Trippy & Phee, Thank you for finding and sharing this great gem! I would definitely buy this on DVD! Are you reading this RCA? Put in on DVD!



I championed RCA putting this out on a DVD (or future special edition of Kat's album) on Kat's MySpace comment section this morning. I'm not even sure Kat knows how great this thing turned out...so I hope she saw my post there today.  This EPK shows how effective Roger W. is as a publicist to say the least. Both the print press kits and this one are probably some of the best press kits ever compiled for a celebrity. Of course, Kat sells herself well anyway. All you need is Exhibit A-Z.

There's so many great moments in this thing--and I was hoping we'd eventually see footage inside the studio. It would have been criminal had there not been cameras inside there to capture a possible piece of history. And the good news is that there were cameras all over the place in there (or almost the proverbial fly on the wall) to capture a lot of emotion and expressions of everyone involved in the album's production. I never even knew what Nate Hills looked like before now. He pretty much resembles how Kat described him: Mostly quiet--yet really focused on getting the job done. His female assistant on the computer was all seriously business, wasn't she?

Some of my favorite goofy moments: Kat breaking out into 'Hello My Baby'...sung by the famous frog in the Looney Tunes cartoon 'One Froggy Evening.' That shows Kat's wacky Broadway side--and imagine her singing that in a Broadway musical comedy with top hat and cane.

Then, I'd have to cite Kat doing some Greek dancing while Emanuel Kiriakou and Walter A. play those ancient Greek string instruments. (I'll have to look up what those instruments are called exactly.) Amid all the pressures and emotions...Kat kept things lightweight to likely keep her sanity. When she was in those dark booths recording--all she needed was water dripping in there to probably end up going crazy.

And, yes, the 'OW' moment was the most magical thing I've seen of Kat at work...other than her awesome live performances. You almost wish they would have used THAT particular take of the song--even though the final is still amazing and will likely get a Grammy nod next December. Notice Walter A. and EK saying "You're killing us in here!" at the end (meaning they were blown away). Seeing Kat thinking she blew that take ("Whatever...") made you realize just how much of a perfectionist she is.

Anyway, go request this on Kat's MySpace so RCA sees that we want this on DVD. They could have at least put that as DVD-ROM content on the CD itself. That's fairly common...even on debut albums.

Edit: A huge round of thanks to Simon and Trippy for finding this and providing the downloads.

I was actually working with destinyxx, we had got the .vob files off the DVD and converted to avi and half way uploaded when trippy11 posted her link. Anyway, I learned a lot and here is a usefull tool for you:

download DVD Decrypter: http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/

Rips and decrypts a video off a DVD. That and Super, the worlds greatest video file converter, and we are set to boogie!

download "Super": http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

So it was worth the effort.


I'm having a hard time using this thing...could you give me a mini-tutorial on the basic operation of this thing? Thanks!



What is it you are trying to do and what is the problem? The decrypter worked pretty much by itself I found. And just taking the defaults in the file converter without even understanding the options will give you a very decent video.

Or are you downloading and trying to use the VOB files?

I'm not sure that you do know what he looks like because Nate "Danja" Hills isn't seen recording  in the studio with Katharine in the in this  video.  He does appear in the still photo montage at the end of the video though holding Nena in his lap.  Just so you know what he looks like here is a picture from Clive Davis' big pre-Grammy shindig:

Katharine McPhee, Corte Ellis and Nate "Danja"Hills

Corte Ellis and Danja co-wrote four of the songs on the album together.

Kat with Danja and Nena in the studio from the EPK DVD photo montage.

Katharine, Nena and Nate Hills  and a bunch of DanjaHandz employees.
