Hey there The Starkiller. I'm an Aussie and have been waiting to get my hands on a copy of Rad in HD for ages. Because of our shitty broadband speeds in Australia, downloading the movie isn't really an option for me, unless I don't want to use my internet connection for anything but that. I was wondering if you would be willing to run me off a copy? I am more than happy to pay for it - obviously. If not is there anyone else out there that would be willing to sell me a copy? Cheers fellas.

First I would like to thank Starkiller for all of your hard work, this is amazing. THANK YOU STARKILLER!!! This is actually my favorite movie of all time.

I have been searching for a good copy of this for years and even considered purchasing one from eBay, but figured that they were probably just DVD conversions of the same VHS rips that I had already downloaded. Then I stumbled upon a torrent for this DVD5 version, and my search for the DVD9 version mentioned in the .nfo has led me here.

Now I am new to this forum and the concept of PIF but would gladly send blanks and postage to anybody that still has the source HD .ts files that they would be willing to send me. Or a repost on usenet would be great also.

Again, thank you so very much. Even if the DVD5 version is the best that I can get, I am forever grateful.

I have seeded just over 100 GB on this so far, I will continue to seed if people are still grabbing it.
I'm thinking of getting metal legs.

I found this thread from Google and I'm amazed at what has been done. As another longtime fan, I've been dying to have this on DVD for the longest time. I have a lousy rip from VHS that I made, but HD would really be the ticket. I'd be more than happy to PIF a dual layer copy or seed my heart out if I was able to register for some of the BT sites mentioned.

debonbon, thank you for seeding this. I'm about to start downloading the DL version and I'll be sure to seed it for as long as possible.

Looks like Demonoid bit the dust.I know there were a few people on these discs.
I am willing to seed on another tracker but one problem.My discs bit the dust.I don't know how but they hardly play and I cant rip them to my HDD
If anyone here can put them on usenet I can then turn around and seed on a tracker like ILT or Spleen

Hello, I found this forum while searching for the movie Rad. Anyways, I have the HD version, but I want to learn how to author the DVD correctly so I can burn it. "The Starkiller" could you please PM directions on how to author the DVD with your menus? Nice job by the way!

I don't think he checks in here much anymore.
Have a read over at http://www.videohelp.com/
In short, get HDTV2DVD and run the .TS file through it to get DVD files.Take those DVD files and author in any number of DVD authoring software http://www.videohelp.com/tools/sections/authoring-dvd
There are guides on the site and a forum.It's pretty easy really with some software.TMPGEnc DVD Author is pretty easy to use for those who are new.

I much rather use USENET myself but some don't like to pay the fees which is understandable.
I think my problem is a used crap discs ( Memorex ) and the burn was bad on both discs.Funny thing is I cant get my new drive to read the discs but my old ( 3yr old ) drive will read it but there are still problems with the discs ( burn issue? )
Be nice to see then on another tracker and/or usenet again.

I did...........but not sure I can help.As I have said, my copies are bad for some reason.
If anyone could up to usenet or a another tracker we could start distributing this classic once again!

Yeah, that would rock. I am on winter break in a few days so this would be the best time! I would only need the DVD9 .iso with menus, the full resolution DVD Cover [so I could print it myself], and I would be all set. I even have some extra DVD Cases laying around . . .

I guess I forgot that I had backed these up on an external.I went looking for the HD capture of this to make a new version and saw the files....woo hoo !
Going up in a.b.dvdr and will take some time.Please be patient.Average up is 65 K/sec. This is the DVD5 version.
Whoever gets it can load it up on torrent for others who don't use Usenet.I wont do it only because I got tired of leechers bailing on me and having to seed triple the amount.

Big thanks goes to The Starkiller for originally doing this

Big thanks man. I'll be getting this in a few. I also have the dual-layer [DVD9] version as well thanks to a member of this board.

I made an .iso of the dual-layer version as well,

Could some please up the DVD9 version to the newsgroups

BTW, thanks star killer and everyone else for your efforts on resurrecting this classic. I've been searching for this for ages, was going to buy the vhs 2 dvd bootleg. I don't understand why they won't put this out on dvd. The only reason i stumbled across this site was because i found a clip of it online with the INHD tag in the corner and starting searching for Rad INHD!

I used dvdshrink to make an .iso out of this with no compression and i am having playback issues. Anyone else having probs? Should i just burn it as a data dvd instead? Any help appreciated!

Hey, everybody. I haven't been around in a while but I wanted to check in.

It's too bad about Demonoid. I checked on the old torrents from time to time and they were always doing well. Thanks goes to everyone who continued to seed and helped to keep them alive. Hopefully they'll get a new home somewhere.

Insanity, thanks for upping the DVD5 to Usenet! I'm on a crappy ISP so I can't do any uploading myself.

Why create an ISO? Just burn the folders (VIDEO_TS, etc.) to a blank DVDR.

I have to apologize,
I think the copy I uploaded was bad.It may have been a copy of a rip from my DVD that was not burned very good.Fact, that DVD wont even play anymore.It wont rip either and if it did it would be bad anyway.My DL version still plays but wont rip.
I just had a bunk burner ( Optiarc AD-7170A ) with crappy media ( Memorex )

Again I apologize for those used up bandwidth to get this upload.

It's weird it just freezes in a few spots but i can actually just skip forward with VLC right past where it freezes and it keeps working. Don't be sorry man, i can live with that compared to the last copy i had. However, if anybody has a perfectly working copy of this and can upload it, that would rock. There are a lot of people i know dieing to see this flick again!


- Also it seems to have what looks like bit rate issues, it will get pixelated now and then -- the strange thing, is i don't think it always happens in the same spots.
