![]() I then became the liaison between the two companies. We'd get discounts on their services as well as advertise being able to do those services to our existing client base, and they would get use of our video equipment which expanded their input capabilities. This company eventually moved into a small bit of workspace within our company's space as co-op agreement. There was another small company that specialized in interactive CDs using the old Macromedia Director software that we would contract jobs out to. Clients eventually started wanting these new fangled Video-CDs which required computers (gasp!). 1" tape machines, reel-to-reel Nagra tape decks, and all of the other analog/digital cassette tape decks were within arms reach in the machine room that was my workspace. This was the time when dinosaurs roamed the earth. I was the youngest person there that was too eager to do things that nobody else wanted to do. I was working in the editing department of a film post production facility. Haven't found a company since that compares.Ĥ) I got into it by luck really. By the time I left, the company had garnered a few awards, had grown to 10 full time employees with multiple DVD authors, and an award winning graphics team, and was quite an interesting place. But for day-to-day stuff, the UI was what I used.Ģ) I used lots of stuff that was ancillary, but nothing proprietary or open source other than awk/sed/grep and shell scripts written using those on the aforementioned text files.ģ) I started programming DVDs in 1999, and continued working shiny round discs until 2006. It wasn't until I got much more advanced before I went back to manipulating the text file versions as well myself. Apparently, the previous version was being run on some form of *nix, and required a lot of text file manipulation. Things improved dramatically with the release of Windows 2000. It wasn't until a bit later before I learned that it was the first version to run on Windows. When I started, the software was running on Windows NT. Wow, those are questions that make you seem very interested, which makes me want to answer.ġ) The company I started working for already had the software that was the de facto industry standard for DVD authoring, Scenarist. ![]()
