As for audio, how about "monaural" or something?

Here you have the features:

  • Pan & Scan 4:3 (1.33:1)
  • Sound: Italian Dolby 2.0 Mono
  • Subtitles: English

 

1971 (1976), Approx. 81 minutes

Italian rating... ??

Myscamore, love your cover!!! That's gonna look awesome. If released as two seperate dvd's maybe have a similar design for both covers but with different art used for each one, so that when sitting on the shelf they look like they are part of a set? Personally i'd like to see this as a two dvd set, more room for bitrate on each disc and i really like Myscamore's cover!

Thanks, but I haven't really done that much yet, I think it's the artwork you guys like. ;) But I'll finish it, and don't let my attempts hinder you from doing cover art, the more the merrier. :) I'll take your suggestions into account when doing cover art for the original cut, I will probably use the '77 poster art for that one or the US homevideo art.

As for how we want to present it, don't worry, I definitely want the LD on a dual layered DVD on its own, I was just thinking that you could release that as a 2-disc set if we would want some extras, a single layer would be enough for that. The material would be stronger linked to that feature than the Italian anyway.

I did that, wondered if anyone would notice :D I wanted to have thx looking at the displays on the dashboard.

Oh, so it was you... I have a sharp eye. ;) I was actually thinking it was two different versions of the art out there for a second, those small revisions are done quite often.

 

The Italian video is finished and it's actually quite watchable now. I had a power loss in my building just when the encoding was about to finish, (which was fun, especially when my computer is so damn slow) but when I made the new encode, I screwed up somehow with the videobitrate setting, fortunately in the right direction, this will mean that erri_wan's file that was only 700mb with an average video bitrate of 1060kbps is now about 3gb big with an average of 5118kbps, quite an overkill. I just want to know if it's ok with you? I really don't wanna encode this a third time. It will take a little longer to upload and download though.

I'm going over the Italian audio right now and I noticed that it's out of sync in some places especially in the intro, have you noticed this Silver and erri? it seems to get in sync just as they splice to the opening credits. At first I thought I had done something wrong when I encoded the audio but it's actually this way on the source. I'll see if I can fix it...
