I too plan on doing such an edit, but rather than through the eyes of Dante and Randal mine would be through the eyes of Jay & Bob. I am very interested to see how yours would turn out, but I would personally wait to see if they make another Clerks movie, it's only speculation but they might make it a trilogy!

Well as far as I'm concerned, this site is about people doing something about the things they don't like, no matter how miniscule or what way they go about doing it. It's also about people discussing what they don't like so that if another kind soul feels generous enough, they can fix it for that person.

If someone has a problem with the fact that we don't have the BEST quality possible anamorphic transfer of the original trilogy, then they talk about it or try to fix it. Whether it's petitioning Lucas to fix his DVD, fixing his DVD themselves, or making another LD transfer.

I'll tell you something I don't like: @$$holes like *Boris* detracting from the point of this site, and you can bet your @$$ that if I had moderator status I would have banned him simply for being stupid and detracting from the point of the site. But I don't have moderator status, so I leave it up to the moderators, hopefully one of them is kind-hearted enough, and as intolerant of people like this as I am, that they would not only ban him but crash his harddrive at the same time, once again for being stupid (and ofcourse detracting from the point of the site)!

See, my problem isn't with Lucas, it's with idiots like: *Boris*!

If your editing the .vob files then the same thing happened to me, you have to use dvdshrink to rip just the angle you want.

Ya, me too on the Pulp Fiction Chronological edit, I had some troubles with my harddrive, but it was kinda old, so i got a new one and all is well, i also forgot my myspleen password, so I created a new account with the same name I use here seeing as how it was diff. before and I want everything to be universal now. Anyway I need more things to download and seed to get my ratio up on this new name! Trust me Pulp Fiction is going to get a lot of seeding time by me, I can't wait till you get this up Rik!!!

Well I heard about the new 10th anniversary Mallrats extended edition on DVD and so I got the idea to do this (because i don't wanna wait a few more years for Smith to do it himself, seeing as how he gets a hardon for tenth anniversaries, kinda like lucas and the whole arm-cutting thing!!) and also to add in the 100mins of deleted scenes to Dogma thats on the special 2 disc version. I'll also be decolorizing/cropping and adding in the "Flying Car" short to the unrated version of clerks, when they are on their way to the funeral I think it will fit in quite nicely.

Though it may never happen, something I would also like to do is take all the jay and silent bob oncamera action ever filmed and put it into one huge epic, but ofcourse this can't happen untill Smith finishes making them all, you know I heard they had so much fun filming Clerks 2 they plan on making it a trilogy!?!?!? Then again this could all just be fanboy speculation posted and reposted until it was told as fact, but whatever, smith calls himself a sellout on a seemingly daily basis so i bet there will be plenty more jay and bob seeing as how its what the fans want!

First off I'm currently honing my skills on Vegas while I wait, for what you ask... Someone I know on here is getting the workprint of Jay and Bob which has a small bit not on the dvd, they too will be doing an extended cut but it won't be released, so you bet yer arse that when they get it I'm sending them the disc and postage so i can get it!!!

Then I'll do JayAndBob first followed by Dogma followed by Clerks, incidently does anyone know about any other footage that might not have been released for Dogma or Mallrats? I'd like to have such footage if it exists!

BTW, Where possible i intend to add bits of outtakes (jay showing his balls when he pulls down his pants) or alternate versions of addlibbed lines that I like better (the stationhouse line, etc.). I'm also learning the art of rotoscoping, so the scene where the Marshall is on the news (the blue screen version) can be completed with a background!

Also seeing as how this has been turned into a project that just needs updating and discussion, rather than me asking stupid questions, would any kind moderator be willing to please move this thread into the proper forum?

I am now indefinetly seeding "Return of the Ewok", "Building Empire", "Deleted Magic", and "The Story of Star Wars". And while the following aren't Star Wars torrents I figured I ought to make mention of them, I am indefinetly seeding "Wizard People, Dear Readers" and I will continue seeding "ADM's Harry Potter 4 - Extended Edition" untill I reach a ratio of 3, dual-layer dvds are hard for me to seed, because I recompress them to fit on a single layer, I don't like to waste hard drive space with the dual-layer files that I don't need. BTW I downloaded a plugin for Azureus to make things download faster which is semi-screwy and tends to not allow me to connect to people with certain bittorrent clients other than Azureus and a few others, but it works so sorry to all you who can't connect!

