I was reading Bungie's latest update, Bungie.net : Inside Bungie : News, and near the end they mentioned that Bungie Pro subscribers will be receiving the ability to upload clips and have them converted to WMV format. Excerpt from Bungie Weekly Update 10/03/08 " buTube (<-- not really called this) Chris can't spill the beans, but that doesn't mean other people can't as well! Roger Wolfson, Online Team extraordinaire and certified mathemagician has another really awesome feature that that film clip fans have been requesting for some time. From the Wolf's mouth: Hello again, Roger here with an update on the Bungie Pro subscription service we inaugurated a year ago. To recap, Bungie Pro allows subscribers expand their Halo 3 File Share from 6 slots and 25MB of storage to 24 slots and 250MB of storage, to the tune of 750 Spacebucks for the year, which is around 78 cents per month. Halo 3 file sharing has been tremendously popular, with over 53 million pieces of content shared online in the first year alone! That year is up for the first subscribers, which makes this a great time to announce a soon-to-arrive feature that we're going to add to Bungie Pro. And that new feature is? Render-to-video! At long last, you won't need to have a video capture card to free your saved film from the confines of your Xbox. Integrated right into the Bungie.net file-sharing experience alongside current features like "Copy to My File Share" and "Download to Halo 3" will be "Render to Video" where your short Saved Films or Film Clips (length and quantity to be determined) can come to life as a computer-playable WMV file which can be downloaded to your computer, or seen on Bungie.net alongside other game content like your Screenshots. We're still finalizing quite a few implementation details and trying to determine at what temperature a server melts into a pool of slag that will drip through the datacenter floor. So stay tuned over the next few weeks as we get those last details sorted out. In the mean time, enjoy the Title Update, and keep that great content on your file shares." I am curious if anyone is at all exited about this. I for one am. this will open up the option for many more Machinema's and Montages. I am already a subscriber to Bungie Pro, would you subscribe for this feature? Please post your thoughts here. I just wanna know what the community thinks. Thanks
finally if you want to make machinima you dont have to buy any expensive equipment. no capture cards or plugging in camcorders. they have made this so much easier. yess!!
