Ok, here is a .wmv version of it. It's not quite as good as the .mp4 version, but hey it's better than nothing right?!

I was wondering the exact same about the rings of light, didnt see them in the trailer. Gotta admit, it looks awesome and is gonna be well worth the wait. Congratulations to the entire team.

Just watched it a few moments ago. I'm just amazed! I can tell the skin is working in "real-time" and I cannot believe how......it's so.......ok, breathe.......breathe! lol. in all seriousness, I can see how much a few months a difference can make in a project - especially one as such. I'm so proud of the team's effort!

BB, would be possible to put up a screen-comparison of the "Golden-Ticket" version and a "6-6-6" version? I know we've discussed the skin being approx. 80% completed and the interface not being as polished, but I would want to know if there would be a "visible" difference on screen? Or perhaps you could include "screenshots" in the April 7th build you stated you wanted to create for users to compare. Just curious. Or maybe for those interested in details, in your "diary" idea, as to what was added or modified throughout the journey to building this skin.

Btw, the skin is so fluid!

Going to watch it again. Right now. lol.

It's NTSC 4:3 you can tell when they change the theme. (About half way through the video).

Note the black border around the video itself. A very badly put together video clip. I can say this, because I do video production for a living!

Spaceman2004,

although the video may have flaws for those who specialize in the domain, one can hardly ignore the fact that it is just exciting to know that a "skin" - not an app, or a utility for the xbox, but a skin - has not one, but 2 trailers prior to its release! I honestly don't know of any other skin that has had this as an "advance" method.

Sure, there are other great XBMC skins out there, but to see video production used to promote this very beautiful "re-creation" can be quite overwhelming and gratifying, especially for its creators.

mbay: I'm not knocking the skin, I'm just knocking the trailer, without a doubt it could have been a lot better. It just seems a shame to me that all the hardwork put into the skin, and then not have a polished trailer. Little things like losing the aspect ratio doesn't do it well. You don't have to be a pro to put out better than that. Messing around in windows movie maker allows for better!

Spykon: Actioncorp are in the US. Don't worry though, PAL users will just have just as much fun using it in PAL mode.

And so the flames begin when someone has an opinion that doesnt match your own.

If people wanna act like insensitive assholes, let them, but as soon as they start the insults they will be dealt with.

mbay · « **Reply #42 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:21:00 AM »

Spaceman2004,

I didn't think you were knocking the skin. It was just my personal opinion that although there may be "different" options to carry out a video-trailer for the skin, that it is "great" to have a trailer for a skin all the same. No animosity intended. I suppose there always will be something one can do to ameliorate.

Spaceman2004 · « **Reply #43 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:30:00 AM »

I agree it is nice to have the trailer. I'm looking forward to trying out the skin as much as the next man!

Let's all just hope the normal place is up and running again by tomorrow.

I just hope there is going to be a torrent link as well to grab it from the start!

mbay · « **Reply #44 on:** June 05, 2006, 03:36:00 AM »

Well,

as BB has mentionned previously - the skin will be available from his site, and even if it takes a while for t3ch to compile the build, at least we know the skin is 2.0 compatible in terms of engine, so we can always add it temporarily to the current build's skin folder.

As for the usual place, well......there's always the french. Oui?
