The Holiday Special I uploaded as a torrent is my first transfer (my brother really) - here are the details...

I transfered this myself with by brothers help using a PC (Intel 800mhz) with an AllinWonder 128 video card (PCI) from a Panasonic VHS player (nothing fancy - since broke and thrown away) using Monster Composite cables (RCA , Yellow, Red White), TMPGenc 5.10 was used for the MPEG2 encoding (standard CBR - no fancy 2nd pass) Authored with ULEAD DVD 1 - I botched the video settings importing the the commercials part of an SECOND H.S. VHS tape (same broadcast but a 10th gen copy!!) and they did not come out full screen! (DOH) - The ORIGINAL also included a DVD-rom folder with a ton of extras and the printable covers (a remix of one of the covers from the prilliman website) it also featured my remix CD in MP3 format and a cover also plus my NFO's. (menu art was Chewies house )

IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I posted it for free but so many have profited from it - THIS has also happened to Dr. Gonzo's OT transfers (ejackers have made MILLIONS from Dr. G's set!!) and Cowclops original transfer (sold by TR47)

I can get this to ANYONE for a VERY small donation - Screw those ejackers I'm the original creator - I never ment for this to be sold for profit (that's why I uploaded it was for fans to get it for free!!) people are getting swindled paying $30!

THE second "unauthorized white" version was done with the a transfer that I got from Rowman (the second and better version then mine that is on eBay now also - has wookies in the menu, isolated cartoon segment and a single Kenner ad with R2 and 3PO) - I just redid the menus to match the menus for my other releases (white menus - I have matching DVD cover/menu art for all of them )) - and added a rare FOX NEWS clip abouth the anniversary of the H.S. - I have given a few copies of this one away to forum members (in trades and what nots) ReverendBeastly included in this run ( me thinks )... but this one has never been uploaded.

THE FINAL and second version "unauthorized white" version was made from the VERY same "KCCI" Broadcast tape from above (WHICH is really a BETA tape > VHS transfer > DVD - I've seen a REAL life BETA tape at Celebration I when I was there)

- This version was sold on eBay by both my brothers for $9.99 for a limited time (the auctions also came with instructions to get them via the torrents and the OT forums for free, trade or a few bucks - and my email address was included) it also includes a big fat DVD-rom folder with my NFO and a TON of stuff - BUT my brother was reported and shut down for selling MY Datsun DVD's which is ODD that it was NOT the Holiday Special but the Datsun DVD's EVEN stranger is the fact that this syncs up with every post I made about profiteer[s] here on these very forums hmmmmmm.....

I have also burned about 20 copies for people that have emailed me about this disc (you still can!!) - SO I can say between Al, P-Dogg and myself we have done about 45 DVD's total between trades,ebay and giving them out but this one has never been uploaded either..
