I used white, works great, i haven't tried frosted....sure it would work, & dollar type stores best place........I'm sure they're cheap at Walmart also.

Cool...yes I'm off to check out the dollar store first then Walmart etc...I saw it reported here that frosted tends to hot spot so I guess I will go w\ white.

Downloaded 3 of these from hallowindow. I have them set up in iTunes and will send them to the projector from there (have it set to repeat). Thanks for all the hard work and making it available for us to download (I am a procrastinator so I did not order the DVD in time).

I had some extra time this year (amazing how much better Halloween goes when you start in July!) so I bought the download of Hallowindow III. I pulled off the .vob files for Hallowindow I and II from my DVD and then wrote out a new disc with all three. My DVD player has a repeat function and they all sequence great. It's nice to have three different animation sequences with a running time of almost eight minutes before it repeats.

Hallowindow III looks great too. Thank again for the great work Mark!

I was able to use a friends DVD player that has the repeat and it works great. All three animations run with no issues and loop at the end.

That's great, Rick. What software did you use to make the DVD? I want to do this but am technology challenged.

Has anyone else had issues with Hallowindow III when trying to rip it to a different DVD? I'm trying to put all three Hallowindows on the same DVD, and last year I didn't have any issue with I & II, but this year when trying to rip III to a separate DVD, the sound is off when I try to do it. The sound is delayed by about 2 seconds from the video. I'm using Adobe Primiere Elements 7, and I'm not having any issues with I or II as I have ripped them both again, but for some reason III is messing with me. Argh!

Just unlink the audio and video and adjust the timmimg.

I'm very new to this program, but it doesn't look like the audio is recognized separately from the video. I'm not seeing a way to edit the audio separately. An audio track can be added in addition to the audio in the video, which doesn't help me much. I'm stuck. I also tried it in Windows Movie Maker but can't get it to even recognize the video. This certainly isn't my forte.

Edit: Hey Scourge, nice to see another Western Washington haunter. Let's hope for no rain on Saturday!

A little tip from Norway!
I found a realy good and creepy screansaver (free) and display it on my hallowindow looks good and runs the hole night long!
I tried white mosquito net as a cover for the hallowindow an it works realy good!
Happy Halloween From Eivind in Norway!
