes in each. Menu #2 is especially effective as a preview of the 
whole program....

one last note - there's more after the closing credits, so resist pressing 
stop too soon.....

Send in your addresses to me by friday at noon eastern time. Thanks!
