I can't find it either. Would someone be able to post a link?

Thanks


You're not allowed to post links to torrents. Here's a step by step guide to finding it though:

1). Go to: thepiratebay.org
2). Check the video box on the front page (and make sure that's the only box checked)
3). In the search box type in Phantom of The Opera
4). Click Pirate Search
5). On the next page that loads the first two listings should be the file you're after (both have Re-synched in the title). One is a DVD disc image and the other is a DivX Avi encode. Decide which one you want and download it.

Jesus, that's nearly as bad as someone saying "How do I use Google?"

Actually that whole "Little Lotte" scene was problematic because in the movie, both Raoul and Christine spoke their lines (a very bad decision!!) at a much quicker -- and inconsistent -- pace than they sang it in the recording. There were similar scenes elsewhere but I think I managed to cover it up better in some other spots than here.

How do I use "online"?

I was in a hurry and did a quick search on Phantom of the Opera, then Phantom, phantom resynched, etc and the only thing I got was Iron Maiden and Nightwitch files. will try to search just video next time and see where that gets me. Their search engine must suck.

You know, you're right . . . my videos don't show up if I search for "All" categories!

Thanks for the sarcastic comments.
I have now found it, but it didn't show up under search all (which is a bit strange?).
The torrent itself is running at a real crawl at the moment. Hopefully it will speed up as I'm only getting 12k and it says 303+ hours to download the image.

For some reason, my combined upload speed on BitTorrent is only 17KB/s now, though it was in the 500s just two days ago!

It seems to be picking up quite a bit now. I'm now getting 180k+ on a 2mb connection. :-)

By the way... My Gran loved this. She's a big fan of Michael Crawford, and has said many times that no one matches him in Phantom... So she was very surprised and happy.

Quality is very good from what I saw, not that I watched very much at all. I'm sure that those people in this thread that have picked up on errors, won't bother the intended target here.

Thanks again.

P.S. DVD cover & disc art would be a huge bonus *hint hint*

If you ever get around to making your own edit, I would be very interested in seeing the choices you make in various scenes.



I think I search on the internet for a screen play or something to find where the scene went. I goes right after Madam Giry tells Raul the phantom's story. Right after Raul says "clearly he is a madman" (or something like that) the screen fades to the phantom in his lair, then after the scene is finished it fades to the black and white scene of old Raul in his carriage looking at a stag. It really fits in quite well. The reason it was cut was that they felt it slowed down the ending too much.

I really dig the amount of work you must have put into this wmgan - this must have been a real labour of love !

I'd forgotten how "synth-y" the London Cast recording was - it's an obvious product of the mid-80's, but I do prefer it to the Poomacher version - so good job

Similarly a DVD sleeve would be the icing on the cake - anyone up to doing it ?

UK'ers, if anyone has problem grabbing this (and it was quite a beast to find on piratebay) just let me know.

Best,

It was indeed a labor of love. The Phantom of the Opera introduced me to the world of musicals -- and it wasn't even the original cast recording I listened to first, but a second-rate recording that came with a magazine about musicals. I fell in love with the music, and when my cousin played the original cast recording for me, I fell in love with the singing. When the movie was released, it was like a dream come true despite the subpar singing (and I'm embarrassed to say I saw it six times in theaters, the same number of times I saw The Return of the King and Revenge of the Sith in theaters though as a movie it doesn't come close to those two). And when I finally saw the stage musical on Broadway last year, I was in heaven -- or almost, because to be honest it didn't quite meet all my expectations.

Now, the recent movie of The Producers -- that's the way a movie musical should be made (and I know I'm going to get lots of argument on this). Great singing, great acting. Those are the things that really count.

As much of a fan as I am of Andrew Lloyd Webber's vision of Phantom, I am also a huge fan of the Phantom story in general and I would like very much to see a movie version based on the original novel by Gaston Leroux during my lifetime. No, scratch that -- I really hope I can make such a movie. And I've also been thinking that a TV series about the Phantom's life before the opera (perhaps partially inspired by Susan Kay's novel but not entirely) would be a great idea.

If I have time (and HDD space) during the summer, I might try reworking this using uncompressed sources, and re-rotoscoping the swordfight/fireball scene. (Any tips on how to improve that would be greatly appreciated. As it is, it's a lightsaber-like effect, cycling through the red-yellow palate to avoid a static look (not that it worked, really); how might I rotoscope an actual flaming sword (like the one the Witchking had in the extended ROTK)?

I know that frameserving original DVD-MPEG2 files using AviSynth would give the best-quality sources (short of converting them to uncompressed RGB AVI files) -- thing is, I made this edit with a resolution of 640x272, which is the resolution at which I encoded my source XviD file (with the black bars cropped away). Does anyone know of a way to change the dimensions of a Premiere project (so that I can just substitute my source files with the anamorphic DVD files) while still keeping all the edits intact? (I don't think Premiere allows you to change the dimensions once you've created a project.)

Unfortunately, I think you're out of luck there. I use premiere for my video-based projects and I was frustrated once that I couldn't change the dimensions. Granted I am maybe .5 of (or even a whole) version behind - so it might've changed since then. There might be a way around it. I think I imported sequences from one project into another somehow and that might help you out. Good luck with it though - and welcome to the forums btw (since I haven't said it yet).

I'm not grabbing this at the moment, but I must applaud you after reading through this thread. It's always good to see these kinds of edits (ie. a labour of love). I'm sure someone here can give you advice on rotoscoping. However, from other people's responses, it seems this is a great edit regardless. I think that's the challenge; to create an edit that significantly improves or changes the original film. There are a lot of edits out there that don't do this, sounds like yours does.

Well, I think any fan edit has to be a labor of love to some extent, since the amount of work that has to go into editing just doesn't pay off unless you're a big fan of the film(s) in question (hence the "fan" in "fan edit").

Was really glad to see this one - got it from the Pirate Bay ...

I had had the exact same idea to redub the film - suggested the idea in the "Dream Fan Edits" thread a few times. I was very glad to see this done.


The "Photoshop fireballs" scene is pretty embarrassing, but apart from that, this was a great idea for an edit and I definitely enjoyed it. Certainly an improvement, and my mother and sister will like it. Interested in getting the DVD (I don't download full DVDs via torrent because I don't have much disc space to spare).

I actually prefer the movie version to the stage musical (gasp!). The revelation of the Phantom's past, the swordfight, the new "Don Juan," and the flashbacks (or flash forwards?) were all nice additions that enhanced the film. Also, I have nothing against the film soundtrack either (gasp!). Michael Crawford is excellent, no doubt about it, but Gerard Butler brings something new to the role, and I like his different approach. I don't understand why so many Phantom fans are down on the movie. I think it was great and am happy to have it in my collection. That said, I look forward to securing a copy of this very interesting project.

The Torrent link to the DVD seems to be dead. I get a connection error: ConnectException: connection refused.

Anyone seeding?

The Tracker must've been down. Ev'rything's okay now.
