Ho ho. I am going to help seed this for awhile.

Thanks for putting it up...if only we could get Building Empire back up.

Cool. Is that the NTSC or PAL version?

From the torrent name, this seems to be the NTSC version, but I haven't finished downloading it yet.

For 2 dys my RTJ torrent is stuck at 75% lol. Somone seed!

See, this is why I like getting stuff from Rapidshare.  Yeah, it costs a few bucks a month but I don't have to wander around forums begging for people to make stuff available when I want it.

I have JD and it's made my life a lot easier.  I can leave it running overnight and while I'm at work and with multiple downloads on a paid account, I can have stuff in a day or so.

Even better, if you can't afford a RS premium account, try jdownloader.  Automated downloads for free.

Thanks for that Mr Frink, the Mac versions don't to seem to work with this wind up laptop but the Linux version will work on Chateaux Bingowings main computer.

I've finished downloading the torrent, and it is definitely NTSC.

However, there seems to be a problem with the aspect ratio.  I cannot get the movie to display properly on my widescreen TV. I've adjusted my display settings, but the bottom of the screen is always cropped off.

Anyone else having this problem, or know how to correct it?

Originally was PAL.
Torrent file sizes match the original, so I doubt it's been re-encoded.

Looks like some fuckwit has tried jiggery-pokery on the IFO files, perhaps trying to fool his player.

Original IFO files (from Moth3r's usenet post) available here:

Didn't boon do this in NTSC,and he is famous for that tricking the player shit instead of a true conversion.

He did do the first version (pre-Miami).
IIRC his NTSC had exactly the same running time as the PAL original, which confuses me and suggests some sort of trickery with frame rate, but at least the resolution was downsized 576->480.

That's not the case here.
This Miami torrent appears to retain the PAL VOBs untouched (I can verify that later) so replacing the IFOs with the PAL ones should do the trick--as long as one can play PAL.

I should probably add that the movie plays fine on my 4:3 CRT TV.
