Foolishpassion.org is a "sister" or companion site to FoolishPassion.com, which is a North & South fan site.
This site hosts fan videos devoted to the adaptation of North & South (BBC, 2004) and also has a section with tutorials on how to make fan videos.
Tech info on the computers I use when writing the tutorials:
The tutorials were started in (I think) 2007, and I've gone through several computers since then.
Macintosh: I started writing the tutorials while using a 2005, first generation Mac Mini with a 1.25 GHz G4 processor and 1 GB of RAM. Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Then I progressed to a 2007 Intel Mac Mini with 1.66 GHz Core Duo with 1 GB of RAM and Mac OS X Tiger. After that, it was a 2007 (yes, another 2007) Intel Mac Mini with 2.0 Core 2 Duo CPU and 2 GB of RAM and Mac OS X Leopard. Then in 2009 it was time to upgrade to a 2.0 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of RAM and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. (Stay tuned for the next Mac Mini upgrade! LOL.) In addition, I also have made vids on my collection of old G4 PowerMacs. (Here's a special tutorial dedicated to these old Macs. They can be great vidding tools!)
Windows: Each Intel Mac I owned has had some flavor of Windows installed on it (via Boot Camp) and that's what I most frequently use to test out Windows software. Vista Home Basic, Vista Business, Windows XP Professional, and Windows 7 (64-bit) have been installed on my Macs. In addition, I have a faithful little used Dell with 2.0 GHz Pentium 4 and 1 GB of RAM running Windows XP Professional. Occasionally I'll also use an old custom-built AMD Athlon 1400 with 1 GB of RAM and Windows XP Pro. (There are a few other older PCs that I won't mention here. LOL.) Oh and I almost forgot—sometimes I do Windows software tests while running VMware Fusion on the Mac.
Most of the tutorials are tested out by using several computer systems. If I find that something doesn't work in one system but does in another, I try to make note of that. However, it's impossible to predict every possible glitch that might occur on every computer configuration in existence.
I've used consistent methods for several years now (like making clips with software like MPEG Streamclip, Avidemux, VirtualDubMod) and they've worked on all these computer systems. That is not proof positive that they'll always work, but it's a good indication that most of the time they are okay.
