4:4:4 12-bit Uncompressed DVX100

Juan P. Pertierra · August 18th, 2004, 01:35 PM

I read into it further, and it seems it was all started by a person called Pete Wright. In his listing, he used a lot of innacurate information, including random prices for my mod(thus the $8,500), and even incorrect resolution sizes.

If you have any questions whasoever, please post them here or feel free to email me directly as much as you want.

I can email Pete Wright but there's always going to be someone out there that posts incorrect information.

Cheers,
Juan

It was clear when I read those posting that this guy was a little off.

So . . .the moment of truth . . . how about that URL? :)

Chris Rubin · August 18th, 2004, 01:47 PM

thank you Juan for the answers.

Eric:

I'm not eager to embrace XL2 just yet. But I'm not gonna rule it out either. I definitely do not like the way the available screencaps look (esp. 16/9), but as this is just the beginning, I will not (yet) blame Canon.

Aaron: I use algolith for upsampling.

Flax: I have many reasons for going DV, not least of which is that it enables me to put a great deal more money in front of the camera, so to say. And I get to keep the gear as opposed to taking it back to the rentals. Before Juan's mod came along, I was planning for Cinealta, which is the usual fare around here.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Juan,

Thanks for answering.
My purpose is not to spread bad rumors...

David Mullen on this topic on page 2 is just saying that Pete Wright and you are the same person...

...

Btw, this is a good news to hear that the price will be lower than $8500.

:)

Flax.

Justin Burris · August 18th, 2004, 02:27 PM

Flax,

I read that whole thread, and at no time does David Mullen - or anyone else for that matter - say anything about Pete and Juan being the same person.

If it is not your intention to spread bad rumors, please take greater care before posting, or you may unintentionally spread them anyway.

Flax Johnson · August 18th, 2004, 04:18 PM

Hi Justin Burris,

You're right.
This topic started on dvxuser confused me :
http://www.dvxuser.com/cgi-bin/DVX2/YaBB.pl?board=Events;action=display;num=1092616258

I guess I was very surprised to see this guy knowing the price of Juan's mod before the website was done.

You know, I will be the first happy to see the Juan's mod available.

Be sure I will take greater care in the future.
Thanks for your trust.

This subject seems to make
people react with a lot of passion...

Chris, thanks for your answer. When did you plan to shoot ?

Here's something similar but upwards in the $60K price range.

For everyione trying to figure out the URL www.waylowerthen8500.com does not work.

Ernest Acosta · August 19th, 2004, 02:19 PM

Okay Juan, here is my guess it is XRS-1.com, xrsone.com or xrsjuan.com or xrsjuanmod.com (.net, .org. etc...). If I guess right, how about a discount on the mod.

People need to chill out a little. Why would Juan be ignoring you or this project? He is probably busy sorting some things out that are taking longer than expected. There are a lot of considerations, and if you haven't noticed by now from this thread, Juan tends to be ever so slightly over-optimistic with his timelines.

Juan P. Pertierra · August 19th, 2004, 07:48 PM

I'm working on all of this as fast as I can, and i want to make sure the site is working as best as possible before I make it public. I'm not a big fan of "under construction" sites. :)

It's very close, i'm working on some images to better illustrate the content.

Juan

Nick Hiltgen · August 19th, 2004, 07:58 PM

www.joelcorkinisrightandweshouldbackoffonjuan.com doesn't work either.
