Everything, Everything DVD - DVD-ROM Component
The 'Everything, Everything' DVD includes a DVD-ROM component with an application you can install on your computer to access additional content. I installed this application years ago when I first bought the DVD, and started it up again today after not having looked at it in years.
There are a few different sections in the application: wongizer - a keyboard-driven vision mixer headset - an animation combining visuals, speech recordings and underworld music links live - web cam - audio stream - video stream - 365 sofas - web book Some of the content wouldn't load for me today. The links section wouldn't load, nor any of the "live" sections. The application accesses the internet for the content, and I guess whoever set up the application and additional content didn't plan for people to still be accessing it ten years down the line. I used a network traffic analysis program to see what internet resources the application was trying to access, and this is what it found: http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles/linksdata.txt http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles/live/dvdData.txt http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles/data/cam/cam28.mov http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles.../audio1000.mov http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles.../video1000.mov http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles/data/sofas/.gif http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles...as_sounds/.mov http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles...images/001.jpg http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles...images/002.jpg http://www.underworldlive.com/ufiles...images/003.jpg None of these URLs are still live and the Internet Archive won't show them either because of underworldlive.com's robots.txt protocol. Can anyone tell me what all this stuff was when it worked? What links were displayed? What were the webcam and audio and video streams of? What were "365 sofas" and the "web book"? Thanks for your help. |

365 Sofas was just what it sounds like. 365 single photos of different sofas. The Web Book was along the lines of Karl's diary (IIRC) -- words and images and such. I believe they were PDFs?

That statute of limitations is 7 years.
Now I'm gonna have to break out my DVD and look, I had forgotten about all that. I've just bought new car radio with the big 7" screen that's a DVD receiver. I know it's illegal but I'm gonna have to let that DVD play all the time while I'm driving.

Re: Everything, Everything DVD - DVD-ROM Component
I found some info on this online.
On http://www.chartattack.com/news/2000...-dvd-boundary/ it says: Quote:
and a useful review of the DVD published in December 2000 (albeit by a non-fan) here: http://www.michaeldvd.com.au/Reviews...Everything.asp The links worked for him (though there doesn't seem to have been anything too interesting there), but his experience of the "live" section seems pretty similar to mine. So from what I can gather, it doesn't really seem like I missed anything! |
