It does blip out (has since been fixed) but it shouldn't be too often.

Oh yeah, it isn't often at all. I just thought I should point it out.

@badboy1997

VLC nightly versions (available at http://nightlies.videolan.org/) handle BDMV folders best as per my experience. There is an option to play BDMV folders through File→Open or something like that.

@digitalfreaknyc

Thanks for a brilliant upload, but I was wondering if the documentary on John Cazale you mentioned in your first post (I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale HD) is included in your release. I didn't see it in the release notes (and I don't want to download the whole thing just to find it's not included), so please tell me if it's there. If you do have an HD version of that documentary (and you haven't released it already), I'd be very grateful if you would upload it. Thanks again!

For those interested, I will also be capturing the Godfather documentary that is premiering on the History Channel tonight. ;)

Unfortunately, the documentary was a huge disappointment, for me. Too many film clips and not enough interviews.
The saving grace for it was never-before-seen home video footage from the family that owned the house that stood in for the compound. There was also additional screen test footage that wasn't shown in the 1990 documentary.

It kills me that Jaws and the Star Wars films have had numerous documentaries and The Godfather has really only had one. :(

T'is a pity, isn't it? Then again, The Godfather film itself does have, to its credit, a beautiful restoration by Robert Harris, while Star Wars has well... do I need to say it?

Well, there were plenty of interviews in the Blu-Ray special features box set. Anyway, dfnyc, will you be uploading this new documentary or the John Cazale one?

Are you talking about The Godfather? Because there really isn't. It's the same singular documentary that was created to promote the third film in the early 90's.

Yes, I was talking about the Godfather. I guess it is the same documentary. Anyway, would you please tell me if the John Cazale documentary is in this torrent and if not, if you would mind uploading it?

I can definitely upload it. It's not a part of this torrent.

Wonderful, thanks so much. Please let me know when you have uploaded it so I can download it.

Hello everybody. DFNYC, thank you for this effort, I wasn't aware there is a HD version of a tv novel. This are great news! 

The Newsgroups version (2,something GB) won't extract. I downloaded it twice and it wouldn't open due some invalid files inside.

Torrent (44,55 GiB) is working; not very much seeding though.

Any downloading advice is welcome, here or PM.

Thank you, kind regards to all fans

DW

wise you must be.

The changes that George Lucas has made over the years to Star Wars is the equivalent of someone keying your car. On an intellectual level, you know that the car still works, and its only marred a fraction of a percent of the paintjob. On an emotional level, every time you see it, it's all you can focus on, and it makes you want to rip someone's face off.

Hi i am trying to get this saga, I am wondering if I can send or trade someone with blanks in exchange for a copy burned to blu ray or I can trade some DVD's.

 

I don't have a blu ray burner yet and am dying to get this release

I'd be interested in this but isn't somebody else working on or is already done with an edit on these boards?


Whomever it is/was, it wasn't in HD.

Hi all.

First of all, fantastic idea for an upload, much kudos to digitalfreaknyc on a great effort.

I am really interested in downloading this and am just checking if there is anywhere with it available.

Could someone tell me if the AMC logo is visible in the film, and if there are any ad breaks on AMC (I am from the UK)?

Yes, the logo is always there.

No ad breaks. Everything has been edited.
