CSV laws ?

Rumors informs that there is a new revised Standard Act on the way.

The original standard act "El-Toro Standard Act for CSV Makers v1.01" was much about protecting the csv maker and setting up loose guidelines of how to organize csvs if there were to be accepted as official ET material.

The upcoming revised act "VG Standard Act for CSV Makers v1.?" seems to have a somewhat stricter approach towards the csv maintainer, including the ability to override decisions made by the maker. Is this a loaded gun in your back head ?, could be.

The pre-copy of the act includes new guidelines for new media and the conversion factors between medias, CD -> DVD -> DVD9 -> HDDVD -> BD etc, which is nice. It seems that things have loosened in this area.

There are minor additions about chronology and ordering including character use. All in the good interest of making good csvs which can be used anywhere, it seems.

A very good new thing is the "War Against Pre-Final", the act draft has suggestions about the maxinum timespan for a Pre-Final, which can turn up to be one of the better things the new act introduces.

Let's all hope for the best and get the most out of it.

Happy summer holiday to you from MG.
