Ok, I think I need to clarify just a bit here. We plan to do a BIG season one DVD in a few months which will include a TON of extra features (including behind-the-scenes, cast interviews, etc). That DVD set will be sold, probably on Amazon.com. That way we can make a little money and hopefully buy some additional cameras, lights, and set pieces. This project is completely different. The idea is to release this within the next month completely for free. We'll throw in some exclusive material found nowhere else which will be an incentive to download and burn for your friends, but this is not the full blown season1 -- ton of bonus material -- thing. I'm looking for some input on DVD authoring software, as well as which are your favorite segments. Right now I'm thinking these segments would be good to include: - ARP Cache Poising - OSX on x86 - Arcade Cabinet - RSS Alarm Clock - Buffer Overflows with Beer Maybe the Network VNC Install, VNC over SSH, or VPN Server on XP, Command Line XP SP2 Firewall, or Pandora Timeshifting. So segments do you guys think should be included?

Ok so here's the deal guys. We're thinking of doing a "Best of Hak.5" DVD soon. The idea is that we'll put some of the most popular Hak.5 segments on it, as well as the really good skits, extended blooper reels, directors’ commentary, and some additional bonus material on it. This DVD will be offered as an ISO via Bit Torrent on our site. The DVD will be released under a creative commons license complete with high-res cover art and DVD label for those who want to make it pretty. This way anyone can download the ISO, burn a few copies, and give it to their friends. This will help us expand our audience in a grass roots kind of way while also giving me some experience doing DVD authoring (which I'll need since we will be doing a season 1 DVD packed with bonus features in the future). Here's where you guys come in. I'm looking for feedback on the idea in general, DVD authoring software suggestions, and of course some input on which segments should make the cut. I appreciate everyone’s feedback on this project and will find a way to "//MAD PROP" everyone who contributes to this thread on the DVD. Thanks in advance, Darren Kitchen Producer / Co-Host, Hak.5

ok ok ya got me. i did say it on that craptacular radio show. im not sure if season1 ends at ep 10, 11, or 12 but technically ep10 is our 1 year aniversary since we started ep1 development 2 months before it was released. anyway, regardless of where the season1 line is drawn we'll be taking a month off to produce the dvd which will be loaded with extra features. we've got so much extra stuff its ridicilous. and yeah, it would be nice to make some money off this crazy hobby.

Yes, I can confirm that Alli and Evil Server are still dating. It's sad really, she doesn't seem to understand that he's out to get us. I have to be careful what I say though. I know he's watching my packets. As for ep8.5, the name was Iyla, not Ilya. Consider it an easter egg and not a bash on the kid. I hope he gets a kick out of it anyway.

me neither

I'm pretty sure we said both fireant and democracy were buggy. maybe an 'install at your own risk' notice was necessary?

Aware of the problem, working on a resolution. Long story short the host of our .tv domain was hosting the software that did the RSS feeds for BT. They went AWOL and we're trying to get everything back together.

I personally have enjoyed them all. When watching Pure Pwnage you just have to suspend disbelief and go with it. It's like watching a scifi. The whole crew does a bang up job and I'm really looking forward to getting my t-shirt in the mail. I sure hope it isn't a "value added" t-shirt. Guess I should break out the tide.

I don't know how many 300+ person LAN parties I've been to thinking "damn, what would happen if the feds were to bust up in here". Maybe we'll see a "BIG RED BUTTON" mod on Hak.5 in the future. ;)

It's all a matter of opinion. Trust me I get enough of em in email. I love how we used to get bashed for having beer on the show, then in the last two eps when we didnt we got flame mail for NOT having beer on the show. You can't please everyone. But I still stand by my word, Pure Pwnage is teh best show online.

so far my tests with libsyn have been great, normally 500-1000 KB/s

Yeah I was stoked when I first noticed we had hit wikipedia.

I third the vote on VLC. It's so sweet, it does everything. They should including an operating system in the next release.

1. Create popular IPTV show 2. ??? 3. Profit! If you don't get the joke you need to read more slashdot +5 funnies.

I'm sure the questions from episode 9 will be answered. Ep9 did a lot in ways of Dave's character development and the overall plot. This ep seemed more focused on Jeremy and Tagi, which is good because we we're left in the cold on that one since ep7 (I think that's the one where he's recovering from WoW overdose in the hospital). Pure Pwnage == Best show on teh interweb!!1 PS: Am I the only one that like, after watching pure pwnage, like, talks a little canadian, and like, wants go to pwn noobs? i mean, it's not like they're gonna pwn themselves ya know?

Well would you look at that. "In the climax of the movie one of the characters displays a sign saying "trust your techno lust"; this line has become the closing phrase to the hacker show Hak.5." lol. it's spreading.

Mostly true.

I did it once or twice on the old boards, then quickly gave up. Maybe we could all pitch in some money and buy spek a wired keyboard.

How do you misspell the word "spell" in the same sentence that you correctly spell "spell"?

I checked the ban list and I don't see you. I'll talk to TomB.

The sketches page has been updated to include "Borked Bits" aka GeekyBar, aka the TikiBarTV parody. If you don't get it you might need to first watch "Red Oktober", episode 9 of TikiBar TV ( http://www.tikibartv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=9 ) I also found this image while posting it. If there is interest I can post the full rez version. --Darren

guys, seriously, post count doesn't mean squat.
