Sunfly HD Series

Dave, before I go buying these discs, will we have any issue playing this HD format? I saw another KJ using them and they are so clean...no glitches on any graphics. Really professional looking.

if you're on a Mac, and a very high end one at that, then it should be okay to play up to 720p, but to be honest kJams 1.0 was NOT optimized for video (no hardware acceleration). So, you really should go buy one video and play it and see how it works on your system before fully committing.

note that kJams (next version) *will* have hardware accelerated video

Thanks. I will try it and report back. I use a 2011 MacBook Pro w/i5 Processor & 16GB Ram...

They play just fine...and the key changes work too...

Thanks for the compliment!

DeusEx was the creator of the Sunfly HD videos, using kJams Producer, by the way.

I kinda figured. I like them a lot...bought a bunch to test out.

Although I did get a few complaints on the lyrics for Thrift Shop by Macklemore.

FTR, I have NOTHING to do with any of the tracks post December, 2012, for reasons I shall leave unsaid for now. That includes that Macklemore track.
I spent a great deal of time and effort insuring the quality of my tracks, including precise lyric timing, as well as accuracy (the original texting for MANY of their tracks was ridiculously incorrect.) I often corrected their copious errors by hand. (You want a good laugh? Check out SF's version of "Maniac" by Michael Sembello. The lyrics are so bad, they literally cause you to laugh out loud. I suspect they were transcribed phonetically by a committee of 90 year old deaf Estonian men who speak no English from a broadcast playing on an AM radio sitting in a toilet in the bathroom behind a closed door on the other side of the neighbor's house across the street.) I can not speak to what they are doing now.

I also know some of the original texters, as well as the musicians creating the music. The musicians are top-notch guys, out of Buenos Ares, and so were the original group of texters. But for one reason or another, they too are no longer working with SunFly. Let's just say quality and accuracy take time, and time is money.

That is all.
