The Making of Alien Resurrection lasedisc arrived two days ago. As you may remember, there were two LD editions of this documentary - German and Japanese, in both cases it is a part of Alien 1-3 set (the same set released in France does NOT contain this bonus and the documentary is not available on any UK or US laserdisc). I chose to buy the first one, which is dubbed in German, and has no subtitles, while the Japanese one has in-picture text and English audio. Also, I prefer PAL over NTSC because of the higher resolution. And, most important, the German version was much cheaper (30 Euros incl s&h). Meedermow can restore the English audio track back later when editing the next Appendix, either from VHS or VCD copy of this documentary. For the first time we can even release something with two audio tracks.

The problem is that the man who made LD to DVD transfers for me in the past is not answering my emails. He also mentioned several times in mid-2006 that he is going to sell his LD players because he moved to DVD and possibly to BluRay. I am sending him one last email and I hope he will answer this time. Otherwise, I must lend the disc to somebody here. DigitalfreakNYC can't play PAL LDs. What about Meedermow?

Guys, does anybody have BidPay account? I need somebody who can pay for another Alien video in my name because the seller accepts this payment method only. Not a big deal, approx 30 USD.
