Hi,	
	I was wondering how ppl were handing in show reels etc, or those in the
business would recommend handing them in.

At the moment I'm working on a Yaroze 3D Tetris style game, and an
OpenGL version of it. So when I'm ready i thought I'd burn the OpenGL
version onto CD so companies can see/play what I can do, and have the
Yaroze version on there as a .mov file ( like a rolling demo), and also
have the executables on the CD so if the company does regular PSX dev,
they can play that.

So I was wondering, since I'll be applying for games programmer jobs
rather than artists is the CD option better than making a video tape as
a "rolling demo" of my PSX and PC game dev?

I'm pretty sure at Uni they have the equipment for me to reverse dump
from  video tape (hence also Yaroze) to a computer, and they def have
the equipment for dumping to VHS.


Cheers for any ideas/advice/help etc

Al
