Oh man, that sounds awesome! I was just thinking somebody should do that. I really look forward to it.

DTS and DVD Lab Pro

Thanks guys, it turns out that DVD Lab Pro will only detect the DTS file if I select the option to join first and then demux instead of the other way around (which was the recommended option, go figure). However, this didn't work all that well, so I ended up demuxing with VOBedit and making the dvd with IFOedit. Aside from some subtitle issues, I pretty much have the thing working.

Hi everyone, I have yet another question.
I ripped a DVD to my hard drive that contains DTS and Dolby 2.0 audio. I have tried to make a new DVD by using DVD Lab Pro, but for some reason, it will not detect the DTS sound, only the 2.0 audio. According to the DVD Lab Pro help file, it does allow DTS. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this isn't working? Thank you.

First Ever Laserdisc Capture

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Yes, I am intending this to be playable in a dvd player.
I am somewhat familiar with using TMPGEnc to convert files into dvd compliant (mpeg2, ac3 audio, etc.)
However, I am uncertain of two things:

1) What is the best way to ensure I am capturing PCM audio from the laserdisc? Since it has an audio and a digital track, which one do I need to be capturing?
2) When the whole file is captured and on my hard drive, what would be the best method of "shrinking" the 20gb file down to 4.5gb without it looking too crappy?

Or am I going about this laserdisc capture thing the wrong way?

First Ever Laserdisc Capture

Hi everyone,
I was contemplating doing my first ever laserdisc to hard-drive capture (and eventually to dvd). I've got access to a decent player and I have an ATI video card in my computer with an S-video input as well as composite for audio. My question to you guys who have experience is: What else do I need? Special software you recommend? Any vital component I need to improve quality? Lastly, about how much HD space do I need? I am planning to capture 30 minute TV episodes, so can anyone give me an estimate on how much space that will take? I looked around for guides on the internet but didn't come across anything that specifically answered the questions I had.
Thanks in advance!

Heat: The Action Edit (Released)

Hey Yoshimi,

I just watched your Heat fan edit and I have one question and a few comments for you. First off, what was your source material? The picture looks a little grainy and soft and the audio is Dolby Stereo. It seems to me you took this from the laserdisc or non-special-edition DVD. Am I right? Just curious. Second, I think you did a phenomenal job on the editing. The edits are seemless and well chosen. I couldn't even tell that Pacino's character's home life was removed, it is as if those scenes never existed. Truly, this sped up the pacing and enjoyment of the film. Bravo on a job well done.

While Heat is a well made movie it is by no means a flawless film requiring no edits. I'm glad you took it upon yourself to edit out most of the garbage. The remaining garbage was stuff you couldn't edit out, like Pacino's ridiculous, over the top, corny acting (normally I love him I just think he did a terrible job here), or like the idiotic notion that a high-class professional criminal like DeNiro's character would risk everything for petty revenge. I could never understand why this film is so revered by some people when for the most part it is long and boring and only has one mediocre action sequence. I'm sure I'll take some flak for those statements

Anyway, my point is don't let the negative comments get you down. You did an excellent job and accomplished what you set out to do, which was make a more action-oriented, faster-paced film. As long as you are happy with your edit, that is all that really matters.

Here are some screen shots of the menus on the DVD. Keep in mind that they will have music, and multiple pages, so not all the features are shown in the included screencaps. I went with static menus instead of full motion in order to squeeze more stuff onto this disc. Also, I chose this artwork because it looks "rougher" and not as polished, to go along with a theme of special features. I never did end up tracking down any subtitles for the Genesis 0:0 documentaries, so I guess I won't be including them. If I ever do find them someday, I will redo the DVD to include them.

UPDATE:

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates lately but I had a hell of a last couple of weeks with my many med school exams, and then I got a well-deserved week off for spring break. Now I'm back to school and proud to report the progress of the special features DVD. Right now the project is about 90% completed.

The menu screens are finished and looking very nice. I forgot to tell one of the submenus to not return to the root menu after every file was played, but that is easily fixed. A few of the files that were supposed to be in widescreen were in fullscreen so I need to go back through and re-encode those. A couple also has some staticky audio, and I am unsure what to do about that. Does anyone have any suggestions?

There are roughly 2 hours of Evangelion goodness on this DVD, more than enough to satisfy Evangelion newbies and veterans. In fact, going through the first QC check I started to get a little tired of watching it since there is so much material on this disc! I will let you all know when I finish it. I can put up screen caps of the menus if anyone is interested. Also, I may be planning a bigger Evangelion project in the future so I will keep you apprised on that as well.

The project has kind of stalled. The main problem is this lack of subtitles (of any kind) for the renewal bonus disc. I contacted Karyudo to see if he could help. He said he thought his Japanese wasn't good enough to do a decent translation so he is attempting to find someone who is more fluent to help translate.

Magnet, didn't you say something about an Italian subtitled version of the renewal bonus disc? If you have this I would kill for a copy of it. I think I might be able to manage an Italian to English translation.

I have a copy of this as well, and was originally planning on including it. The quality, as you know, is quite poor and the Redux version would be a much better choice, but this version is not obtainable. Also, the creators, Studio Sudokai, for some unimaginable reason do not want their materials distributed via the internet. They only want it shown at anime conventions. Personally, I think this is a stupid ego-trip on their part, but I will respect their wishes and not include it on the dvd. Unless of course, someone can get the OK from them to use Redux and get a copy, that is.

Believe me when I tell you that I would love to include all the Evangelion extras ever made on a single special features DVD. Unfortunately, with the plethora of stuff out there, it would be totally impossible. One particular fan told me that he currently has 12 gigabytes of extras. Clearly, if those were converted to a DVD format they would comprise a great many DVDs. My plan to is make a compilation of the best of the best stuff. Here's a rundown.

Part One: Music Videos (fan made)
-- faithless
-- engel
-- rei, beyond her heart
-- i can feel you
-- closer to god 2
-- evangelion opus
Part Two: Gainax Omake
-- extended opening
-- extended closing
-- opening sequence karaoke
-- subtitled version of the radio drama which takes place after EoE (its a comedy thing)
-- subtitled version of the alternate live action sequence meant for EoE
-- Evangelion 2 video game opening
-- both Genesis 0:0 documentaries (this is what i need the subtitles for)
Part Three: Ad Campaign
-- 15 second EoE commercial with crashing waves
-- 15 second EoE commercial with creepy giggling
-- fan made EoE trailer
-- U.S. evangelion tv series preview
-- 15 second Japanese evangelion series premiere commercial
-- 30 second Japanese evangelion series premiere commercial
-- Raising Shinji Ikari video game commercial
-- evangelion New Type commercial
Part Four: Parodies
-- amv hell 2: son of amv hell
-- eva bebop
-- eva mentos
-- gendo son of god
-- the life that is misato
-- nerv evening news
-- i think i'm a clone now
-- symbolic love story
-- spike spencer end of series outtakes with video

As you can see, pretty much the entire Renewal Bonus Disc is included on my special features DVD, along with a bunch of other cool stuff. So even though this doesn't come close to the 12 gigs of extra stuff available out there, this should make a fine companion piece to anyone's Evangelion collection. I pretty much have everything I need for this DVD to happen, I just need those dang subtitles for the two Genesis 0:0 documentaries. If anyone is a member of scriptclub could you go ahead and check to see if they are available? I'd appreciate it.
