From blender.org: "After tests with English subtitles - which didn't work at all - we decided to produce [the Venom's Lab DVD] with 2 audio tracks, Spanish and English.". That is a most excellent decision guys! It will make the DVD much, much, much more useful for everybody. PLUS we get to hear Venom's cool English/Spanish accent as a bonus :)
(PS: if you haven't seen it yet, check out the cool Venom's Lab trailer)

yay! a bilingual Training DVD!
I'm more than happy with this!
Sorry for all the discussions before, but only after some lot of testings you get to know the real thing, and we figured out that making subtitles and having to shorten every sentence I said in Spanish, to English (in that small amount of time that you have for reading the subs), was a lot of time..
Also for subtitles to work you have to make videos longer, explain beforehand what you're going to do, and then do it, so people can get to read, and prepare to watch what I'm actually doing in Blender, instead of reading the subs.
Is a mistake that as first-timers it had to happen for us to realize it.
So! if you didn't mind my english on Yo Frankie!'s tutorials, now I'll do it with a little bit better english (still Spain accent though :), better explained, and way better sound! and of course, time :) (during Yo Frankie! i was busy with a lot of other things for the game besides making tutorials).
Thanks Blendernation, and thanks to everybody who already supported the Blender Foundation by getting the DVD, will come very handy to future Blender Projects! (like Durian even :)
This is awesome news!!! If I wanted to read I would have bought a book! ;)
Great!! I was going to pass on this because of the language, but now I'm in. Thanks for the work on this. We really appreciate it.
Great news! it will be much easier now.
Awesome! I just pre-ordered my copy, can't wait!
Yipeeeeee!!!!!
Yes, now im buying it too! Im glad you came to this decision.
That is fantastic! I'm going to buy this now. Thank you very much :)
Thank YOU SOOOOO MUCH !!!
Now we are talkin'! Literally! Great to hear!!! I'm ready to buy!
Just bought it!
can't wait to get it!
this is gona be a long month hehe.
I bought it before hearing about the eng audio track, but still good to hear no the less.
que tal...
bueno chicos; ya saben, si quieren que se incluya el audio en su idioma todo lo tienen que hacer es un boicot XD
de haber sabido, en proyectos anteriores de la Blender Foundation, se hubiera organizado la comunidad hispano hablante para que se incluyeran los subtÃtulos en español (minimo) xD
saludos...
So glad this is going to have English, wasn't going to get it before because I didn't like the idea of subtitles. I've already pre-ordered it now!
Wow, great news - although I didn't realize the lack of English audio when I ordered the DVD a week ago. All the more reason to be happy!
Wow thanks to all for your input!
A quick thanks and now back to work!, I'm halfway with Antonio's Cloth tutorial right now :)
cheers!
Excellent decision. Reading subtitles and watching the video would have been unpleasant, and now the DVD is much more open to the UK and USA. Bravo!
Pablo: Nice. :) Bring it on!!!
Pablo: you do great work btw :) never give up, man
felicitaciones pablo, ojala sea un exito.
The trailer looks very nice, I like how the little working tool goes over the surface and has effect on it.
I've pre-ordered the dvd! This way I can support Blender and can get better at it. :)
I wish Blender foundation, could also release the DVD Titles in digital format,
both for costumer who buy the DVD, and who only want it's digital download.
Firstly, because of the time it takes to arrive, after shipment. Users could watch
it, as soon its finished.
Second, is the advantage of not having to pay money to manufacter the DVD, or
even, the importance with the earth, non polution.
