Hi everyone,

I was directed to this forum by a friend and thought you might all be interested to check out our site as it relates directly to what this thread is attempting to produce ;)

 

We have been up and running since 2004 with a pretty comprehensive collection here. Would love some feedback from you guys so please let us know what you think.

 

Best regards,

 

Craig

Hey Moth3r, Why do you have to be such a fucking cunt all the time? I'm sick of your shit, he just wants to share something on the forum and I for one want to see what it is. You can ban this account if you want, I just created it so I could comment what I really felt without retribution... You really are a complete and total wanker. Lots of love, Uncle J.

:: For those interested, it was a site selling discs by babyhum, Rikter, DrGonzo etc.. for £8 a DVD.

And if you're sick of my shit, a PM to Jay would be more appropriate.

Rest of the backlash has been removed, normal service to be resumed...

As much as I like the SW docos, I think i'd be more interested in a master documentary with all of the footage from various sources in order of the film.  Yeah, kind of like Deleted Magic, but dealing only with documentary footage.  My dream version would have at least 3 audio tracks.  1 track with just the production audio, the second with the documentary narrator and maybe a third with a crew audio commentary.

Heh, heh, eight pounds a disc, that is nuts. Sorry some people get gypt into paying that. Claimed he'd been doing it since 04, hopefully they get nailed for it. Ironic these guys were trying to sell our own stuff back to us :).

Well scams aside was browsing the thread and thought I'd help and add a few things to the list.

 

G4's Coverage of Star Wars Celebration 4

G4's Coverage of Star Wars Japan

I have the former as an AVI rip. If anyone has the Japan special I'd love to get a copy.

 

Also check out Demonoid there have been a lot of Star Wars specials/docs poping up in AVI format of late. One being the Time and Again special mentioned in the thread.

Updated the FLIMSIPLAST DATABASE list, and for those into lists have added three others documents for material which inspired Star Wars and lists for television or movies which reference Star Wars.

On the Science Channel, there's a program called 'Science of Movies' in the first episode they interview John Dykstra about motion control camera technology.

unfortuantely they show Special Edition footage when talking about the camera work...

You have to be kidding me.  Were they forbidden to show the original footage or has Lucas tracked down and destroyed all remaining copies or has some legal clause that stipulates only the special edition can be shown.

I cannot publicly comment on Lucas, but any other director who is not as popular and a fan favorite as he is did this and they would be seen as a complete and total wanker and douchebag.

How does everyone sort/file/archive their material?

Do you break down things by file type (for instance maybe major folder divisions for DVDs, Pics, Texts, Sounds, Mixed Media) or do people primarily break down their files by associated Film or time period?

Anyone know any programs which can compare folders to find duplicates?

Can someone please find colon close parenthesis and punch them in the interrobang.  Oh Google.ca will do what I want, i've always used Google.com.  Boy do I look foolish now.  I was asking for experience from this users in this forum.  For I forsee a day (last week actually) where people interested would move HD's full of info, not just a trrnt or two.  But to plow through that info, tools are necessary.  But I abused yr suggestion (using a search term i can up with all by myself! wheee) http://www.easyduplicatefinder.com/  or  http://www.soft32.com/download_205418.html

I knew you could do it! :)

Now, write a 10 page report on the pro's and con's of the two programs. :)

I like to sort everything chronologically wherever possible.  I'm obsessive about dates.

Generally, I have a "Star Wars" folder that contains text, pics, etc. and a separate "Movies" folder that is all genres of video material, sorted into subject folders.  Under the "Star Wars" subject video folder, I've got separate folders for things like:

- Commercials
- Fan Films
- Fan Edits and Preservations
- Trailers
- TV Specials
- TV Spoofs and Fan Spoofs

Then under those, I try to create folders by date.  For instance, under TV Specials the folder would be named in this format:

(1980) Star Wars - Music By John Williams [BBC]

(Year {month}-{day}) Title of feature [Broadcast network] 

If I knew the exact broadcast date, it would be something like (1980 05-25) followed by the title.  If I don't know the date, but I want to sort further because I know a particular item came before another one, it would be something like (1980-1), followed by (1980-2), (1980-3) and so on.

Under that will be the file(s), in whatever format they are in.  I don't keep that many DVD format items on my hard drive due to space reasons, so I try to make hard copies of all that material.

This works with the way XP sorts by default, and allows it handle the sorting for me automatically.

  I'm very interested on getting the English subtitles of the documentary "From Star Wars to Jedi". Is there any chance to get them directly from the LaserDisc?

No American release would have subtitles to begin with.

The VHS version would probably have closed captioning. (FSWTJ was never released on LD in the states.)

A DVD capture can preserve the captions signal, but captioning doesn't pass through HDMI connections. They really screwed the pooch on that.

Blu-rays didn’t exist in 2005. Well, they did, but barely. You get the point. But thanks for bumping this thread 5 years later for no reason.
