Introducing Alpha DVD!

[Lexman]

Announcing a new Sponsor for htguide.com, Alpha DVD! In case you don't know who Alpha is, those of you that own Avia, flip the disc over and reference Alpha's name emblazoned on the back cover. I have got to find out exactly what they did in this disc making, and will.

But in the meantime, please welcome them. We have a bit of a surprise in store for you from our friends at AlphaDVD. So, stay tuned! Details on New Year's Day!

Thank you,

Lex

Thanks guys. Alpha is definitely not your run of the mill DVD store. That's for sure! We have the most visually stimulating discs from their collection in our DVD Lottos for January too! Be sure to register to win.

Thanks,

Lex

Thanks for the warm welcome messages. For those of you who are interested Alpha DVD did the "authoring" for the AVIA Guide to Home Theatre disc. "Authoring" is sort of a catch all term in the DVD business the covers everything from video compression through generation of the final DLT tape for mastering. To make a long story short, I produced the AVIA disc for Ovation Software, using test patterns designed and created by Ovation staff members (Guy Kuo and David Ranada).

Alpha DVD only works on DVD titles that we get royalties from, so if you visit our web site you wont find a "traditional" storefront where you can buy DVD movies. We mainly work on special interest or niche titles that appeal to consumers who are looking for more than just blockbuster movies on DVD.

Anyway I am happy to be supporting HTGuide.com, and look forward to reading, and contributing to this forum.

Thanks

Thanks Alpha DVD for supporting Lex and his great site. The AVIA DVD has been very useful in my pursuit in this hobby. Thanks again.

Ralph, thanks for not only the kind words, but also the explanation of Alpha's authoring involvement in these discs. I thought that was right, but I didn't want to speculate.

Thanks for joining us as well! I think it would be great to have you participate at the forum, and offer the "Authorer's" perspective and expert opinion on DVDs.

Thanks,

Lex (Doug)
