As far as I know DVDA cannot do multiple camera angles and I'd thought that was a far from must have feature, come to think of it outside of sports stuff I'd seen no use for it at all.
Well last night we went to the opening of one of my clients work in a gallery, several large video projections and a few 21" studio monitors all running looping DVDs created with Vegas and DVDA, not bad for somethin that was originally cut in FCP.
Anyone I'd thought the content was just a bit well, way out there, until I saw all of it together in a gallery and then it all made some sense. So, what I was thinking I could make for this client is a showreel but a but like a virtual gallery. Now that we've got 3D planar surface stuff I could recreate the various 'views' of the screens in the gallery, I could even have a 5.1 track to give it a real live feel.
But what would be the icing on the cake is being able, albiet crudely, to move through the gallery by changing camera angles on the DVD player.
I know my idea is a bit unusual but maybe it'll give someone else some ideas too, certainly I think it shows how something can be used in ways that they were never intended for.
I do realise there's serious issues with doing multi camera angle stuff, four camera angles = 4 mpeg streams muxed = bitrate problems. However I'm getting a player that'll happily handle 19 MBits / sec, still not much use to the client for a showreel, should be a nice unit for corporate presentations on big screens, it will also upscale to HiDef.
