Several people have brought it up but he hasn't said if he's doing a commentary. He really should, if not only to point out all the changes on a scene by scene basis.

A text/subtitle commentary would also work for this.

No, this is a PAL project because i wanted to work with the highest quality picture available (the HD version wasn't available at the time) plus i live in PAL country. Because i will be doing both NTSC & PAL for the DVD i render a PAL master of just the video first and then use Virtualdubmod to then create a NTSC master. All i have to do is resize it to 720x480 and change the framerate to 23.976. Then i just convert the audio from 25fps pitch to 23.976fps pitch using Vegas and that's it.

An audio commentary won't be happening i'm afraid. I just hate the sound of my own voice and never know what to say on these things anyway. There is a subtitle track on the DVD's that point out almost all of the changes

Anti-Matter. what problem are you having with playing the video? If you downloaded this via torrent is it possible that your client reported it as complete but it actually wasn't ( i've had problems like that in the past). try forcing a re-check on the file just in case. If not then try using VLC media player. I have heard that the latest version of the xvid codec has been giving people problems playing movies rendered with older versions in certain players.

You can check to see if the file is ok with this method:

download quickpar from here:
QUICKPAR
Install it and then download this par file to the folder that contains the movie
par2 file for checking
open up the par2 file with quickpar and it will scan the video to see if it is corrupt in any way, or has been changed from the original

I can't give a time frame on how long the revised version is going to take to complete. i'm having problems with the "hand" scene. i just can't get the lighting correct on the hand mainly because the wife is one of the worse photographers in history.

(she's gonna kill me for saying that)