Edit: The "Wizard People, Dear Readers" is the original DVD release, not the newer one, thank you!

Because I don't waste money on consoles I've never had a problem updating my PC every other year with newer better hardware and have never had a problem playing any game on it. Not only do I use it for the latest greatest games in high-def on my bigscreen, just like a console, but I bought two playstation2 controllers and a single usb converter and I can use them to play any game that doesn't absolutely require a mouse. PCs are very versatile and adabtable, both the cell processor and blu-ray/hd-dvd drives will be improved upon and released for PCs and you can simply update those parts instead of having to buy an entirely new system, that's bleeding-edge technology!

The lotr movies were longer than Pirates and the amount of excitement in Pirates is equal to the amount of boredom served up by lotr, the stories are wonderful to be sure, but the movies just put me to sleep!

Well since this thread has sort of been on the topic of other movies and movie series I figured I'd put my 2cents in on those before I moved on to the main part of my post. BackToTheFuture: SuperGreat first movie, great sequels, all around good franchise as opposed to one good movie and then crappy sequels like the Matrix (<Movies? There was only one Matrix movie lol!) LOTR: There was only one "Return" and it was of the Jedi! lotr movies sucked and blew at the same time, books are another story. Titanic: Was a good movie, but received more attention simply becuz of the dude who plays this lesser famous "Jack-on-a-ship!"

Now Pirates: Great first film, I wish they would have done more to tie in the storyline of the first two movies, it's not just nowadays, it's always been this way with hollywood, they wait longer on the sequel because they don't know how good the first one is going to be, and because now everything must at least be a trilogy they try to save money by shooting one double-length sequel and splitting it up into two releases, so the story is too tight in the sequel(s) to be 2 films and they don't fit well enough with the first. But it does seem by now that they have perfected the art, it certainly left you wanting more, and it had a plot twist at the end that while it does not compare to The 6th Sense or anything it was rather unexpected, mind you it wasn't as good as the first one but was just as entertaining if not more so, and for most people (not like us) who watch movies for entertainment solely and not also as an art form, you at least have to give this movie it's due credit there. Also I was confused as f*** because I didn't see the scene at the end of the first movie so I didn't know the monkey was cursed again, I thought the writers screwed up, but then I realized I was the idiot. That's about it, go see it, it's a great film, or rather wait for the third then watch the second and third right together.

Btw, I'm sure most of you know about this but I think it does deserve a mention considering some things from the sequel, I'll explain below: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=11&threadid=5713 Spence has made a wonderful Black Pearl Extended Edition, in my opinion the studio really sucks at what they cut out simply for time purposes, the deleted scenes really give you a feel of Norrington as a more in-depth character and goes more into the Elizabeth/Jack relationship, these things sort of hit you out of nowhere in the sequel but wouldn't have been so bad had you gotten to see these few extra looks and hear these extra lines from these scenes!

Edit: Btw, about the length of the film, if the stuff they cut out is anything like the first then I wish they would have left it longer, it might have been long but it did not fail to entertain the entire time! I sit down and watch all six Star Wars movies in one sitting as though it were one movie (with the prequels drastically cut down, but the overall runtime still being long as hell) and seeing this makes me wish Hollywood would start making movies that long, so that for those of you who do have to pay to see movies will actually get your $ worth!

Well with the help of ReverendBeastly I'm now well on my way and understand what I need to do THANK YOU!

OK i'm an idiot I read ADM's guide and I now realize how to do the things I've been asking, but ofcourse this is all too complicated, isn't there one software program that will just take a dvd and take the main movie along with whatever deleted scenes you want and put them as video files and seperate audio files (for each channel) so that you can just cut and paste them to your hearts content without having to wait 20 years for it all to recode everything and lose a lot of precious quality in the process?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Oh and if this magic program could also convert letterboxed to anamorphic that would be grand seeing as the way I read is complicated and takes 20 years!

This link might be of interest, it's not retail but I know people who have bought from them before and the stuff actually was delivered so they don't just take your money and run, quality on most of there stuff is about the same as most downloads, so you could buy a copy and upload it, or try to touch it up some if it's that bad then upload it, but w/e just thought you all might like to see it!

