Hi, I’m new here but see many people here have a lot of insite with DVD’s… and I am curious if there is a way to take the Total Movie
DVD that has the Troops Movie on it and isolate it by removing everything except the Troops movie, menu, and commentary byr Rubio. I have
DVD Shrink, but when you reauthor… you can forget about menus.

Thanks

Jason

Yeah I've seen it already torrented in a couple of places I think.

Edroj might have it.

I've done it. I even replaced the "Bad Boys" song.

You are correct Faid, I have it.... should make it available on the net?
Do, or do not. There is no try.

Hello

I've done it. I even replaced the "Bad Boys" song.


Will you please stop censoring Star Wars-related films you capitalist pig?

(I am sorry, it was too easy to pass on.)

I created a version from the total movie video that has three audio tracks (Bad Boys, Bad Droids and the commentary) but haven't gotten the selectable-audio menu figured out. Sending to MBJ soon for his help. I'm trying to create a compilation of Spoofs and Bonus Features from a few sources into one DL disc, with as much first-generation material as I can find. Most of this stuff is OOP so it's taken a bit of work to locate. Troops's "Bad Boys" audio is taken from the ANH compilation RowMan did because the audio quality there just sounds so doggone good.

LOL! Actually, I restored it to its original version. Ironically, it was "capitalism" that necessitated the change.

(God, now I'm doing it. )

...and where the hell is it already?!?

Still dorking around adding other titlesets in increasingly better resolutions. I'm pretty much ready to go though, but it's definitely a DL disc now. I could compress everything, but that would defeat the purpose.

Sorry if this gets us off topic, but is there a GOOD version of Mather's short films? The official versions are so small that they do look like crap when blown up to DVD resolution. I'm nonetheless adding them to my compilation because they are among the best SW spoofs in existence, but I wish he'd make hi-res versions available officially.

I thought this was just Troops and some soundtracks. What else are you putting on here?

Besides, I just need the files, themselves. It'll make it much easier for me to import and remaster them.

I'd really like to see a quality version of this.

No. Only the new "Bad droids" is on the DVD. I had to get the original "Bad Boys" song off of Kazaa.

Sadly, no. The original "Bad Boys" is not on Total Movie, due to licensing rights for the song. They created a spoof, which is actually funnier on paper, called "Bad Droids." It's excecution is just not as good. RowMan's audio just sounded positively awesome at 384 kbits as opposed to the 196 of the Total Movie, not to mention the original song. I lifted that and synched it to the total movie video, and for me it's a perfect way of watching Troops.

If I can only work out my multiple audio thing (or get MBJ to do it for me) then I'm ready to roll with this compilation. Hopefully Rik or somebody can torrent this bad boy and get it out there far and wide. Stay tuned.

Try ripping the full disc with DVDDecrypter in File mode, then stripping out everything but Troops using DVDFab. www.videohelp.com has great guides for how to do this. Familiarize yourself with this site and it'll become the greatest archiving reference in your arsenal.

If you select the right VOB with Troops, DVDShrink will remaster it for you, and you can burn the files straight to DVD. It's very easy, since you can preview the contents of any file (and now with audio).

Got my disc compilation working with selectable audio via menu for Troops (finally!) It's a very packed DL disc and I have no DL burner. If somebody can help assemble two single layer discs worth of files onto a DL disc, please PM me.

If you want to send it to me on two discs, I will send back a DL disc completed for you.

My version of TROOPS not only has the original Bad Boys theme, but also the mixed in Star Wars sound effects that go with the video of the title sequence like stormtrooper cross-talk and blaster sounds.

So its a RowMan enhanced mix? Super cool! I did NOT realize that.
