Where do you begin with a review of a product this huge? Shipped on a single DVD-Rom, there are 22 folders full of goodies, plus a tutorial, an html catalog, a printed catalog, and a copy of the Mac and PC QuickTime installers. First, let's look at what's in all those folders, and then we'll break it down and look at all the parts, so here goes...

Video Clips
49 320X240 video clips in QuickTime and AVI format. They contain no audio tracks. You also get a jpeg image of the first frame of each clip. |

Animated Elements
60 320X240 video clips in QuickTime and AVI format. They contain no audio tracks. You also get a jpeg image of the first frame of each clip. These appear to be from the DigitalJuice JumpBacks library |
So, have you been doing the math? The total number of images, NOT counting the still images from the video and animation clips, totals 59,227 images if I did the math right. That's a heck of a collection, all for $199.00.
All of this is packed onto ONE DVD that includes a printed catalog (when's the last time you saw one of those?). While the catalog doesn't include all the remixes, there is a page that shows what the different variations are, so you can get an idea of what each remix will give you.
