Hi everyone.. Quite new to the forum and have been lurking for quite some time to get a feel for the board.
I am not sure if it is here or somewhere else i should post but this seems asw good a spot as any.
To preserve the films maybe we could set up something akin to the MAME project that is trying to save
all the old arcade games by having a community of burners who would be willing to make copies for just
the bare bones costs or just receive DVDS and send them back filled. Anyways just a thought.
I'll lurk some more but this board is so far my favorite with somethingawful.. learn new stuff everyday here. Lots of people are using the torrents now, that's fine. If people want to get burns sent to them they only need to ask around a bit in PM's, and they'll find sources. It's really not too concerning how people are getting them, so long as they know they do have access to them. Perhaps Jay could create an official distribution thread and allow discussion of "selling" discs there...
Cowclops, thanks for posting on this forum. I guess I haven't entered this thread in while... it is interesting to hear your thoughts. I still believe that a non-anamorphic preservation is in the best interest given the source material.Originally posted by: Laserman
With DVD9 blanks being cheaper than purchasing a movie, I don't see the point in going DVD5... Are people here really so cheap that they won't shell out 10 bucks for an excellent copy of any of the OT movies in the best possible quality? Or is it that Dual Layer sets would be less profitable for a seller?
I think it's a number of reasons. For what it's worth if there is enough interest I'd be more than happy to get a DL burner to supply discs to others. But reasons for preferring single layer DVD-R... it's cheap, very reliable (DL media will probably skip and pause more), and the fact most people with a DVD burner have single layer burners and probably don't want to get a new burner just to burn SW, and the torrent file will be twice as big to download, and if they don't like that it'll be much more expensive to buy one from a seller. Any sellers who sell the sets for profit, and not in the interests of film preservation shouldn't be here. Hi everyone..
