I recently got some DVDs from a trade and it said the DVDs were authored by "Dark Vortex Productions". I was wondering if anyone out there knew who this is, and how I might be able to contact them. Thanks!

I just have some questions about how some of the DVDs were authored and a question about a series they authored.

They are digitized from VHS tapes that are collected from people all over the world.
Dark Vortex is extremely private though. Are you wanting to know about the hardware or the software?

Which series are you curious about?

Well, I actually found out about the software (it was included in a "readme" more or less on the disk), but I still have a question about a series they authored and a hardware question.

My hardware question is what do they use to capture VHS tapes. I am trying to capture some tapes myself but it always does some weird interlacing thing that's not normal interlacing.

I recently got Rasen (Spiral) in a trade, and two of the six disks have really nice menus set up by them, but the others are just bland DVD recorder menus. Did they author the other four DVDs? If not, why, and if they did, why did I get DVDs with DVD recorder menus? It's not a huge deal, but it's kind of gotten under my skin now and I'm curious, so if you could ask them, I would be appreciative.

Also, do they still author DVDs? I'm asking because the readme said to use a program that hasn't been supported for a while.

Finally, (and I know it's none of my business) but why are they so secretive? I can see why they don't really want to be known, but a small website would be nice that says what series they have authored. Just my opinion though.

Sorry for being such a bother, and if you could pass this on I would be extremely grateful, especially the second question. Thanks!

DarkVortex has been around a while, but I don't think they want to be in the distribution sector, or even the semblance of one. I can only surmise that they want to make a great set of dvds for their own private use. I can kind of understand not wanting to be known. I'm very private myself...

Probably because they dont want to get continuous emails from strangers.
