New Rad intro

Let me know what you think cause like I said, all menu buttons work and fits on a DVD5, with artwork and such in a DVD-ROM folder DVD size comes to around 4476, so its pretty much using around the max amount of space available
Only thing I can find wrong is the pictures in the chapter points dont match up to where they point, but thats bearable (I might look into fixing it but its seriously so petty I dont know how much I care about it)

Edit: OK I fixed the chapter points, the original DVD didnt even point to the pictures showing on the screen, but I went thru and had them all point to the pic on the chapter screen except the first pic, cause that has to be chapter 1 and it points to the beginning of the tristar trailer and not the Rad scene

Just checked both links, they both work fine

@belaraform
Im gonna send you a PM, just tired right now, expect one later

Old (The Starkiller) version appears to have been IVTCed to 23.976fps, however the decimation is wrong which leads to dupe frames and jerky motion.

Moth, you sure it runs at 23.9? Cause gspot reports it at 29.9 with the progressive fag lit, while the new version gspot reports 23.9 with the interlaced flag lit (which is what most movie VOBs report)

I know gspot isnt fail proof but the old version always just looked funny to me ( it was done with HDTV2DVD, I have no doubts about that)

I wa just doing a little internet surfing and saw that "Bill Allen" has revamped his website, I put his name in quotes because who knows if it is actually him.

Whats funny about it is he uses the INHD2 HD capture as a video clip on his main page LOL, this from the same guy who supposedly told us he had talks about an official DVD at the beginning of 2008 and a sequel in 2009 in the podcast link below.

Now I would love all this to be true but Im not that gullible, it doesnt take 18 months to make a barebones DVD with all the proper equipment, and if he had inside sources saying it was in the works why is he using the INHD2 capture?
Lets not forget no mention of Rad 2 on IMDB.

If it is really him and hes getting bad information, thats fine.....but I seriously think its an imposter and if so some people are getting slightly ridiculous

I hope to be proved wrong and get a better version than my DVD, what would be REAL funny is if they released an official DVD that was the same D-VHS source as the INHD2 TS just without the logo, and it wouldnt be that hard to figure out if it was the same source (left edge shows soundtrack and frame jumps during the bike boogie as well as other things)

The wiki has been updated to reflect the status of this project
http://originaltrilogy.com/fan-edits/fan-project-details.cfm/Preservations/title/Rad-1986/project/294/category/5/

Any questions can be asked here but any of the details of the movie will be available on the wiki

So where can we get this bad boy ... ?

Im planning on a v2.0 of this DVD, details are on the fanedits wiki
http://originaltrilogy.com/fan-edits/fan-project-details.cfm/Preservations/title/Rad-1986/project/294/category/5/

The new DVD will include
Completely new menus
Reworked script with improved delogo
Fixed colorspace/chroma bug

and it will still include
Tristar intro with music and no logo


I anticipate this to be the final version until some retail source comes out (if ever) and hopefully be done before Christmas

I've been waiting years....Another month won't hurt.

Hey guys,

I got the completed menus, here is what they will look like, I will also be adding a sound clip from the soundtrack to the main

Im still hopeing I can get everything done by Christmas, but it will be close, if not hopefully by New Years everything will be done

I was curious, is the colorspace/chroma bug you are referring to about the red tinted clouds in the first few scenes on the paper route?

No, it was typically resulting in this type of artefact:

Correct:

Conclusion: if you're carrying out any colourspace conversion, make sure you do it after IVTC. ;-)

Like the new menus - very classy!

Thanks Moth

Sorry I didnt answer the colorspace question, I was just occupied with showing the menus screens I must have overlooked it. Moth is right, that was the problem.

As for the intro with the red/violet skies, I dont plan on altering it. The reason for this is because I dont know for sure if its supposed to be like that or not. I dont have the LD to compare but the on VHS the color scheme seems to be very similar to what is on the HD broadcast, so Im guessing it was intended to be this way as it does represent the transition from night to dawn accurately and I would assume it was how it was filmed.

Obviously we would only know this for sure if an official DVD would be released
