I made it myself. No, really, I did.
Most people use the standard "flying robot" version shown in theaters, but I didn't like the flying robot sound and so after the explosion I edited sounds from various Disneyland attractions into it. I never re-shot the video on that one, but I changed it slightly so that instead of going completely dark the firefly lights remained "broken" until Gomer got us back up and running again. (Kudos to those who know who Gomer is.) And I bet that's not what you expected to learn, was it? |

Not to shine light on the industry's dirty little secret, but I haven't been able to do that with Vista or Windows 7 (via Audacity), just with XP. I'm not talking about downloading FLV files via Firefox's add-ons, but the audio itself. I'm pretty sure I took the raw THX audio from PonyGod's video (thanks for that PonyGod, btw) because it was easier than getting it from one of my own movies.

yeah...I cant get Audacity to record worth a dam from my Vista Laptop either. Even using the microphone. I use my XP machine for all that work.

I downloaded several THX mp3 samples from this website:
Look near the bottom of the page and you will see all the different THX files.

Good mics and a good THX stereo... If you notice, My Into's been pulled form YouTube though... Most everything's been pulled actually. |

I did a little research and I found out how you can beat that (YouTube pulling videos down).
If your video Falls under the Fair Copyright Use Act, then you are ok. All you need to prove 4 points:
I wrote: "This video is for educational purposes purposes only and features a
not-for-profit light show performance. The nature of the copyrighted work that
falls under the fair use copyright act is the musical score; all other work
shown is my original work. The effect of the use upon the potential market for
(or value of) the copyrighted work is such that the original artist benefits
from this video as more potential customers that are viewing this video (for
training purposes to create their own light shows) are exposed to the audio used
and full credit is given to the artist in both the actual performance as well as
in the video information box to inform potential customers of the audio used. As
such, the four criteria regarding fair trade usage have been met and this video
and/or it's soundtrack has therefore been removed in error."
If you do file a counter-notification claim, I'd suggest following my template but suit it towards your needs. I also have tutorials on how to do what we do posted as well, so my case is bolstered a bit. But the three videos I did not write that statement for were disabled (I only wrote, "This video is for entertainment / non profit purposes only; and since I own the original media it therefore falls under the fair use copyright act.", and right now in fact YouTube is processing my snail mailed DCMA counter notification on those videos, which is basically challenging their decision to remove the videos after the counter notification was denied. Basically, the bottom line is that copyright holders are trying to intimidate and scare you into doing nothing, which is sad. WMG even removed multimedia from TSO's own website, and TSO owns the copyright! But the law is clearly on our side, and with a little bit of research you can win this fight. |

Yea.... They REALLY don't like that THX audio clip up there... There's no options to fight back

Actually, there is a way to fight back, and you posted the link. For the videos I had removed that I didn't win on my counter notification, I sent them a written letter via snail mail. If you look at the reply I got back, you'll see that you can fight back. YouTube wants you to fight back, they even tell you how to do it and what site to go to to generate the proper documents.
Thank you for your counter-notification. It has been forwarded to the |
