How can I keep the tables on your web pages from overlapping?
Try hitting the F5 key on your keyboard several times.  This will help most of the time.

Why can't I just buy a copy of a game that you have?
I do not sell games for that action would be copyright infringement.  Unfortunately not everyone who has visited other trader web sites
are honest people.  Some are people who want to take away the right to trade.  Some of my fellow traders have been contacted by
people who work for studios and production companies that pose as "traders" whose sole purpose is to trick you into a potential
copyright violation situation.  See my
 DISCLAIMER before contacting me.

Why are some games listed twice with one version being longer than the other?
One version is the entire game while the other one, in Italics, is where the huddles have been edited out.

What is the typical process for a "Game for Game" Trade?  
1. We both agree on which games to trade.
2. We both try to make sure each dvd copy will play thru its entirety (exactly like the master dvd) on a dvd player.
3. The dvd copies that we trade
will not be labeled/marked, unless agreed otherwise.
4. We send the each other's dvds at an agreed time.

What is your preferred way in how dvds are copied?
1. Use of a stand alone dvd duplicator.
2. Use a computer software program to help burner a clone of a dvd.
3. Play the dvd (or vhs) & record the footage using a standalone dvd recorder.  Record at 1 hour, 2 hour, or a combination of those
speeds.  Sports video footage recorded or transferred onto a dvd using speeds of 3, 4 hour or longer speeds are known to have more
apparent pixels (compression artifacts) & be less enjoyable to watch. A compression artifact (or artefact) is a noticeable distortion of
media (including images, audio, and video) caused by the application of data compression.

How have you placed HD onto Blu-ray discs?
High Definition (HD) onto Blu-rays are produced by the following steps:
1. Live HD broadcast are recorded onto TV service PVR.
2. The broadcast is later played back from the PVR (via HDMI cable, 1080i) to the PC (Hauppauge Colossus PCI Express Internal
HD-PVR Capturing device).
3. ArcSoft ShowBiz software program was used to capture the HD footage.
4. The capturing software program will have the following settings (unless noted otherwise in the collection list): video capturing rate =
20 MB/s, 1920x1080i Frame, saved as *.ts files.  
5. PC Blu-ray burner, TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5, (Cyberlink PowerDirector 10 and/or PowerProducer 5.5 in the past) software
programs are used to encode the files & finalize Blu-ray discs (BD-R, 25GB discs) that are similar to a commercial produced movie
disc when played.
6. The finalized discs may have custom menus incorporated into them.
7. Copies of these Blu-ray discs will be done by cloning the original final disc using the PC, TMPGEnc Authoring Works 5 software
program & Blu-ray burner.

Notes about HD onto Blu-ray discs:
1. Broadcast commericals may have been removed from the final disc via skipping them during the playback process or trimming
them out using the software programs.
2. Disc titles and/or chapters may be incorporated into finalized discs & located within the game footage at commerical breaks, end of
periods, etc.
3. Video captured at 20 Mb/s rate allows there to be approximatly 170 minutes (max.) of HD video per disc.  Where as 15 & 10 MB/s
rates would yield approximately 210 & 300 minutes (max.) of HD video per disc respectively.
4. Video capture rate slower than 20 MB/s may be used based on: the low significance of the game & putting the footage on as least
number of discs as reasonable.
5. Video capture rates slower than 10 MB/s are not anticipated to be used.
6. More than one disc may be used per a game based on: the significance of the game & if there is pregame/postgame footage.
7. These blu-ray discs will fill the entire HD-TV screen unlike AVCHDs which will take a scaled down area of the screen. AVCHD is HD
content that has been compressed onto a 4.7GB disc (dvd).  The picture frame will still have a 16:9 ratio; however, the picture size has
been scaled down.  AVCHDs will not player on standard DVD-players.  You'll still need a Blu-ray player for AVCHDs.  


What can I offer in getting a copy of a game that you have when I have no game footage to offer?  
1. I'll trade for sports magazines or some type of sports memorabilia.
2. I'll even take a copy response from your U.S. House Representative asking him/her to support H.R. 25 (The Fair Tax).
3. I'll trade for blank DVD+Rs or BD-Rs.  Typically one game is split onto 2 DVDs.  If for example  you are looking in getting 2 games, I
would need 4 blanks to make your copy + 4 blanks for me as your trade + a number of blanks to cover duplication equipment wear + a
number of blanks to cover S&H your discs back to you.  
People have bought the blanks themselves & shipped them to me or they have purchased them online (Amazon, etc.) & had the store
ship the blanks directly to me.
I prefer these 16x speed DVD+Rs (not DVD-Rs) brands (in order of preference): Verbatim, Memorex, TDK, Sony. Please no Fuiji or
store dvds (CompUSA, Staples, etc.).   Blanks on spindles (cakes) are preferred.
I prefer these 4x speed (or better) BD-Rs brands (in order of preference): Verbatim, Philips, Memorex or Optical Quantum. Please no
store blanks (CompUSA, Staples, etc.).   Blanks on spindles (cakes) are preferred.
For every 10 dvds copied for you; 1 blank will be required to cover the cost of duplication equipment wear.                                                 
When estimating the cost for S&H; 1 Blank BD-R = 4 Blank DVD+Rs = $1 (approximately when they are bought in bulk).  

What is the typical process for a "Blanks for Game" Trade?  
1. I receive your list of games wanting copies of.
2. I send you an estimated quote on the number of blanks needed for the trade.
3. You send the send the blanks to me along with where to send them back.
4. I will notify you when I have received the blanks.
5. I will make your copies as time permits for this hobby.  I'll attempt to keep you up to date on your trade status.
6. I will make sure each copy will play thru its entirety (exactly like the master dvd/bd) on a dvd or blu-ray  player.
7. The copies will not be labeled, unless agreed otherwise.
8. On small trades I will place each disc in its own envelope.  I'll label the envelope of what disc is inside.   Larger trades (typically >19
discs) I will place the dics onto a spindle.  I will provide a note in the package or in an email with the order of disc stacked on
the spindle.
9. I will send you an email when I have sent the package along with a track/delivery confirmation number.
