I somehow found time to get the new Evolution transfer done last night - I have copies ready to go! Admittedly it isn't quite 4.7GB (Explorer says it's 4.2GB - but is that out of 4.7 or 4.37GB? I can never remember...)
Anyway, the bitrate is really maxed out (9 Mbit/s average, allowing for audio at 224 Kbit/s) - I couldn't have realistically made it any higher while maintaining DVD-video legality.
By the way, this is just a copy for the purists, and a very basic one at that (just a play all disc, albeit with 13 chapter stops). Meedermow is very welcome to make a menu for this version – I’m going to be making more effort with my own 2-disc collection, for which I have made a slightly smaller version (allowing room for a short excerpt from that ’92 Ridley Scott documentary on the same PAL disc).
So if the following folks would like to PM me their addresses, I’ll get copies sent out to them – whether they redistribute or torrent, it’s up to them! I do have a request of each one – it’s not conditional, I’d just appreciate the extra stuff!
Klokwerk – I’d appreciate copies of your ‘Alien Archives’ discs – I’ll no doubt find plenty of interest there.
Ash595 – Those Galaxy and Beyond trailers would be great.
Meedermow – I’d like to see your corrected version of the Danny Boyle documentary please!
RIJIR – ‘Alien Redux’ sounds fascinating – if you’d like to trade it for Evolution we’ll sort something out.
Triffid – I don’t need anything from you right now, just remember me when the new Giger’s Alien becomes available!
So, Alien War huh? I went there a couple of times! But here’s a tougher one – who else was at the UK Alien Convention in 1993?
