[Ron Craig] “Jeez, I just looked at the pricing for DoStudio. I can believe it’s good software if you say so, Walter, but it’s way too expensive for me as I try to dip my toe into Blu-Ray. No way I can justify that expense yet. Hopefully, in the long run it will be a reasonable business expense for me.”
This is why they offer a monthly license fee. If you only have one or two projects in the pipeline, you can rent the license for a month, and drop it until you have your next Blu-Ray project. IOW, you pay for it when you need it, and you don’t pay for it when you don’t need it.
BTW, there are many video/film software titles that offer this type of “pay for what you need” licensing, including some of the most expensive VFX software & plugin titles. It makes otherwise “unaffordable” software very affordable.
And if you don’t think that you can make enough profit to cover the $395 for a one month rental, then either you need to charge more for Blu-Ray, or your clients don’t need Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray is more expensive than DVD in every way. The blank disks cost more, the encoding software costs more and the authoring software costs more. It makes sense that you should charge more for authoring under those conditions.

[Ben Lithman] “he other question i had was to do with the different RAID system 0,1,5 etc. and which one strikes the best balance with security and capacity.”
This wikipedia article is a good place to start. It explain things pretty well without getting too technical.

You cannot do this with FCP. Take a look at Tricaster or VT5, both from Newtek.

You can use an Elgato Turbo.264 for encoding to H.264 in near realtime. But you’ll need to export a reference movie from FCP first.

The best way to achieve stop motion effects is to use stop motion animation techniques. BTW, the “Chairy Tale” video does not use pixelation, at least not the minute or so that I actually watched. That’s just some string or fishing line attached to the chair & pulled from off camera.

[Michael Lansdell] “the footage is 1950’s archive, so a reshot isn’t really an option.”
This footage must have originated on film and must have 2:3 pulldown. Retiming without removing the pulldown will be problematic. You’ll probably need to use Shake or AE to remove the pulldown. While you’re at it, you can retime the footage there, as well.

In no particular order:
Zulu: Great sound design (many years before it was even called that!), great battle scenes, fantastic climax.
Intolerance: One of the first classics of the silent era. A complex structure of interwoven story lines that’s still easy to follow.
M: One of the most chilling scenes of it’s day is when the shadow of the “child murderer” stalks his victim.
The Third Man: Beautifully photographed, structured and paced.
Wings: The first movie to ever win the “Best Picture” Oscar. Still some of the best aerial combat scenes ever filmed, and very cute VFX scene (“Bubbles!”).
The Searchers: There’s a reason so many great directors love this film. It’s another example of beautiful photography, solid structure and good pacing.
Foreign Correspondent: Perhaps my favorite Hitchcock film, with some of the snappiest dialog on the screen outside of Preston Sturges or Ben Hecht.
I could go on, but I feel like I’m starting to babble!
