I’m seeing post elsewhere about TDK glossy inkjet printables. I don’t find any of these listed yet on the supplier websites. Anyone else have any experience with these? If inkjet can print fine on glossy photopaper, what’s the reason it’s taking so long to get a glossy disc?

Not to be picky, but if someone refers to a response elsewhere, it would be appreciated if they could imbed a link — or just post again here. It’s time consuming to chase a thread across different sites and have to do a search.
But — all informed responses ARE appreciated. -
No kidding. I looked at the upgrade page and it’s totally confusing. I also have most (Premiere Pro, Encore and Audition 1.5)also(AE 6.5 Professional and Photoshop 7), but not all the “Collection” it looks like I’d have to pony up the full $1,249 for an upgrade! (Purchasing the individual pieces eliminates the ability to get/use the “bridge”!)
Not sure it’s worth that from what I’m reading.
It might be a good time to use part of this $$ to get the Sony Vegas/DVD Architect and see what that does. After all Premiere Pro 1.5 is currentlyu dong the job for me. I expected the upgrade to be about half the announced price and thought it would be worthwhile moving to the next release for a reasonable price. However nearly $1,300 seems a little steep for what “enhancements” it appears to include.
AE looks very good, Premiere Pro — so, so, Encore — not sure yet what’s been added that’s of interest, Audition — don’t really use it, Photoshop/Illustrator — ? what I have seems to do the job for me.
Just upgrading AE by itself is a lot cheaper and perhaps the way to go.
For now, I’ll sit and see what the “real” reviews have to say after the upgrades are out and in use. -
Any more thoughts on this? I presume just about everyone has seen the Schwab ads by now. (A cartoon effect was also used at the ad breaks in the 11/21 episode of “Las Vegas” though those were stills and appear to be drawn as the transition seems to show a slight mis-registeration.)
Michael Cohen at Microsoft Research showed work they’d done on this at Siggraph 2004 and there’s a paper they wrote on this — extremely technical and of little use to us regular video guys. -
I would have thought that someone who frequents the forum would have some idea or contact with whomever is doing the Schwab ads. Now that there is a secone one running it easier to see the quality of the work. Due to the smoothness, It is probably NOT a manual frame by frame rotoscope.
I see this effect has now shown up as a single frame cartoon drawing on the Nov. 21 episode of Las Vegas. In this case, these are stills that look like they are redrawn by an artist.
Is there another COW forum that may be more appropriate for this thread — After Effects perhaps?
