they're STILL discussing that one on the Lynch forums, trying to
figure out the timeline for that movie, how much was real, what was
dreamed, etc
the best thing about that movie to me, wasnt the movie, it was Lynch
being interviewed by Leno on the Tonight show, and Lynchs response to
Lenos "OK, what is this movie about" question. Lynch gave his usual
sort of surreal "a movie doesnt have to be about anything" blah blah
art for arts sake thing, and Leno wasnt having any of it. Pretty
funny. He never did get Lynch to give a concrete answer on.... well,
anything. Not that I expected him too.

Dark City is the same thing.
Is that much like life.

Did anyone ever figure out Twin Peaks and what was really going on?
Who was the midget?

season one ends with Agent Cooper getting shot.
Season two (or three cant remember), the shooter is revealed to be
Josie, the hot oriental chick, who was involved in some kind of scam
with a controlling mysterious Oriental figure, and Cooper was getting
too close to the truth so Josie tried to off him. Josie dies in some
mysterious way. At the end of Season Two, Laura Palmer's murderer is
revealed to be her father, controlled by a demonic possessor, a demon
known only as Bob, who apparently originates from something called The
Black Room or some crazy crap.
Season Three involves all sorts of weird and not well developed side
plots, but centers around the re-appearance of Coopers old serial
murderer nemesis, some guy named Wyndam Earl or something, who may or
may not be mixed up with Bob. Now that Lauras murderer was revealed, I
guess they hadda come up with something else. Lynch was way gone from
it by then.
| Quote: | Who was the midget?

They discussed that at length too, at the Lynch forum. the midget was
either a dream manifestation or possibly a being from the White Room
or the Black Room (a parallel to the Red Room in the dream) which as
the plot(?) developed(?) was revealed to be some sort of bad other
dimension or something. I never saw the final two episodes broadcast,
where this was explained (?)
i guess the fact is, like so many things in his movies, who the hell
knows. probly not even him. |

They might be available on rental DVD.
The reason I am interested in Twin Peaks is I might rent the series
but I wanted an opinion first. It soulds like this is as goofy as
Farscape so I will definitely like it.

I don tknow what Farscape is, but, Twin Peaks was weird as hell, but
to me, really interesting, and at times, funny in a very dark way,
like black humor. The cast of characters is excellent. Even David
Duchovney of X Files, long before he got famous for that, shows up, as
a transvestite secret agent, in drag! |

You may need to have your eyes/equipment checked out, Bob! =)
As a test, I compressed "Changing Lanes" (Ben Aflack/Affleck flick) to
include all extras, etc. Compression came in ~60%. I sure could see
the difference!
For me, around 75% or higher on Shrink and I'm happy.

MPEG4 to DVD question |
|
|
Is there any way to maintain an Mpeg4 quality when mastering to DVD?
Additionally, if you can [without re-encoding to Mpeg2] are there any
consumer players that can play mpeg4 encoded DVD's?
I tried Nero 6 and the disc was unrecognized in my Yamaha, Sony, Toshiba &
LG DVD-Players on all DVD format [haven't attempted dual layer, but I
assume -R would be the same result on -R DL. |

There are a number of DVD players that play "raw" media |
files, both cheap ones you can get at such as WallMart for
<$60 and more expensive ones such as the "Link Theater"
"High-Definition Wireless Media Player with Progressive
Scan DVD" www.buffalotech.com (~$300)

By MPEG4 I asume you are meaning DivX or XVid? There are players that |
will play them. MPEG4 is more compressed than MPEG2 DVD so when
converting to DVD the file sizes will be bigger. You could experiment
with the data rate - the higher the data rate, the higher the quality.
Using Nero Ultra I have never had a problem with players not
recognising the disc. How did you go about it?
Also, what disc were you using? DL discs are more problematic. |

Nero is down converting to MPEG2, from the HQ MPEG4 'High-Def' recording. I
know MPeg4 is a higher compression, but its also an improved quality over
Mpeg2 and used for HiDef [e.g. HD-DVD] from what I've seen so far.
