Having trouble playing downloaded films? http://www.videolan.org/
Anyone heard of this? It's great for playing downloaded movies on pc with .bin and other weird and wonderful extensions. Saves having to convert or wait ages to burn.
Good luck

Anyone willing to chat to a filmmaker about raving? Hello there...
I work for an independent television company as a researcher, and I'm trying to put together a short film about raves and free parties. If it goes well, then the plan is to try and get a broadcaster interested in commissioning a longer film. Although I have been to raves myself in the past, I'm not really a regular on the scene, so I'd like to talk to as many people as I can about their experiences of raving, and in particular the politics and ethos which go with it.
I've already done some interviews and I understand that a lot of people are nervous about talking about what they do on camera. So I'd be perfectly happy to do off the record interviews with a notebook and pen (even over the phone if you like), or with your identity hidden on the camera. Just please get in touch if you'd like to contribute your views in any way!
You can contact me by email at hannah_lucinda_smith@yahoo.co.uk, or by phone on

Thanks for looking!

Can anyone help towards my research for a film i’m making on travellers? It's the last and final film i'm making for college and i'd love to make it a good one. It's going to be an observational documentary on what it is to be a traveller, from a travellers perspective, hopefully educating people to the truths and myths that shroud the community.
Because it's going to be observational, it should prove to be what's essentially a means of self representation. So basicly, if/when i get the opportunity to film on one of my local sites, it'll be an opportunity for the guys to portray themselves however they want. (so if they've been having trouble with the local ol' dear round the corner who thinks they're loud and dis respectful to the neighbourhood, then it'll be a chance for them to prove her wrong.)
So basicly, as part of my research, i wanted to know whether you guys thought it was a good idea. Whether you think it'll make a difference. Or whether you've got any advice on where i should go from here.
Would be a massive help.
Thankyou my loves

UK : Junk food ads to be banned on childrens TV Today Ofcom (the British communications ministry) has announced that junk food ads are to be banned at the times when TV aimed at kids/young people is broadcast.
Many other countries in Europe already do this.
However, the companies making commercial childrens TV have claimed that it has eliminated much of their revenue stream.
In Britain our main commercial broadcaster (ITV) has actually closed down its childrens TV production because of this, claiming that it is no longer economically viable?
I also learned that one Danish commercial TV station (TV3?) actually transmits its childrens TV from London so it can escape these rules - but now I expect Ofcom will also be in charge of this station as it is technically "British", so maybe these channels could also close?
I don't have kids myself but I can understand the need to look after their health - however I did work in the TV industry and lots of jobs are being lost because of this; as well as many innovative TV programmes no longer being made.
Its also removed a career path for many people, as lots of todays presenters and reporters started out in childrens and young persons TV...
What does everyone think about this?
Making films at Uni … this is so funny Just a quick link to a film made at uni ... its quite a laugh thought I'd share ... thats if I can get the url to work .. no technophobe me raaa

Italy blocks TV show on politicians’ drug use ROME (Reuters) - Italy's privacy authority on Tuesday suspended transmission of a satirical TV programme which found widespread drug use among politicians, but the decision only fanned the storm created by the show's report.
The programme, Le Iene, announced on Monday it had secretly tested 50 lower house deputies for illegal substances and found almost one third had taken drugs in the previous 36 hours, 12 of them testing positive for cannabis and four for cocaine.
The latest exploit by the Iene (the Hyenas), well known for pranks that embarrass public figures, was on the front page of most of Italy's newspapers on Tuesday, with politicians' reactions ranging from satisfaction to anger.
A reporter for the programme, pretending to be an interviewer for a non-existent satellite TV show, approached the deputies for their views on the 2007 draft budget, while a bogus make-up artist dabbed their brow between filming.
The cells collected by the dabbing were then tested for drugs. Le Iene is shown on Italia Uno, one of the three national channels owned by Mediaset, the broadcaster controlled by the family of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
The decision by the privacy authority to block the programme's transmission, scheduled for Tuesday evening, was taken because the tests had been conducted in a secret and illicit manner.
Several of the 50 deputies tested appealed for the programme to be aired, and right-wing member of the European Parliament, Alessandra Mussolini, the granddaughter of wartime dictator Benito Mussolini, said the decision showed Italy was governed by an illiberal "regime".
"The censoring of a journalistic inquiry is a grave episode which I will take to the European Parliament, it's an absolute disgrace," she said.
Italo Bocchino of the conservative National Alliance party, who on Monday had threatened to sue the programme makers, said in view of the public outcry drug tests should be conducted on every member of parliament."That way the voters will know if the nation's representatives are people who break its drugs laws," he said. The AN, which is in Berlusconi's centre-right opposition, campaigns for drug use to be completely outlawed.
Liberal pressure groups said the Iene had unveiled the hypocrisy behind Italy's stringent drugs laws, a position backed by Environment Minister Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, leader of the Green party.
"Absurd laws have been passed which punish kids for smoking a joint, and then we find that among the highest political offices people are taking too much cocaine," he said.
