I recently acquired a DVD burner drive, and was thinking of ways to put it to use. After a bit of thought, I stumbled across this.
Imagine a TSC collaboration to produce DVDs containing the best runs that have been put on the site over the years. If you played a role somehow (whether it's layout, artwork, or just being the one who played some of the runs that got chosen) you could even walk away with some money from it! How cool is that?
The plan is to have a menu divided into submenus for each game represented, and from there you'll be able to browse the videos that have been chosen for that game. I'll try to get as many runs as will fit on the DVD. Highly-regarded runs such as those from the Top 10 would make the cut, but 1) videos without sound shouldn't be eligible (disqualifying my old 2D videos, including CN2 which made #2 on the list) and 2) I'd prefer if only direct recordings of the screen where included (which would sadly rule out F-Man's videos in their current form, which were done with a camera aimed at a TV).
The drive I have is LightScribe-compatible, so with the appropriate discs I can just burn in a label. However, I don't do much graphical work so I'd have no idea what to make for the label layout. If you're interested in seeing this go through and have ideas for that, bring them up.
Because DVDs aren't free to make and come by, we'll end up charging some undetermined amount. The money will be divided up among those who had a part in putting it together: I'd take some for putting together and shipping the discs, whoever designs the logo will get some, anyone who can think of something else to go into these might get a cut for their contribution, and the players of the chosen videos will get the rest (probably based on the amount of runs of theirs that get chosen, though I haven't decided whether to count based on number of runs or total length thereof.)
What do you think of this idea? Do you have designs that could be used for the labels or menus? How much would you think is a reasonable price for the DVDs? If you have videos here, would you let them be included or not? Answer what you can; that's why I asked.
