OK. So I'm at home dealing with a bad back at the moment when out of the blue ( because I suck at checking my email,...sorry DJ) I get TNOTLD Blu Ray.

I watched it this morning and had a blast from the past! Isn't fun to watch movies that are miles more entertaining than the shit Hollywood has been putting out there lately?

DJ and the rest of team Blu you guys are pure professionals. From the artwork to the restoration everything has the look and quality of a big studio release.

Thank you DJ this is a fun movie. How cool would it of been to have been one of the zombies in this movie?

Whomever is responsible for the slip cover and the cover artwork has really done themselves proud.

Thank you for a better than retail release. Wonderful guys, thank you so much.

I love everybody. Lets all smoke some reefer and chill. Hug and kisses for everybody.

You can really appreciate this when viewing Team Blu's bonus content that compares the 2 side by side in real time, a nice 10 minute flow showing just how bad Twilight Time's is and just how good and balanced Team Blu's is.

don't call it bad! the work done by twillight time was actually pretty good. the only thing to criticize, is the total misunderstanding on how the movie should look.  if you had not idea how the previous releases looked or didn't read any of the raffle of this transfer, you can consider this a well done bd. heck, there are even people who prefer this look over the original theatrical presentation.

that being said: kudos to team-blue for making this release. the extras are pretty neat - i like the q&a with tom savinii) and on top we can to listen to the original theatrical mix.

thanks guys :)

I'm a complete amateur compared to many others who work with color timing and related things, yet I would never take a clean film and crush the shadow and highlight detail, no matter what color timing I aim for. I could easily have made the same color timing as they did but preserving all that detail and grain. This was a sloppy job probably made by somebody without knowledge about it.

I wanted to confirm that I did receive the disc on Thursday but wasn't able to take it out for a test drive until late yesterday and today due to a hectic schedule.  

What has become abundantly clear after viewing this disc and the Conan disc is that Team Blu are men of their word.  Simply put, the disc is unbelievably awesome and easily surpassed my lofty expectations.  I believe that this disc sets the new high bar for fan projects going forward.

To cut to the chase, I'm happy to report that I haven't experienced any issues with this disc and I have put this disc thru its paces.   All of the bonus features present work flawlessly. In fact I was very impressed with how watchable the workprint version was, easily the best copy I've seen.

As for the film itself, I couldn't be happier with the 2 versions which have been included.  They are both unique and should satisfy even the most ardent fan.

Lastly, I would like to take moment to comment on what I feel is the most impressive aspect of this disc, namely the seamless switching between the 2 versions of the film on the fly.  The technical aspects of this alone blow my mind.  I repeatedly switched between the 2 versions of film and the disc handled this flawlessly and just wouldn't let me down. Excellent work guys...excellent work.

In closing, download this with confidence, for this is the true collector's edition for fans of the film.  Team Blu has done all movie fans a great service with this package.  I want to personally thank Team Blu for all their efforts and want to encourage them to keep fighting the good fight. 

-VT

Thanks vbangle and vadertyme!

And DJ for sending it to me, I hope it arrives soon! It'll be interesting to try and switch between the 2 versions while watching. And to watch all the extras!

Oh, I almost forgot to thank zeropc too. In my last post I just pointed out that I really don't think the Twilight Time release was good and why, but forgot to thank you!

Knowing that so many people appreciate what we do makes it even more rewarding in the end.

Hi. I splashed out for a premium account to grab this and CONAN but don't seem to be having much luck. Speeds are slow and when I use a download manager, I keep losing connection.

At this rate, I won't be able to grab these discs before my account expires.

I would appreciate any help (PM me if need be) by those who have had success.

Thanks.

I'm using a temporary premium account and having success.  I have around 8 parts left to download for Conan EE and just started this morning.   Don't use the download manager.  I'm using chrome browser and downloading 5 at a time.

I guess I'll do the same and download them manually, then.

Good thing I went for the month-long subscription, as I definitely woulda  missed out with the 48 hour option.

Is anyone gonna make and share a torrent of this? I'd love to, but my upload is limited to 100KB/s max. Still, I'd be willing to help seed once I have the whole thing.

I hate to think how many of us will potentially pay good money to the hosting site just to grab this.

I would've preferred that my funds went back into the community somehow or, at the very least, towards boosting my newsgroup account.

I got all the files and they unrared just fine. I am currently shrinking it to a 25 gig disc with dvdfab since I can't find a good deal on 50G discs at the moment. I can report back if anyone wants to know how drastic of a quality hit it takes. If it's too noticeable of a quality hit I might just have to bite the bullet and buy some 50g discs. 

EDIT: Well it looks like dvdfab is not going to play nice with this. I've used it many times before to shrink blu rays, but something about this one does not want to play nice. Just locks it up. Looks like it's off to the store to get screwed on BD50 prices.

lol you do realize you have 2 feature length HD 1080p movies on that BD as well as the full version of the workprint, sorry but I really think it will look like total shit, all those extras and 3 full length movies?

You would think but I've converted a bunch of BD50 blu rays and they have been mostly fine. You are probably right at this point however. Just going to have to suck it up and get some bigger discs. I just wish the BD50s were not so damn expensive. 

Can I still pay you guys to get a nice copy or is the kitchen closed?

You can't pay us no, I may have some extras of all our projects so far, at this point I am not sure yet, still have some to send out, we accept donations for materials we use only, no cash of any kind whatsoever.

I get my blank BD-Rs from user jp-gift on eBay. They're reasonably priced.

Downloaded but not tested yet. Unrared fine.

I've ordered some TDK BD50 for 5,99 € each, I don't know if it's a good deal.

The guy I mentioned sells Verbatim BD50s for just under $3 (just over 2 Euro?) each, delivered - in lots of 10.

Wow! I'll remember that in the future, Griff! :D

I wanted to check the bluray in my PC. I tried VLC and it didn't work, then DAPlayer and no luck. Finally I installed the latest version of PowerDVD and it managed to play it.

Menus look nice, and there are plenty of bonus features. The video quality of the main movie is GREAT!!!!

I didn't check much more. The rest when I get the discs. ;)

For those of you who have downloaded this how did you manage to grab part 20? I have been able to get all of the other parts but for some reason part 20 will not download. dark_jedi has confirmed and is working on a solution.

Anyone with a bluray burner want to go in on some discs? I can print on discs if necessary.

Dlbsyst, I added all the links to JDownloader and they all downloaded just fine. Maybe the file got corrupted after that.
