Hey, after the crap Zod pulled, I'm thinking these illegal aliens may be VERY dangerous! For every Kal-El who wants to fight for "Truth, Justice and all that stuff" you get three Kryptonian Kriminals who want to rule the world.

We need a bigger interplanetary fence made out of Kryptonite.

How do you make good titles for a movie?
Time
Well, it's important to balance your desire with your willingness to learn the tools at hand. Buttering up your technically-versed friends is helpful too. Darth Editous and MeBeJedi have always been helpful in areas where I just plain suck. Still, if you're wanting to do professional titles, and After Effects is the recommended tool, it's best to experiment with the tool to get the effect you want. Then you have another skill under your belt, the titles you wanted, and the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself.

The Most Boring Commentator Ever
Time
Don't the SW commentaries just edit together snippets of interviews about certain key scenes when they're happening? i.e. Aren't they pseudo-commentaries, not taken from the participants as they watch the films? I could be wrong, but I always thought this was the case.

Kevin Smith ... now THAT is a guy who knows how to do a commentary track. He and his pals in a room talking frankly and cracking wise ... its almost like MST3K.

Nice. So does this mean it'll be a NTSC release and not a PAL release? Rik, is the PAL release from Australia time-compressed? And if so, does the KCOP have the correct running time?


Yes, it's sped up.

Looking forward to this.


Which is sped up? PAL? KCOP?

<strong>The &quot;ADigitalMan Special Editions&quot; DVD Info and Feedback Thread</strong> (Released)
Time
Any DVD-ROM folder has been added since I authored each disc, so I can't speak for those.

As for verifications that are failing, that has been noted by others from time to time. Not quite sure how to verify them against each other except ... perhaps if you rip to your drive and then torrent it against what's up at MySpleen, it'll compare your copy to the source and likely correct/add any packets that are needed.

Thank you for the links, but those threads still don't announce wether or not anyone will actually pursue making them anamorphic when they come out. Is anyone thinking of attempting to?
Yeah, I probably will, and I'm sure many others will convert their copies too.

But note: converting a retail DVD from letterboxed to anamorphic does not come under the umbrella of "preservation" or "fan editing". Although Jay, Zion and I are still discussing changes to the site rules, it is likely that discussions about how to customize your own DVDs will be allowed, but discussions about distribution (torrents, etc.) of such DVDs won't be.


I like this approach. I even support making the optional audio tracks available with instructions on how to mux them into your official DVD. It would be nice if the PCM audio, the mono mix, the music-only mix and any LD commentaries were preserved and made available, synched to the length of the official disc, and a thread with how to DIY could tell everybody what they can do if they are so inclined.

Power to the masses!
