Child is the Father of the ManI just bought the SE '04 set without the bonus features disc; as you know, this one does not have the GOUT. May I now download stuff like OCP's "classic edition"?

Child is the Father of the ManIf I get the VHS THX remasters, which are about the same as the LD if I'm not mistaken, can I download fan edits that use GOUT footage?

Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in...Dark Jedi and I discussed this release at great length before posting, and our interpretation of the rules was that this release clearly fell into the Preservation category. I believe Dark Jedi's reputation also speaks for itself, in terms of what he has done for the Fan Edit and Preservation community; in short, he deserves to be heard and to get cut some slack.
Under the following rule of originaltrilogy.com, I believe Flash Gordon falls into this category:
3. What is a custom DVD?
A custom dvd contains a film essentially the same as a retail release, but with differences in technical details such as sound mix, picture quality, and so on.
Examples:
Japan cut of Kill Bill Vol. 1 with English subtitles only on Japanese dialogue
Star Wars Episode III with comedy "backstroke of the west" subtitles
Any DVD released in letterboxed widescreen converted to anamorphic widescreen
DVDs with an alternative soundmix
The Flash Gordon NTSC DVD is long out of print, and was a shoddy release. Dark/Cassidy's version, which was a conversion of the PAL DVD, featured improved picture quality and an unavailable Dolby Digital 2.0 mix, custom artwork and several rare items on the DVD-ROM.
Dark Jedi and I worked extremely hard on this release, and after much discussion we are curious as to how this project differs from any of the Star Wars fan preservations, in principle. We feel that this release, and ultimately us, are being treated unfairly.
Neither one of us is looking to pick a fight but would like an explanation of the deletion of any mention of the project, Flash Gordon PAL2NTSC, and a clarification of the rules.
Thank You.

<..>You may start a thread about this under the custom DVD rules. That means you may post details about the disc, methods used for conversion, even post download links for any unreleased DVD-ROM extras. But there is to be no discussion about distribution whatsoever - not even vague hints. As far as this forum is concerned, members are to buy the region 2 release and convert it themselves following your instruction.
This treatment is no different to any Star Wars projects, and I've edited several posts in the past for the same reasons. Here's one for example.

Child is the Father of the ManThe film was the 1960 broadcast of Mary Martin as Peter Pan, which was a live version produced for TV. Is this allowed, or not?
I apologize, my questions are probably getting very annoying by now.

<..>As for what is allowed to be discussed in this forum, I'll try and keep it simple:
- A capture from VHS is preservation. You are allowed to discuss your project and its distribution.
- Enhancing a released DVD (by mixing alternative audio/video, converting PAL to NTSC or letterboxed to anamorphic) is a Custom DVD. You are allowed to discuss your project, but not its distribution.
- A straight copy of an out-of-print DVD is piracy. You are not allowed to discuss such activities here.

EmperorAhhh... are you guys aware that your advertisers are breaking your own forum rules?

The rules are in place to protect the forum and its members. The advertisers are another matter; they need to police their own content.

Karstens CreationsGreetings, All!
I'm new here, so please forgive my inevitable stupidity...;)
I see the majority of posts here are SW related...but is there any interest in discussion of NON-SW related Fan Edits?
I ask, because I have completed a fan edit of Stephen King's 'The Mist' called 'The Novella Cut', which restores the original book ending to the film (created from scratch)...
Is discussion of non-SW related films acceptable here?
Thanks!
