Hahjahhajjhajja. :)

BY THE WAY: The Pokemon figures are currently being enjoyed by my twins (4 years old). Now, my oldest (6th grader) still loves Pokemon, but she was happy to gift the figures to her younger siblings.

I had no idea that my kids would like Polemon. Ha!

Hah, that is better, but is that not available in at least 720x480 off a DVD rip ? I could give you a rip if you want. It would be great if a full shot of the DoxPhile forum was more readable and for that we need higher resolution. I dunno if "They Live" ever came out in BluRay, if so, then one could get a 1920x1080 video to work with. But anyway, I have the DVD so it'd be no trouble to get a good mpeg2 720x480 rip of the scene if you want. What are you using to convert it to ani-GIF BTW ?

I have the Blu-ray and am able to rip it, but generally GIFs play better in a smaller resolution. Nobody would share or even be able to load a 50 MB 1920x1080 GIF file on a website. I have a subscription to Adobe CC - but many older versions of Photoshop can make GIFs with relative ease.

Post by: NightWolve on August 18, 2015, 12:10:38 PM: Oh, you were wanting to keep it in the 1 MB range, I see. Don't think it'd get THAT big, up to 50 MB, I mean, I wonder if 720x480 would be enough for a more clear view of the forum, but anyway, yeah, it was a great use of this scene!!
