The funny thing is most of what I remember as being in the ABC edit and not in yours really are in your edit.
I was curious with Rikter's disc being widely available now are you considering a newer version of HP1 & 2, shuffling scenes that you have in a different order to better match the director's cut?

We got big thread power.
Um, on second thought that needs no comment.

We can just cross-post these torrents on MiniNova or TPB if people just don't want to deal with Demonoid. Not much extra effort really.

Btw, in regards to some of the other discussions: sure there are many good ac3 encoder that can turn 2 channel stereo to ac3 2.0, but the point of programs like ac3filter (maybe) and ffdshow is to upmix to 5.1 at the same time. They do this by real-time encoding SPDIF output and passing it to a file (with graphedit). I DID manage in my attempts to get ac3filter to pass 5.1 PCM audio to a file, but the ac3 encoder just wouldn't work right for me. (You should be able to do the same with ffdshow). From there you could take it to whatever high quality ac3 encoder you'd like and you don't have to settle for lower quality from a faster encoding. It increases the steps but gives you the best of both worlds.
Anyway you are expanding the sound fields and providing discrete channels rather than just compressing a matrixed surround. And by using something like DPL2 to provide the upmix you are improving the quality of the surround for people with non-DPL2 surround systems. You can even tweak the matrix yourself.
Sure I sound like a convert, but the fact is still that I used 2-channel PCM on my releases. Mind you 5.1 PCM is available on HD systems.

BD & HD DVD OT in AVC with PCM 5.1! Can you feel it? (And can you understand my abbreviations?)

I'll have to get back to you on that one.
Edit: Nope it just won't work for me now. I wish I could remember what version I was using. Anyway, Doom9's guide is still out of date since ffdshow is able to directly encode ac3 as well.
That is: Original File -> Wave Parser -> ffdshow -> wav dest -> file writer (.ac3)
All the other stuff it talks about is unimportant. You can TRY using ac3filter in place off ffdshow, which is what I was doing before. It might be a problem particular to my PC and the current version or it might not be.

It should be mentioned the Weinstein Company is NOT part of Disney. The Weinsteins left Miramax and Disney. Looks like they took Thief and the Cobbler with them.

I would also assume you need to do something with cookies or something, otherwise I don't know how they'd associate your transfers with your account.

Like I said, there's a good chance this won't make it to DVD so a preservation project isn't completely crazy.

Australia shipping 2-ways might be more expensive than a cheap PAL VCR.

I was going to use a NTSC sourced tape but the master was likely 25 frame PAL. To make matters worse the U.S. version is significantly shorter than the U.K. release.
So what I'd like to do is pick up a PAL copy on ebay if I can find someone to do the capture for me. The tapes are cheap, but I can't see spending the money for a PAL VCR for a single use.
Anyone (preferably U.S. for shipping cost reasons) able to accomodate?

Any particular wishes?
World peace?
Just those couple of lines changes, then we'll see but I'm very happy with the proofs.
