...I've known this forum to be very helpful when it comes to technical matters and I'm disappointed that the above users would tell you that DVD and Blu-ray are the same size on purpose just to fuck with you. I expected better from them.


Let's do a quick size comparison:
http://i.imgur.com/uJitcH7.png
As you can see, the Blu-ray on the left is MUCH larger than the DVD on the right. This is because the Blu-ray's total data capacity is nearly 6 times as large as DVDs. Not only that, but the center hole is much larger than the DVD as well, so if you try to put a DVD in a Blu-ray case you won't be able to fit it on the little center spool thing.

For those without a sense of humor or irony, the disc on the left is a laserdisc. Disney doesn't even use that logo anymore for its video releases.

Blu-ray cases are a little hard to come by on their own, so what you need to do is PM TV's Frink and if he still has any in stock he'll hook you up.

Don't do that. He will mock you relentlessly for being so gullable.

Does the app involve circumventing DRM? That could be one reason why the authors are offended....

....either that or they are offended that somebody would want to read their work without the hentai tentacle pedophile who eats babies while painting its house with the blood of their mothers and who only appears for shock value in a story that should have been for young kids....

....why am I thinking about such vulgarity?

edit: Seriously though, the main reason is probably because they are protective of their work and don't want it to be disassembled from drm.

Random Thoughts
Time

For some of you this may come as a shock, others might have guessed this and will be thinking "I KNEW IT!" when they hear this, and other still might think I'm lying to excuse my more outrageous behavior, but what I am about to say is true.

I also have autism. I have been diagnosed with autism at an early age. I find it very difficult to make friends in real life, am an adult picky eater, get overwhelmed by certain sensory input (certain noises, like one persons voice or people clapping their hands to a song with loud speaker going off, hurt my ears or drive me nuts), get really attached to certain interests and take a strong interest in learning about them, etc. Occasionally, change bothers me as well. If its a change that I know in advance, like school delays or spring break, the change won't bother me. If it happens suddenly, I have trouble handling it.

Like DrCrow, I have trouble communicating at times. By that I don't mean that I can't talk, but I do have trouble explaining myself. Sometimes I feel like this is my biggest weakness. On the other side of the coin, sometimes I can't tell if people are being serious or sarcastic, which may make me easier to fool than other people if I am not knowledgeable about a thing. Ironically, sometimes I worry that in an emergency, I will refuse to do something unless I know why I should do it, like I'm worried that I would make the wrong decision because I never got the chance to think about what I am going to do.

As you have probably guessed, my life has been a struggle. I had to have occupational and physical therapy when I was 6 or 7, and unlike many other kids, never spoke much before then. I was constantly bullied for my behavior, especially in daycare (which to this day I hate with a passion don't like thinking about). Despite all the negative experiences in my life, I have tried to at least have one. As I slowly get mature each year, I hope one day to control angry impulses so I can drive (well that and not always being aware of my surroundings; not even having a permit at my age is embarrassing, admittedly.), along with learning how to be more active in social interaction. For now, I wait.....

edit: Frink, I didn't see your post until after I posted mine. I didn't know you were a father, let alone a father of a child with aspergers. I hope she is doing well.

Hollywood messed up ... 'Star Wars' with J.J. ...

How can you say a movie is horrible when the general public hasn't seen it yet? I'm sure somebody is going to ask for your stolen workprint to be leaked so we can all see how bad the film is.

I know this is a stupid question and I have done this before but it was so long ago I completely forget how.

I need to wipe my hard drive and do a completely fresh install of Windows 7 but I can't remember how to do that.

I tried asking microsoft but they will only tell me how to create a partition on my hard drive and install Windows 7 a second time and that is not what I need to do.

To fix this problem it looks like I need a completely fresh install.

Sorry this is such a stupid question and thank you for your help and time.

 What are your resources? Recovery partition? Windows 7 full dvd/cd? Windows 7 upgrade dvd/cd? At the very least, do you have your product key?

 Would it be possible for someone to make this box for me or anyone that can't do such things? Please LMK.

 Likewise. I would also really appreciate it if someone could help make this up for me. I'd gladly pay for the costs to cover it. I have no blu ray burner of my own and my local print services are very fussy over copyright shit.

 I would also like to request help in acquiring this packaging and possible burned bluray discs. I am willing to pay whatever costs and I will even send you blank blurays to replace the ones you burn for me.

My step dad's birthday is coming up in a little over a month. We just had a lengthy discussion about the subject of film alteration. His all time favorite films are Star Wars and The Warriors. Both of these movies have been trashed by horrible special edition style altering. He doesn't even know about the fan edit and preservation community. Getting something like this would truly make his day. It would really blow his mind. I would love to share something like this with him. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. 

Once again, just quoting this image for anyone who missed it the first  several times on this page.

edit: Maybe posting the bunny in a moderated isn't the best idea. Cut size in half. Still, I wanted to get an excuse to do it since months ago ;)

Do you think Disney will release the unaltered versions for DVD and blue ray?

The convention in Anaheim is just a few weeks away. There will doubtlessly be a lot of people there wondering the same thing we are. Disney/Lucasfilm can't expect it to go by without at least saying something about it. It's been almost two and a half years since the buyout and they haven't said a word. The elephant in the room has become too big to ignore.

This is why i think that we'll get some sort of quality presentation of the OOT on blu ray, maybe not a restoration on the same scale as 1997, but at least a transfer on par with most acceptable blu rays released today.

 In other words, a fresh transfer...by Lowry.

Video Games - a general discussion thread

I admit, video game hacks and cheat codes are fun.

However, some times crazy things are more impressive when they don't use traditional hacking or cheat codes. Case in point, (an admittingly glitchy version of) the original Super Mario Bros (with 8-bit graphics but Super Mario All Stars sound) in Super Mario World.

I assure you that this is real. If you have lsnes, an ordinary US SMW rom and this lsmv file, and stop it right after the smw portion ends, you could play it yourself.

edit: The same trick done on real hardware here.

Quick update from kk over at tehparadox:

After Interstellar my next release will be The Empire Striked Back Semi-Specialised Edition V2.2 16gb version and soon after the Return of the Jedi Semi-Specialised Edition V2.2 15gb version so no worries, I definately intend to release them. After this release they are my top priority.
