While I work the lead on the 16mm print of “Titanic” I’m going to complete the “Screener” project we discussed last week. I just bought a Grex video device that will go between my VCR & DVD recorder to remove the copy protection from my “Titanic” Academy Awards screener.

I’m doing XP Mode transfers of each tape to a DVD-R Dual Layer disc, and then will combine the two tapes on my PC into a single Blu-Ray disc.

I’m also going to include the two TV specials that aired around the time the movie came out, HBO First Look: The Heart Of The Ocean and the Fox Special Breaking New Ground to help fill space. I realize a BD-R might be overkill, but I want the quality to be as high as it can be.
