The original post says letterboxed, so I assume they're derived from the original NTSC boxset transfers (mono sound too).

I'm intrigued by the 90 minutes or so that must have been cut to arrive at that final run-time - bits and pieces here and there, or just Battle in its entirety?

The chronology is also something I'm curious about - if it's a 'real time' edit, it would start with Escape and end with Beneath, but that's not the only possible approach...

Fresh from the spring of eternal optimism…

The only DVD release of this absolute masterpiece is a quite early 4:3 NTSC transfer (issued in both R1 and R4).
Some reviewers would lead us to believe that this is an open-matte transfer, but the film was in fact shot 1.66:1 for a 1.85:1 presentation (as verified by this article), so it is quite definitely cropped.

WB have been fairly reluctant to give fans of this film any hope of an official revisit, which only leaves us with a letterboxed laserdisc, and (apparently) a recent HD broadcast, from which to derive some sort of OAR version.

Does anyone in this wonderful community have access to either of these superior sources? A preservation effort would be tremendously worthwhile where this terrific film is concerned, particularly in light of its mistreatment thus far by the studio.

Here’s hoping

Well, I managed to order a VHS copy on Marketplace for a not-entirely-offensive price, so once I've checked the quality I'll set about a transfer of some sort.

Doubt it's worth torrenting, but if anyone fancies a copy I can get some posted!

Ok, I'm seeding again for a while - go get it!

Thanks for the pointer on webspace Meedermow, but I checked my Bulldog account and discovered that my account includes a whopping 20MB of storage! So I'll stick to Yousendit etc. for the time being (which seems to work perfectly well).

So, anyone thinking of producing a disc label?

I had a spare moment and wanted to give Yousendit a try, so it's up there now.

I sent Klokwerk a copy direct (do you always have to send it to someone with Yousendit? Guess I could send it to myself if so...)

For anyone else who fancies a go, it's here.

It basically opens a clear channel from your software to the outside world - without it, the exchange of data gets a bit hit'n'miss and uploads/downloads slow to a crawl (or stop altogether).

I realise this might be a little outside the realm of this forum’s particular taste, but here goes anyway:

I’ve been hunting high and low for a viewable copy of The Music Lovers, the 1971 Tchaikovsky biopic. So far I have only found reference to a US laserdisc and a rental VHS, both of which sell for silly prices on Amazon/Ebay.

No-one appears to have released any kind of fan release either, going by my searches (is this even the sort of film that has fans…? ) so I just thought I’d check here to see if anyone has it buried in their library, and might be prepared to resurrect it for a combined preservation effort? It would certainly seem that there’s a healthy demand for it (£40 for a VHS? Jeesh…)

Thanks for any input.

Of course there might be others who fancy having a go - I don't have any webspace of my own, but do image hosting sites tend to have a file size limit? Or should I opt for one of those yousendit type of deals? Apologies for the newbie questions, this is just one aspect of net use I've never really got involved in (other than downloading, naturally!)

True, but I believe you have to import extra material to fill the gaps that you create - Womble seems to do this automatically.

Be my guest (I won't be at my home PC for a few hours yet...)

BTW, I tried zipping it myself to send to you, but it barely shaved off 50kb... thought I might as well send the JPEG in case your antivirus software weeded out Zips.

Both of your interpretations look great - how well does the scan stand up to being stretched over the whole cover?

Going in a slightly different direction, I always liked the CD cover:

Could do a hi-res scan if you think you could use it (the actual cover doesn't have the text banner).

What kind of router is it? Are the network options in uTorrent the same as those that Azureus used to give you? (afraid I can't advise from experience as I use Bitlord!)

Worth setting it up from scratch with a different port? Or do you have other apps that rely on you keeping the one you have?

PortForward.com should be able to help you out with configuring your router for your Bittorrent client - as long as you make a note of the current settings, you can't do any irreversible damage!

Aw shucks...

I concur with Meedermow - even with the rudimentary editing Encore v2 gives you, it's no match for Womble's flexibility when you're doing this sort of thing (and v2 is still pretty buggy).
Get the free 30 day trial - it should last long enough to get this job done at least!

Seeding here too (though might take a quick break to burn a disc!)

A cover would be great, Cassius - are you basing it on the official release or coming up with something better?

Ok, which version are you using, and what's your source material?

You don't have much control over the audio/video linking in versions 1/1.5, but version 2 has some timeline editing facilities which should help out.
