FAQ

Is Random Randumb affiliated with MTV? No, we are not.

Why is the second "Random" spelled "Randumb"? It was Brian's idea. We liked it.

How did you do the ________ segment? No comment. We won't tell (nothing personal); liability sucks. Do not do anything you see in the videos, and read the disclaimer.

Is Brian a girl? No, but he needs a haircut.

What type of compression used on the videos? First, if you didn't know, they're in QuickTime format. Episode 8 and earlier used Sorenson 2 compression, at 8fps. Episode 9 and up use h.263 compression, at 8fps. The switch was made for Linux users out there, and for people quality during high action segments. With keyframes, Sorenson tended to pixelate too much. Audio compression (all epsiodes/clips): IMA 4:1, 16 bit mono @ 11.025khz.

What's with the Burger King fetish? Five of the crew are employed there. A lot of times they're working at the same time, so it's convenient for us to meet up there. Plus, their pies kick ass.

What is the site made on? One hundred percent Mac made. If you haven't used a G3+ Mac, you don't know what you are missing. We use a PowerMac G4 450, with 2 hard drives for all the editing. It's also the main computer for the website work; occasionally, a Titanium PowerBook is used for code work.

Can I put some of the videos on my site? If you'd like to link to the page with the video, that's perfectly alright. We encourage linking to us. If you'd like to just link to the video file, embed our video, or save it and upload it to your own site, no. No. Period. Please don't just embed the video off of us. We put a lot of work into them. Originality is golden.

If I sign up for the mailing list, how many emails do I get? We can't give yo a spefic number, but it's not an annoying amount. Say once a month, just for number's sake.
