I asked about doing this on videohelp.com months ago.
Thanks for the script.Will have to do some trials with some video clips just to see how well it works.

It is no longer on ILT and hasn't been for a while.
Too old for usenet also.

Maybe if in a couple weeks it isn't up I will see about torrenting it.

Throw it in TMPGEnc DVD Author
Just about as easy as it gets really.
If tboy27 uses that software, he can dummy the DVD but save the template he has made, then send that to you and you can throw that file in Program Files\Pegasys Inc\TSUNAMI-MPEG DVD Author PRO\Template folder.
Start up TDA and load the DVD folder you have then when you select a menu, select the one you just put into the Program files folder and your done.
You just have to let each other know what th structure will be like how many chapters, and if there will be other video files added.
Could be a lot easier than snail mail and all that.

This is of course if both of you use TDA

I have always used 3240x2175 for my covers and never had any issues.Fact I believe most ( the better ) cover sites only allow that size.
A printer that does borderless printing is also a plus.I have the Epson R300
I also bought a CIS for my R300 ( which turned out to be shit) but the little bottle it came with was a keeper to replace the 'pad'

If anyone wants to try the size I use:

The guy that was selling HTD for $85 posted on DVDTalk and was banned.
Seems he is going to sites of the like putting his link.
DVDTalk members also reported him to eBay.Lets hope they remove the guys account now and not just his auctions.

Good to know that eBay is actually listening.Not long ago it was hard to get them to remove items and sellers.

I tried like ReverendBeastly and got the same deal.It wont let me.
That sorta sucks because users might need to be warned about issues such as this and eBay wont let you.

I would just tell him to contact me for a free DVD and maybe this thread.
The torrents for the DVD9 is, WAS, on myspleen but yes, it is down.The DVD5 is on Bitsoup but not sure it is from Dark_Jedi

This looks like it could be a good edit.

Would you be bale to use a hi-res image of this?
I say this because maybe you can print it and then scan it at a high DPI like 600 so you can clean it up and then use something like Adobe Premier or something to create an avi of an image set?

Reporting to eBay is not as easy as it should be.
What you need to do is find the auction and copy the auction number that is at the right.Should read Item number: xxxxxxxxxxxx
Dickboys auction is Item number: 320088129144
So you take that number and then click HELP at the left.Then click on CONTACT US.The you will see steps to follow.
Select the first option Listing Violations then click continue.
Now select Counterfeits and copyright violations, Bootlegs and counterfeit media, and finally Copies of unreleased movies, television programs, music, etc
Click continue and click the link given.Then click on Replica, Counterfeit Items and Unauthorized Copies
Now click Report unauthorized copies of media link.Once you do that you are FINALLY to the area you can paste in the item number you copied from the auction.

I believe there are too many damn steps to reporting this sorta stuff and should be a report button on item pages.But what can you do.

NOTE*
You MUST be logged into eBay in order to do this.

If nobody has contacted magnolia-fan then I will and will offer him a free copy.
Will let him know he wont get a bad mark from a bootlegger because he wont be able to tell eBay that he wont pay for his bootleg

This seller has both HTD and Monster Squad HD2DVD ..... but not for long hehe

He sounds a bit worried....He will find his auction removed soon anyway.
I'll keep reporting these asshats every time I see them.
Whats even better is his account will be removed as well

Well it might be easier soon if SVCD2DVD author gets out his new version with H.264 support.
I had asked him why his free app, HDTV2DVD didn't take my HTD .TS and he said it didn't support H.264 but the newer version of SVCD2DVD would.So at least there is hope there.
A sad truth though is that several channels are going to adopt the 1080p H.264 format.

The cover for Howard on eBay is one that has been around for some time now.
It's the 'Special Edition Widescreen' that says it has all sorts of extras on it and with THX remastering.

dark_jedi,
If you mean your DVD, I love it.You did what I tried and that was convert an HD H.264 PAL into a NTSC DVD
I was pulling hair and soon waited for someone like you to do it.I spent about a week trying it and while I did get a DVD structure, it was very jittery and I wasn't about to release something like that.

No hard feelings

Perhaps my comment made me look like I was king shit of menu observer and creation.For sure I am not.
I only know these fan edits are done with pride and careful thinking.Design is always a plus and I personally look at DVDs as collections and ones like this are high on my list.
Cover art, dis art, menu setup, all something I personally like.Maybe it's the graphics designer in me ?

Bahax, I was being sarcastic

What does money have to do with anything and why the harsh attack man?
I only made a suggestion for crying out loud.

As for the eBay deal, I just reported about 7 sellers of HD to DVD encodes.Few Howard, few Rad, couple Monster ..... see what happens.

Ok, I'll bite...Sorry for the threadcap...
I made my own DVD from a TV series.Sure you can see what TV series that is.

Animated as well as sound.Image is of main and there are no chapters.Episodes are small and no need IMO for chapters.

Has anyone contacted eBay as well to report these sellers?
I have seen The Monster Squad, Rad, Howard The Duck, and a few other yet to be released to DVD, High Definition encodes to DVD on there.
Really sucks that people take the time to do the work, then some ass goes and downloads for free and then sells it.

I report these scum to eBay all the time.I got mad one time because I saw my actual custom cover go long with an edit and the seller had the nerve to say HE made it!!

I thought this was pretty well done.
I have done my share of HD2DVD but all have been done with HDTV2DVD or SUPER to VOB and then into TDA
I am much better at menu creation let me tell you HAHA

I tried making this DVD and I can say it is a pain in the rear seeing that the source is H.264 PAL
So a huge thanks to Dark Jedi for taking on the task of doing this.

If I may get in one opinion though.The menu.All is great but the chapter layout with the highlighting.....not so 'Special Edition' looking.
Please don't get me wrong and seeing as I wasn't able to encode this, it's just something to consider when making the menu section in your new version.
