Thanks for the link. So the 2.5 seconds prior to the multi angle part must also obey the multi angle bitrate limitation. I think that could be the problem because the rest of the movie is encoded at much higher bitrates. This multi angle thing starts to get nasty...

Oh, I'm doing the edit, no doubt about it. I want it for my personal use. Just wanted to see if it was worth sharing.

I used CCE SP v2.70. I selected the multi angle option with a maximum bitrate of 4100 (so 2 angles; 2 x 4100 + 1536 = 9736, shouldn't be too high). I tested the multi angle option in DVDMaestro (v2.9) with just the multi angle scenes + audio and there was no problem, it compiled ok, I burned it to dvd and it played fine. But when I try to compile the entire dvd I get an error about an VOBU exceeding the max bitrate of 8000. But I'm not sure if the program means 8000 with or without audio. But since the test with only the multi angle scenes went fine I don't know what all the trouble is about.

Oh, I was doing an edit of the Star Wars. I use the DC/Faces audio as a base and the 2004 dvd for video. So basically I cut the 2004 video to match the '77 theatrical and use the PCM audio from Belbucus. I wanted 2 versions of star wars on 1 dvd. Version one being all 2004 footage, version 2 with some '77 elements like the original crawl, Ben's house and wolfman using multi angles. I called it special definitive collection, SDC, since it's a hybrid + I thought it sounds cool.
There are so many edits, I thought everyone was already "edit tired" but I thought I could try and see if anyone was interested anyway. But since no one was I edited my original post

But now I had a problem authoring the dvd. I had everything encoded, all the multi angles and stuff but when I try to compile DVDMaestro starts bitching about the maximum bitrate being exceeded. But that's impossible...

Tell your dad that forbidding you to see chick's pics on Star Wars forums will turn you into a "dirty homo". Put some red lipstick and cry while you say that. I strongly belive he'll be allowing you to post here after that.

Yes, modifying a semi-auto can easily turn it into an auto, but that is illegal and people without the legal permission should be arrested for it.

Yes, but I just wanted to say it was very likely the person Ricarleite was talking about had a machine/auto gun.

Heh! First I bought the european version. Later I found out there was a director's cut. So I sold my dvd and bought the ultimate edition (theatrical + director's cut) on ebay. Then I found out the european cut was a unique cut so I bought it again. But I didn't know there's an NTSC version of the european cut. Which makes it much easier to do the 125 min director's cut. So I hope someone will recreate this version.

Is "machine gun" the same as "full auto"? Because it's not too hard to modify your semi-automatic m16 and turn it into a full automatic weapon.

Why is it so bizarre? It has nothing to do with agression or violence. I hate all the war and violence that's going on in the world but I love weapons. But just for recreational (is that a correct word?) use.

OK. I thought because you have a PAL DV tape you probably filmed it yourself with a PAL camcorder.

PAL DV is about 13 GB per hour.
Does it make a difference if you have type 1 or type 2 avi?

So you want the (edited) avi on dvdrs? You won't be able to play it in a standalone dvd player.

I guess you camcorder has a digital connection? Do you have a firewire card in your PC? If not, they are very cheap and it's well woth buying one. It's very easy to capture the DV avi yourself with WinDV.

It's a shotgun but I don't know what gage

(it's not my gun, I don't own any).

Bad_karma, the M1 Garand, is that the rifle that throws out the clip when the last round is fired?

One of the very few pictures of me shooting. This was during a holiday in Norway in 2002. The gun is a Beretta (but I have no idea what type). I was shooting at clay discs.

About the bidet, when reading this thread it appears in Europe we all have one. That is not the case. A bidet here is just as rare as it is in the US. Only once have I seen one. I know no one who has one.

I'm from Holland and it's pretty difficult to (legally) own a gun here, it's all very restricted. But I just love guns

Not to shoot animals (or any other breathing organism) but just targets.
When you saw the name of the thread and the name of the creator you probably thought I was going to criticize the US. Not gonna happen.

So if you have a gun (or guns), I'm interested in the technical details (and a picture would be nice).

If future generations end up watching it on a 16:9 display, Greedo's subtitles will be cut off because the disc is non-anamorphic. Did you ever consider that?

Not necessarily. They can be squeezed to fit the image. Nevertheles, this version sucks!

I know the discussions we had in the Politics thread but I'm just curious how the US can afford to spent these amounts of money. It must be a real burden on the country. It's all money you can't spent on roads, education, healthcare, police etc etc. It's all tax money I guess? So that tax money would otherwise be spent on different things. So what is getting cut back?

In 2007 Washington will have spent well over 500 billion dollars on the war on terror.

I really don't understand how the US can afford this. Where is all this money coming from? If they wouldn't have spent it on the war on terror where would the money have gone?

Is it worth spending this kind of money on the war on terror? I mean, is it helping? I don't feel like the threats are less then they were 5, 6 years ago.
