I've got two different bicycles and an old lawnmower, can I make a car? Yes. Would it be worth your time? No, unless you think you'll learn something from tinkering around. The result wouldn't justify the effort if you planned to actually use it.

I heard that Teddybear Crisis is doing a whole movie on Jon Olsson for next year.

Yeah. Right. www.allyvideo.com They don't have UMD burners for the exact reason that Sony doesn't want anyone, even us developers, to be able to make UMDs that aren't mass produced titles. If you have footage of yourself that you want on your PSP you can encode it and copy it to the PSP with...

TBC is coming for PSP. We've gone through all the final checks and Sony is now manufacturing the UMDs. We're not sure the exact date for delivery, but it should be right before Christmas. Check out www.allyvideo.com and scroll down a bit for confirmation. Ally is the distributor, so only shops...

We should have it done and in stores right before Christmas. I'll post a thread when we start shipping to stores.

The iTunes copy limitation has absolutely nothing to do with "ripping" DVDs. A DVD with CSS copy protection on it cannot be ripped legally because in doing so you are circumventing the CSS copy protection which is illegal under the DMCA, end of story. Sheesh. This is getting tiresome. Everybody...

I don't know if it's still the same guy running the marketing dept at Alpine, but I got my pass permanently pulled for standing around watching someone scope a line that wouldn't be allowed without permission. We were just checking it out to see if it would be doable, then if it was we'd have to...

I know most people don't own PSPs, but we're doing this for the people who do own them obviously. Something in the millions right now. How sick would it be to be able to watch Teddybear Crisis at full quality on the ride up to the mountain or when you're sitting around far from home? The other...

Yes. It is illegal. Anytime you use any software that circumvents the copy protection it is illegal. Once again, it's the result of the DMCA and it doesn't matter if you bought it or not, or if you're just going to copy it and never even watch it or sell it, as soon as you rip the DVD you've...

Oh, we're doin it. It's a done deal. We're in the production phase right now and should have emulation real soon, then it's just a couple weeks to the shelves once we make sure there aren't any bugs.

Teddybear Crisis will be out on UMD for the Sony PSP, it's the movie not a game, but you could hit the buttons and make noises like you're playing a game while watching the movie!

Never said I agreed with it. But it is the current law of the land. I work for a studio, though not "Hollywood" and I personally don't think the DMCA is doing us any favors, OTOH all the copies that are being made out there are impacting sales. Could we strike a balance between real legitimate...

"Rippin" a DVD IS illegal if the disc has CSS which almost all commercial releases have. Period. You are circumventing the digital copy protection which is illegal under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act whether you bought it or even if you created the disc yourself and put digital copy...

Well, you heard it here first. It will be up on the AllyVideo.com site in a few days, then it will start to show up on other sites and it should ship some time in December. There will also be a UMD of The Community Project too if you're into snowboarding.

Unfortunately it is totally illegal. DCMA and the feds say so.