Well if you buy a copy of the Mac OS then you could build a PC with an Intel or AMD based chip (has to be one that supports SSE2 or SSE3 insruction set) and use a fan edited (hacked) version of the Mac operating system. There is no law that says that to run a version of the Mac OS you have to run it exactly as they give it to you and only on hardware you buy from them, so this falls within the same legal grey (gray?) area as the fan edits that this site supports! This would save a truckload of money, but it's up to you! (Oh and if you are going to go this route be sure and get an ethernet card that the Mac OS supports already or that you can find custom drivers for online, it's a biotch to realize that all your hardware is compatible and everything works except yer friggin internet!)

And very sorry to thread jack but I have a question along the same lines: From what I know Mac writes to HFS and FAT32. Windows writes to NTFS and FAT32. But FAT32 doesn't allow files bigger than 4 gigs, which plenty of the videos I want to edit are. The only way I have found to edit one video using both Mac and Windows is to A) use FAT32 (which I can't do as stated above) or B) have two machines networked together and have the video in a shared folder on the Windows system then the Mac system will still somehow write to it.

Does anyone know how to edit the same file from a dual boot because I don't want to build another machine! By the way if anyone doesn't want to divert this thread any further they may email me at DarthBalls1138@gmail.com thanx!

Well if that's what it takes it's worth it, a bit more info on how would be nice though, I feel like I'm missing something because everything is soo slow moving, you'd have to be a saint to do things the way I am trying to...

I'm using womble, I took the .vob with all the deleted scenes and have split up each and every scene into seperate clips, that took flippin forever on it's own, mind you I have a life and to do this I went without sleep for a couple of days, but it was worth it I suppose since I'm so passionate about the project, I'll give away the secret as to what I'm trying to do just for the record, I'm trying to make an extended edition of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, anyway, now as far as I know I have to take the entire movie and cut out all of the overlapping bits leaving the whole movie as individual clips and then put all of those together in order with the deleted scenes mixed in the timeline then export the video, am I doing this right because it's pretty hard, slow moving, and annoying! Somebody please help me!

Well I feel even more retarded than usual, but it's no big blow to my pride, anyway I was testing out womble and importerd the SOJ teaser trailer (which looks awesome btw, I can't wait to see it!) that was just sitting on my desktop and I was (to my amazement) able to cut parts of it away and move them around and then resave it without having to recode it, only problem is I don't remember how I did it and am confused as crap about how to get this thing to work the exact way I want it to, but rest assured my project is very slowly coming along and when it's done it will be posted to a torrent site probably demonoid, but long before that happens I will continue posting to ask questions on how the hell to do the things I don't know how to do, thanx to everyone for all the help!

Actually here is the next ?, my deleted scenes are letterboxed, the main movie is anamorphic, I would prefer it if my finished product were anamorphic, remember I'm using womble and trying my hardest not to spend a lot of time reencoding the video, so does anyone know how I solve this little problem?

I work at a movie theater and could have saw the movie two days in advance but they wouldn't let my girlfriend come too so I said the hell with them, and we were supposed to dress up like Pirates for the premiere of the movie but once again I said screw you for the same reason, anyway onto the movie, I still haven't seen it yet which irks the heck out of me since I passed up such an opportunity, but I did love the first one and I have this uncanny ability to tell from the previews whether I or my friends will like a movie and from what I've seen in the previews I have a feeling that anyone who loved the first one will love the second even more, it'll still be another couple of days before I get to find out if I like it as much as I think I will tho, I'll post back then when I've seen it.

I tried searching through the forum using the search function but it came back with nothing for just ".vob" (minus quotes obviously) and I know that's a load of bull since I've seen ".vob" used here in this forum so I think the search function is broken!?!?!

Anyway all I want to do is add in the deleted scenes of a movie to create an extended edition, I already have everything ripped to my PC, I just wanna know what program would be the best for cutting the deleted scenes away from their introductions and joining them into the main movie where they are supposed to go, and I don't feel like doing a lot of video converting, so I know some applications can do this cutting/joining straight to the .vob files, I just don't know which applications, so it'd be great if someone could shed a little bit of light on the subject, thanks!

My suggestion: just wait and use the September release of the non-ANH DVD for the video source (but convert it to anamorphic) then add all of the different audio tracks you want to it, I'm sure a billion other people on this site are planning to do the exact same thing, hell I know I would but I'm a complete retard at this stuff (which is why I hold everyone who has done a preservation or edit in such high esteem) so I will just pick up one of those versions when they make there way to the torrent sites!
