Apparently, my DVD decoder is fried.

I'm gonna have to reinstall the operating system, destroying all data.

A.K.A. I'll have to re-download the torrents!

It'll take a sweet while, but I only had ANH hope done so far anyway.

At least those pesky vertical lines will be gone.

First of all, thank you for wanting to seed ROTJ.

I use Torrentstorm as my torrent downloader client. In it, I just open the torrent file in it. If it is completed, it automatically seeds it.

For bittorrent, I'm not sure how. I would try opening the torrent file in whatever client you used, and if it's completed it should automatically start seeding it.

Thank you for wanting to seed ROTJ, as it is loading the slowest of the three on my computer at a pathetic 2 KB/s.

EDIT: Ironically enough, I was the one who posted the link to torrentbox at the officail site.

Is it possible for the average folk like me to burn Star Wars onto a blank DVD, when I only have a CD burner?

And do the whole movie on one disc?

Can I do that?

These torrents are like a dream come true.

Minus the scan lines I'm experiencing (which is my computer's fault, not the torrent's) these are excellent.

I shed a tear of joy, exactly like when the LDs were delivered to my home.

But how do I turn off these gosh-forsaken scan lines??!!!!

Do I need to buy blank DVDs to do this?

or can I use blank CDs?

If these scan lines appear when I don't maximize the image, then the image is just too small to reveal them.

FYI

Perhaps they're scan lines put in by the software to cut the rendered lines in half for slower computers. If they are you can most likely turn them off. If not, try a different DVD playing software.

How do I turn them off?

I just finished downloading A New Hope torrent file. (Finally!!!!)

The quality is LD quality, but don't try to maximize it to the size of your monitor or you'll be sorely dissapointed.

If you don't mind a half-monitor sized movie running (or full size with not so great quality) then go for it.

I (unlike SOME people) and still SEEDING the file.

Please, people that have the file, SEED IT!!!

EDIT: I'm sorry, the quality is just fine. It's my computer!

You see, whenever I play a DVD on my PC, there are vertical lines of sorts covering the screen.
I thought it was the lens or something. But if it does it for a file I downloaded (!), it musn't be then.
These lines look like "missing information", even though the information is already there. Left to right of these lines looks like a slight 'jump' in the image. And these lines are stationary; they don't move.
Can anybody help me??

Well, the ball is finally rolling.

Who here actually *has* the torrent files saved on their computer?

Can somebody please upload them to a p2p file sharing system?
It'll gonna take litterally a month to get one film at the rate they're going on my computer!

Oh man, the Echoes sync is the coolest!

That is actually how I got hooked on Pink Floyd.

The Wizard of Oz thing is truley amazing. Such coincidences! It's scary!

The scariest part of all is when they skip to the beat of 'Time' on the second play through!

If it's true, will they have enough time to complete them all before ep3?

I mean, twenty episodes?

That 'Lucas voice' wouldn't be too unbelievable if someone claimed it was in PAL format.

That's where they speed things up.

If it *were* true (which it's not), I'd be very afraid.

Can somebody who has the torrent files please put it in their shared folder for a P2P program?

Otherwise it will be literally impossible for me to get them.

Not mainly the CD player, but the stereo.

We've gone through several CD players. The excellent one we use it the size of my laserdisc player almost.

I couldn't even begin to describe what he's done with his stereo. It's wonderful.

Maybe not on your sound system, but it sure does on mine.

See, my dad has modified this stereo setup since he got out of high school.
His life work is in this stereo.

I could tell a difference there.

So I tried just doing on my old crappy CD player, and it sounded the same.

So it depends on your setup.

^^^Good to hear.

I would recommend either Laserdiscs from Ebay, or (if you don't mind illegal stuff) one of the bootleg DVDs which were mastered from the DVDs anyway.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Preferably Limewire?

http://www.limewire.com If anyone who has the torrents could do this, it'd save me about four monthts of NONSTOP downloading time to get these files.

Thank you thank you.

Have anyone here ever put the green marker stuff on their CDs/DVDs called "Cd Stop Light"?

I've found it to greatly improve the quality of CDs, especially on my dad's stereo.

Would you say this would be a wise thing to do with laserdiscs as well?

I'm a bit leery about it.
