I agree. I truly enjoy this forum and everyone in it. Everyone goes out of their way to help each other.

From talking with Withay, I believe it will be easy to see Arod's using a Rawlings bat. If so, wow! I will post pics once I get the DVD.

Now my question to you bat experts. Although many collectors prefer Arod's LVS, since it's what he is known for mainly using. Wouldn't you say this bat would be pretty rare? Being a HR bat, solid documentation, and it's the only known Rawlings gamer I know of.

Your thoughts. Tony

If it's all good are you going to send the DVD to Mears to have them amend the LOO they did for you recently or has that all been cleared up? I remember a recent thread in which they mentioned there was no photomatch available for the bat on the LOO you received from them.

Tony,

Did you ever think you'd find a photomatch? Or how long did you expect it to take?

Yes, I'll send the DVD to MEARS and have the LOO upgraded to a "without a question...no doubt...100% Game Used Bat."

To be honest, never. I searched for some time, with negative results. I couldn't even find one picture of Arod ever using a Rawlings bat.

With all the talk about Arod signing anything and everything game used, I was actually worried if I was ever to find a video of the game, he wouldn't be using a Rawlings in that game.

I did feel more confident though that the chances were good, considering the bat is from 1996 and his first full season. I thought less of a chance of him doing that back then.

I'm excited and can't wait for the DVD. I will post pictures and the video, if possible.

Regards, Tony

I would go even farther and say the bat you own is one of a kind.

Rarer than rare.

Can't wait to see the photos!

Any recommendations on what programs or services I could use to get good quality still photos from the DVD?

Thanks, Tony

I have not tried this... but I believe that if your computer plays dvds you could pause the screen on the shot you want. Then press the "print screen" key on your keyboard- should be to the right of your backspace key. Then go to your image software (photoshop, etc) and the "control" and "V" key at the same time, that is the command for paste.

not that simple. in windows, video displays on a different "layer". hence if you do what you suggested, you'll get the all-too-common empty or black paste because what was copied was the wrong layer. most programs, incl. windows, don't know which layer you're trying to copy. the default layer is not the layer that the video is playing on. i've been punching myself in the face trying to get screenshots from dvds on my computer to no avail. i've done all the usual tricks, such as turning off overlays, etc and still nothing. i think what you need is dvd software that specifically has screen capturing functionality built into it, like cyberlink's powerdvd. microsoft's windows media player doesn't have screen capture functionality so most folks try to use alt-printscreen which often doesn't work.

tony:

if you want the best shot at this, i'd get cyberlink's powerdvd. here is their website: http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/produ...n_1_en_US.html

cyberlink makes a variety of different software so make sure you get "powerdvd" specifically. the current version is 8 but i think they also sell 7 at half price and ver.7 should be able to take screenshots. i believe it saves them in .bmp format which is ideal. better than .jpg.

Customs will hold it up longer than you would expect.
