Recreating these will not be easy as I will have to go back through the recordings of all the Promo's in the past. Also since the computer I use is nearing it's end it takes longer just to create 1 of anything. The format for these will be avi (divx 5 compression) and mpg (video CD format) at 352 by 240 in pixel resolution. A few choice Promo's will be created also in 512 by 352 pixel resolution.

In recent weeks my home computer (the computer in which I create the video clips) has been experiencing problems. I have tried everything I know to do to clean and speed it up but I fear that the processor may be failing or something else has happened. (I got the computer as a High School graduation present in 1999. For those of you who are reading this now and trying to figure out my age and come up with 22 you are wrong. :) Failed twice!) My monitor has been slowly cutting out over the past year but it is also getting worse. I figured I would at least get a few more years out of it if I used it wisely. (I don't use the computer that much!) I tested the video capture device and it stalls the computer 10 to 15 seconds when I attempt to capture anything. (Even the mouse doesn't move! Meaning I click to capture and it waits 10 seconds then starts capturing.) It would appear that my video capture days are almost over. While at this very moment I am able to capture video clips, each time it seems as though the system is getting worse. I am a certified computer repair technician, so I do know a few things about how to fix up a system, but that one is on it's last thread. 

Once that system dies out, and if the video capture card still works, I unfortunately will not be able to use the capture card on any system with a Windows OS version that's greater than 98. (My type of capture card is only for 95 and 98, I have been unable to find any drivers to use under 98se, or 2k. Apparently immediately after I bought the capture card the Company who made it went out of business or something. "AIMS Labs" Lots of other people who purchased the same capture card needed technical support and were experiencing problems with it and I apparently was the only one out of the few who could get the capture card working. So I helped those people out on a message board get theirs working years ago.) I bought the capture card for over 100 bucks and it has worked well. You could say "It has paid for itself!"

So after it has captured it's last video clip. I will not purchase a new capture card. They are way to expensive, and since I do not capture as often as I use to, it wouldn't be worth buying a new one for capturing just 4 or 5 clips every other month.

Things started off ok for this scaper, they requested a few clips which I gladly created (I don't mind making a few clips for any person but when enough is enough "you know!"). Then they kept requesting more and more. I had asked them to slow down the requesting and allow me time to do things that where necessary to be done. This person didn't care! 

I soon asked for ideas to tone down the massive requesting and someone suggested that I limit only 2 requests per month per person. This didn't seem to stop this person as they wanted more and more clips. I figured this person was wanting me to put entire episodes on the internet which I refuse to do. Friends of mine think that this person might have a site on the net somewhere and could possibly be so obsessed with the Farscape clips that I create, to of created a site of their own to put these clips on with no credit to the one who created them.

Note To All who Know me and all of you out there who visit our site: I would not be doing this which your about to view if not for the last email from this very impatient person. I am rather busy these days doing other stuff and this person apparently doesn't care. I think that I have done enough for this person and since I don't care about my reputation on the internet anymore I proudly bring to you, "How to tell when a Scaper starts to piss you off." (This is the entire email event which lead up to this request finale) I hope you enjoy! :) And if this person is upset with me doing this I really don't care!

Chorn seeing that this was happening added a script to the multimedia section making it so anyone who directly linked to the clip would receive a 403 Forbidden error message which in turn would keep them from going to the clip. This script caused a problem for IE (Internet Explorer) users but not for Netscape or Opera Users. Instead of allowing anyone who was on our site to view or download the clips in IE, it was keeping them from doing so. It would display the 403 Forbidden error, not allowing access to the clips at all. I received many emails about the Forbidden error from various fans who where concerned. I immediately informed Chorn that his Forbidden access script wasn't working properly. He took action testing his script, as you may or may not know he nore I use IE for browsing our site. So there's no telling what does or doesn't work, heh.

After Chorn tested various ways of fixing the problem (changing partial links into full URL links) he still cannot get it working correctly. His script should be working but it's not. He has temporarily removed the Forbidden Access stuff. I assume he is trying to think of other ways of blocking direct links while allow IE users to download or view the clips on the site. So right now (possibly not at the moment any of you read this) the clips should be downloadable/viewed fine.
