Alpha Rho Chi: An Exploration has left the building and is on its way to New Orleans by way of Los Angeles. A full 5 minute video in 720x480 output to help adapt for new technology, Alpha Rho Chi: An Exploration is in VCD format.

It has been recognized that there are some questions regarding having a real copy of a Cow & Toad Video. I hope to answer a few questions regarding these issues here.


      Q: How do I tell if I have a Cow & Toad Video?
      A: The easiest way is to look at the CD you have. It should be labled Cow & Toad Video Production somewhere on the lable. There have been some cases where a disk has not been issued but permission granted to the holder of the video. If you are unsure if you have permission, mail us and we can personally verify if your copy is legitimate.
      Q: Can I get more than one copy?
      A: If you ask, it shall burn [a CD that is].
      Q: I'm using a regular CD-ROM drive, where are the files so I can read them on the VCD?
      A: If you look in the MPGAV folder, there will be at least 3 .DAT files. Find the largest of these files and copy them to your harddrive.(Most should be the same 'size', there is usually one file very small, it can be generally ignored) Then right click the file and rename the files to change the .DAT extention to .MPG. This should solve your problem.


I hope this clears up some questions. More will be added should the need arrise.

200207.31 After some initial sketching, the production of Candle Journey for Alpha Rho Chi has begun rendering. Candle Journey currently is enlisting 45% of our resources as it begins production. Initial estimates will allow Candle Journey to take on nearly 90% never before seen material.
Sketches and feasiblity meetings are underway to perhaps set up our first Anthem Video based on Harry Potter and the Sorcorer's Stone. Again, this would be VERY unofficial. Other possiblities current include the movie Shrek. Introducing Cow & Toad as a Anime Music Video (AMV) house is also discussed in the interest of creating something to go along with Cardcaptors (also known as Cardcaptor Sakura).
200205.13 Initial renderings for "Candle Journey" have been released to the general public.
