Default Ok, I was really bored today and had a great idea!!!

So I figure.. Ok Ive got a Pioneer In-dash Screen/DVD player. but the durn thing doesnt have any cool screen or graphic eq's or animations..

So Why not make my own..

Took my Daft Punk-Discovery Album and Ripped to Mp3's First
Used Fraps and Winamp /w MilkDrop Visual Plugin and Recorded Each Song
Then Took Sony Dvd Architect to Encode all of the Videos and Design a Menu Driven DVD.

So Now I can cruise and actually have the screen doing something other then an ungly blue screen.

Here is a Still shot of the Menu Running on my TV at home.


Heres just a still during a song, I had the plug in set to random and theres hundreds of presets so you dont end up seeing the same animation more then once. Gonna Try it out Tomorrow in the car and see how it looks but on the tv in the house it turned out pretty good



This was just done as a test and about 13 tracks with video and menus only took up about 900mb on the dvd so I could easily fit 3-4 albums or just my favorite songs on one dvd.. Would be great displays for Car Shows and Such to
