Beavis and Butt-head: Not the Mike Judge Collection (need bonus discs!)

Any more details on this? A google search only brings up torrent sites.


Yeah, it's a collection compiled, created & uploaded by members of Demonoid. There's disc and cover art complete with spanning spines and it looks totally awesome. I had eight of the sixteen discs, but the drive I was downloading them to crapped out the other night, so I've gotta download them all again.

You've in the UK right, Mario? If so, I'll make copies of the discs and send them to you if you want. It might take me a while, I was averaging one disc every two days. But I'll let you know when I have them.


Edit: Actually, after reading your profile, I see you're not in the UK. Still though if you're willing to cover costs for all postage and discs, I'll send them to you once I have them.

Creating covers for thinpaks... How?

Dude, it doesn't cost that much to buy credits at a pay site really. $30 @ Replace the Case will give you unlimited downloads for a whole year. You can download high quality customs and convert them to thinpak or ask the artist if they might do it for you. Some are pretty friendly and accomidating. For a limited time @ R1DB $28 will get you 400 credits. There's a heck of a lot of thinpaks and scans there to keep you occupied. Just think of it as a conversion expence.


I have already paid up for Generetic. So I got the bulk of the thinpaks I need from there, but thanks for the info.

So, I was wondering would it be at all possible to:
1). Scan in the covers that I already have and edit the size of the spine? Or
2). Run the scanned covers through a program like CoverXP and resize the regular cover to fit the thinpak, again only shrinking the spine and leaving the back & front detail intact?

Are either of these possible? I hope I'm making sense with all this.

Thanks in advance (I just hope someone knows what I'm on about and can help me).



Um....wouldn't it be easier AND cheaper to just buy a new shelf? That's a shitload of stuff to do right there. You could also sell some of the DVD's you don't watch on eBay, and get some quick cash, or better yet, take a big CD case, and put all your DVD's in there, then putting the cases in large boxes and those boxes in a storage area, such as your basement. Those CD cases cost little compared to a new shelf or the shear amount of ink you'd need to print all these new covers and purchase all the slim packs.


I have no more shelf space. I currently have one alcove filled from top to bottom with ten, four foot shelves. So buying more really isn't an option unfortunately. I have stripped out the discs I don't want, but now that itself is rather difficult too as I can't think of anymore that I don't want. I considered also putting the discs in one big case, but I'm a geek and like them on show. Ink really doesn't cost much. I have the Canon IP4000 and while it takes six cartridges I can get those for really cheap.. Paper is also cheap too. Slimline cases I can get 200 for £17.99 inc. delivery, with further discounts if I need a larger size.

Trust me, I've weighed up each thing you've pointed out, and slimlines for me are the way to go. Although, the huge DVD case is still rather appealing.

Thanks for the Undercover XP tip, but it stretches & disorts the spine quite considerably.

Anyhow I joined a coversite and have downloaded a bunch of thinpak covers, but it looks like I'll have to edit the others I can't find from regular scans.

Still, might be cheaper to buy a new shelf than to reprint all them covers.


Where can I get a template for a thinpak cover? I've had no luck so far

Would you mind talking me me through this, as I'm not too clued up on Photoshop.

Thanks for your time.

Active X add on pop up?
Time

Sorry, didn't know where else to put this, but I came on here just now for the first time today and get the yellow pop up bar at thne top of my screen that says "This website wants to run the following add on: "SVGControl Module 2.0" from 'Adobe Systems Incorporated (unverified publisher)'. If you trust the website and the add on and want it to run, click here..."

It only appears on this site, so what is it?

Info & Help Wanted: [<( The Star Wars Trailers Project )>]
Time
I have a few trailers that you might be interested in for use as easter eggs or some such as they all seem to be fan edits.

The two South Park parody traliers for TPM.
A trailer advertising the six movie boxset using footage from the first five movies.
A sepia coloured trailer (in the style of the B-movies from days gone by) titled: Benjamin Kenobi - Space Knight. (This one is actually really cool)

Let me know if you want them and I'll upload them.

Pride and joy of the collection



Holy shit. I own the UK BFI release, which is the next best version to the Criterion. It's a pretty shite movie, but I'm 95% certain that the Criterion release is the rarest DVD in the world.



Fancy selling it?

Time
To the original poster: A DVD you've downloaded doesn't make it rare, regardless of how nice it looks.

On topic: My rarest DVDs are probably the three Lord of The Rings giftsets, A Better Tomorrow Trilogy limited edition set or my Die Hard Trilogy Five Star Region 1 set.


Edit: Actually my rarest DVD is the out of print, Region 2 original pressing of True Lies. The original release used the uncut master by mistake, this was quickly recalled once the error had been realised, and was replaced with the UK cut version. I managed to pick up the uncut version from eBay for about £6.00.

The Phantom of the Opera Resynched (Released)
Time
By the way... My Gran loved this. She's a big fan of Michael Crawford, and has said many times that no one matches him in Phantom... So she was very surprised and happy.

Quality is very good from what I saw, not that I watched very much at all. I'm sure that those people in this thread that have picked up on errors, won't bother the intended target here.

Thanks again.

P.S. DVD cover & disc art would be a huge bonus *hint hint*

I can't find it either. Would someone be able to post a link?

Thanks


You're not allowed to post links to torrents. Here's a step by step guide to finding it though:

1). Go to: thepiratebay.org
2). Check the video box on the front page (and make sure that's the only box checked)
3). In the search box type in Phantom of The Opera
4). Click Pirate Search
5). On the next page that loads the first two listings should be the file you're after (both have Re-synched in the title). One is a DVD disc image and the other is a DivX Avi encode. Decide which one you want and download it.

Jesus, that's nearly as bad as someone saying "How do I use Google?"
