Until you’re familiar with burning CDs and DVDs, you should probably stick to using Nero Express (see Chapter 2), which guides you through the process of creating different types of discs. After you’re familiar with CD/DVD burning and want more control over creating different types of discs, then you should use Nero Burning ROM. NOTE If you switch the StartSmart window to Expert mode (where the cartoon characters wear glasses), you can use the StartSmart window to load Nero Burning ROM to perform most CD/DVD tasks, such as Copy CD or Burn Image To Disc. From The Book of Nero 7 No Starch Press, Copyright © 2006 by Wallace Wang Copying Discs Nero Burning ROM can copy entire CD or DVD discs in two ways: Saving a disc as an image file to burn on another disc later. Copying a disc in memory and then writing the data to a blank disc in the same drive (known as “copying on the fly”). This can be useful when you just need to make a quick copy of a single disc. NOTE Nero Burning ROM will not copy copy-protected discs. Copying Discs to an Image File If you copy a disc to an image file, you can make multiple copies of that disc later without need for the original disc.

    C E N T E R F O R D E M O C R A C Y & T E C H N O L O G Y Evaluating DRM: Building a Marketplace for the Convergent World September 2006 – Version 1.0 As digital rights management technologies are increasingly integrated into media products, devices, and platforms, it is important for the public to understand the tradeoffs and choices associated with different DRM systems. With sufficient information, competition between different DRM offerings can help promote a marketplace for digital media products that is diverse and responsive to reasonable consumer expectations. This paper seeks to contribute to the public discussion and understanding of DRM in the media marketplace by systematically reviewing the types of factors that product reviewers, consumer advocates, and members of the public may want to consider when evaluating products incorporating DRM. Introduction The explosive growth of the Internet and digital media has created both tremendous opportunities and new threats for content creators. Advances in digital technology offer new ways of marketing, disseminating, interacting with, and monetizing creative works, giving rise to expanding new markets that did not exist just a few years ago. These technologies also promise to democratize the production of creative content by putting the creation and wide distribution of creative works within the reach of private individuals. At the same time, however, the technologies have created major challenges for copyright holders seeking to exercise control over the distribution of their works and protect against piracy. 1 Digital rights management (DRM) represents a response to these issues.

    Videography Notes

    Name_________________________________________ Videography Student Note Packet KEY Videography What is videography? The art or practice of using a video camera Videography in Agriculture In a technological world, video communications are becoming a common practice. Video Cameras Video cameras are available in consumer and professional formats with special features found for each. MiniDV Camcorders – Both tapes and camcorders in this format are inexpensive. You can import the video from this format to a computer for editing. HDV Camcorders – These camcorders record high-definition video to the same MiniDV tapes listed above. AVCHD Camcorders – These camcorders are the newest available. They record high-definition video to a DVD or hard drive or some form of flash memory. Flash Memory Camcorders – Records video directly to a flash memory card, the same flash memory card often used by digital cameras. Hard-Drive Camcorders – Records video directly to the camera’s hard drive. Once the camera is plugged into the computer, it acts like an external hard drive and the video can be copied onto the computer for editing. DVD/MiniDVD Camcorders Records video directly to a DVD or miniDVD. Name_________________________________________ Hybrid Camcorders – These allow recording in multiple formats. For example, a camcorder might record on flash memory and a hard drive at the same time. Lighting Equipment Proper lighting is essential for good-quality video. Spotlights – Used to put direct light on an item, but they produce a harsh shadow. Softlights – Also known as, bounced lights, are used to create a diffused light over an area, minimizing shadows. Lighting Kit – Most field productions use a lighting kit, which includes portable versions of spotlights and floodlights as well as other equipment including: Reflectors – Uses a light or shiny reflective surface to reflect available light and create additional light sources.
  • Introduction to Confess the Gay Away? Media, Religion, and the Political Economy of Ex-Gay Therapy

    Introduction to Confess the Gay Away? Media, Religion, and the Political Economy of Ex-Gay Therapy

    Introduction to Confess the Gay Away? Media, Religion, and the Political Economy of Ex-gay Therapy by Michael Thorn A PORTION OF THE DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2015 ©Michael Thorn, 2015 1 Introduction: Confess Thy Self? In the media debate surrounding the Christian ex-gay movement, the phrase “pray the gay away” is often used as shorthand to describe the movement’s religiously mediated sexual orientation conversion efforts. However, when one digs deeper, not just into ex-gay practices, but into the debate itself, it becomes clear that ex-gay change—regardless of whether effective or not—is less about prayer than confession and testimony. Consider writer-director Jamie Babbit’s film But I’m a Cheerleader, a campy, comedic tale of a lesbian cheerleader forced into an ex-gay conversion camp (featuring drag queen Ru Paul in a rare not-in-drag performance). The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 1999, is the second fictional pop culture text to depict the movement1 and it is all about confession. It is an iconic depiction, an intervention in the debate that is frequently referenced and imitated. It is mentioned in a 2011 documentary called This is What Love in Action Looks Like about real-life teenager Zach Stark being forced into an ex-gay conversion program; it is imitated in both a 2007 episode of the popular Comedy Central animated satire South Park, in which the character Butters is forced into an ex-gay conversion program, and a 2013 episode of Saturday Night Live featuring Ben Affleck as an ex-gay counsellor.

    Review of Movie Bully

    Painfully Sad Stories of Bullying: Now What? A review of the film Bully (2011) Lee Hirsch (Director) Reviewed by Michael B. Greene The film Bully has received as much attention for its associated ratings “war” as it has about its content or message. When it was first reviewed, the Motion Picture Association of America gave the film an R rating because of language, that is, repeated use of a specific four-letter word. After much fanfare and outcries from a wide spectrum of celebrities, the appeal by the movie’s distributer to downgrade the rating was denied. In response, the Weinstein Company released the film without a rating. Subsequently, Harvey Weinstein decided to edit out some of the offending language in order to secure a PG-13 rating, a move he made to enable a larger audience to see the film. I reviewed the PG-13 version. Bully is a documentary that portrays the lives of five young people who were chronically bullied. Two of the young people committed suicide, Tyler at age 17 and Ty at age 11. Tyler’s story is conveyed through home movies and interviews with his parents, and Ty’s story is conveyed through an interview with his former best friend and his parents. Kelby is a 16-year-old open lesbian from Tuttle, Oklahoma. Kelby is spunky and charming, characteristics that belie her prior three suicide attempts and her self-cutting. Alex, a 14-year-old from Sioux City, Iowa, is repeatedly called “fish-face” and is frequently pummeled by fellow students. Alex has gotten to the point where he doesn’t think he feels anymore.
