As far as I know DVDSubEdit can only change individual timings. I don't recall ever seeing an overarching retime all subs feature.

I tried demuxing, retiming the subs in vobsub, and remuxing, but something weird is going on there. Not only were the subs out of sync, but the audio was as well afterwards.

I'll may give it another try tomorrow, but it sounds like JoeyO is on it.

sp1 files are subtitle files built for DVDLab.
DVDLab takes a text based sub file and then generates a precompiled graphic subpicture type file thingey (sp1, sp2, sp3, etc.)

I don't know of anything that works with sp# files, you'd need the original subrip/text based subs to retime.

I'm sure opensubtitles.org or subscene should have something you can use if you don't have the raw file.

That would depend on the format your subtitles are in.

If you were working with .srt or some form of text subs, Subtitle Workshop is my preferred tool.

If you are going to rip the subpictures and retime them still as a graphic format, VobSub Cutter has the ability to retime based on standard frame rates.

I don't know whether it'd be better for JoeyO to fix and repost a v2 or for me to put up some fix files and instructions on how to repair the disc.

I think the important question is, what was the source for the subtitles?

I think they're most likely from something PAL.
If so they need to be retimed from 25 fps to 23.976 fps or you can't sync them with an offset.

There's software that quickly and easily does that if it is the case.

Just randomly checking around, the subtitles look a lot more messed up than a few seconds off.

Title pretty much says it all.

When I try to delete a private message I get an error page.
If I go back to my inbox and check it, the message has indeed been removed though.

If you need software for editing/resizing/convert to jpeg, get Gimp. It's free.

On mediafire if you are in "Extended Sharing Mode" you can get 1 link for an entire folder.

So just upload the parts, move them to a folder with a name of your choice and click share (on the folder) to get the link. Rapidshare requires separate links for every file part which is a pain.

And yes, people will have to contact you for further information when it's ready.

Demonoid's tracker is up and down. Mostly down in my experience, but if you can find the .torrent file it'll operate in DHT (trackerless mode) when it's down.

I see BTJunkie lists both TESB and ROTJ. They claim there's a seed, but I suspect that's since it's last scrape.

Now you just need someone willing to grab it and seed...

Yeah, that sort of died with Demonoid.
I really don't have the bandwidth to help.

Is there still the sort of interest to warrant a re-seed?

As long as we're asking for more for the avatars, I wouldn't mind animated gif files too.

One request. I noticed the email notifications don't have the topics in the subject line any more.
Sort of makes things difficult if you are subscribed to a couple busy ones.

I went back to the old site to get my old PMs...
Has the export PM button always been there?

That's the first I've seen it. :O

It's all so.... white here.

Glad to hear it JoeyO. I think most people wouldn't mind having the movie and waiting for disc two.

The Pirate Bay or MiniNova are good places for a torrent.
If you'd rather do the direct download sort of thing (like RapidShare), I'm a big fan of MediaFire.com which lets you have an account for free.
For that you'd need to .rar and split the file into 100mb parts, but it's a nice alternative.

Still haven't picked up the new Life of Brian DVDs.

The reviews are pretty vague and none compare to prior releases.

That said, the important bit is that one reviewer described the deleted scenes as in "fairly ragged" condition.
Probably not worth a re-edit then.

For anyone still reading this thread:
I've been waiting a good long time on someone who has promised me a DVD cap of the Canadian broadcast.
Who knows how that'll turn out?

In the mean time for anyone interested, Mininova now lists 2 different torrents of the movie-pilot (one is about full resolution).
Search 'Dresden pilot'. (Yes I know technically it isn't the pilot, but what else should they call it?)

There's slow and then there's SLOW.

I just checked the files on my drive and noticed they are dated nearly a year ago (ok next week is 1 year).

Since this group effort idea has gone quite wrong, are there any objections to a menu-less, movie only release?

If nothing else I'd love to get the files off my hard drive once and for all.

How will this compare to the 'other' hybrid edit of BR edit in the works? (Details on the other fan edit site.)

With the anamorphic talk going on it got me thinking.

I know that combining different LD sources you are recovering detail 'lost' between the scan lines.
It SOUNDS like you all need more than 360 lines of resolution to hold this video information.

Are you guys doing your clean up and restoration at 480p or are you planning to upscale when you are finished?
