Kim Possible - Bueno Nacho
I've just posted some DiDcaps from "Kim Possible" - "Bueno Nacho" at the link below. Enjoy.

Cool. I'm all in favor of hard limits. Just one thing...would you be willing to consider 480 rather than 400, just to placate those vidcap geeks among us who find it an easier number with which to work?

Tape, Plus, Image
>Blind Witness - tape gag around head

"One False Move" have similar scene, but with several black actress / DID.

>Plus size DID
Perhaps Minnie Driver on wet / underwater bondage scene.
(Movie on armored car robbery)

>Image size max 400x400
Any limit on color depth? (16, 256, 64K or 16M colors?)
The size of BW bmp picture is only 20 Kb, but the size of 16 M colors bmp picture is 500 Kb.
The size of compressed JPEG image depend on the image and quality of image.

Ulee's Gold also had several actresses with tape gags, and I think they were wraparounds.

I don't remember Minnie Driver ever being a plus size by any but Hollywood lollipop-worshipping standards, but the name of the movie you're thinking of was "Hard Rain."

Stick with jpegs. they say that GIFs are better for line art and images with lots of flat planes of color, but I haven't seen much diffo in file size. Also, if you can get your hands on an image editor with "Save For Web" as an option or equivalent, do so. It'll really shrink your file sizes without much loss of image quality.

Yah, GIFs are just plain wrong for photographic content, unless you need the animation capabilities of GIF89a for some reason. (A case could also be made for small GIF thumbnail images with seriously reduced palettes -- but even there, JPEGs compete well.) Photographs simply don't compress nearly as well with GIF's run-length encoding as they do with JPEG's discrete cosine transform. Plus, you take a serious hit with GIF's 256-color limitation.

I tend to see GIF photos from the old days and ask myself how we ever put up with that...

Do the extra footage included extended scene of the oriental cutie or only Kim Cattral ?

I was wondering about this too. My sense is that the moderator is more concerned about images with large physical dimensions that might not look good in a small window than he is about large files (in terms of KB) that might take a while to load -- even though the latter is arguably more problematic than the former for the typical reader.

Brian: how about a 480x640 pixel/100KB limit for any given post? In other words, the one to three images in the post may not exceed 307,200 pixels or 100KB total?

Sorry...work carrying over into hobbies and such. Perhaps this is drawing the lines in too obscure a fashion, but I do believe that it's the most promising road to a solution that makes everyone happy.

An episode of the defunct series "WiseGuy" featured the Latina singing star Martika bound and gagged with duct tape wrapped around her head.

There is, in fact, one very nice added scene with the delectable Suzee Pai B & G, being menaced by the wicked Madam.

Just the oriental girl scenes on disc 2, but it was great seeing Kim's scene in widescreen, since the full screen version cuts off part of her legs when shes hogtied.

Have there been any wraparounds with white tape?

Sure, that will be fine.

BMPs are not appropriate for the web, period.

This ain't tech forum, you have my requirements.

It's a combination of both. Generally, a smaller size
image will drive down the file size. Of course, server
speed enters into it as well. I'll still reserve the
right to do something about really slow-loading images.

I don't want to get too technical. This is why I resisted
giving any limits before.

There was no kidnapping in tonight's Angel, nor any restraint for any of the females.

Brilliant, as it so often is:

Kidnapped Hilton Sisters Appalled
By Captor's Basement
NEW YORK—According to Monday's New York Post, hotel heiresses Paris and Nicky Hilton are aghast over the condition of the basement of their kidnapper, William Henry Buntz. "My sources tell me that Paris and Nicky are bound-and-gagging over the less-than-tony trappings," Post Page Six gossip columnist Richard Johnson wrote. "Sources say their crazed captor has creeping crud and crawling centipedes in his cellar... and it's got the spoiled socialites in a snit!" As of press time, police have made no attempt to locate the sisters.

How many seconds of the full hogtie scene do you get without Kurt Russell in the way?
