Just found this...

Universal finally got around to at least putting out the longer cut; the long-ass making of is nowhere to be seen, however Still, it's a great movie and we finally get to see it in pristine DVD quality That's never a bad thing!

That is from www.dreadcentral.com so I'm still thinking the US version of this is sans making of...

Perhaps a DVD of just the bonus stuff is in order at this point. I wouldn't sell just yet, we still might have something for those of us without region free DVD players.

Is this official that the whole thing is there? I have been looking online and I have yet to find a good link to a review that covers the extras of this disc. Anyone have the link?

Hey ReverendBeastly,
Sense my contribution to this project was a no money back donation can I at least get those other disc we discussed sent out. Drop me a PM...

There is an app call 'mAC3dec' Takes any .ac3 file and rip it into its sepreate parts. It works great and is a free app also.

Head on over to http://homepage.mac.com/major4/ and download a copy of ffmpegX. It is a great converter that will convert just about anything. It is a free download but for 14 bux you can buy it and get rid of the try window that pops up when you use it. I just bought it because it's such a great utility for my mac. Take your .VOB or what have you and if you convert it to a .dv file it will open up just fine in Final Cut Pro.

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know where to get a decent free keylogger that happens to be invisible? I had one on my computer to track changes I make to various things but I had to reformat my Hard Drive and I lost the install file for it. Now I can't find another good freeware keylogger.

And no I'm not spying on anyone. I'm the only one who uses my computer.

Thanks in advance.

The real key to any project is to not tell anyone you are doing it. That way when it finally gets done everyone is like, "Damn, when did you find the time to do this?"

ReverendBeastly you can ignore that PM I just sent you. I'll hold out till this project is done because I just found this.

We might not get the four hour documentary after all but a truncated version of it.

KEEP THE PROJECT GOING!

I pay for all the software I have on my computer.

All in all I feel your attitude toward stealing software is pretty poor. Stealing software is illegal! You will go to jail if you get caught. Get caught with enough illegal software and you will go to prision.

Lets keep that type of talk off these boards.

I almost forgot to mention this one.

Get yourself a copy of "A Christmas Carol" (TV Version) by Stephen Warbeck. I know it sounds crazy but that soundtrack is awesome to edit to. Go check out amazon.com and see if you can play some samples (you might not be able to). I use that soundtrack more than anything when I am editing a temp track together. I think it might be right up your alley for this particular project.

A really good score you might want to look into is the one done for "Needful Things" by Patrick Doyle. It is a really good soundtrack to a movie that I thought didn't get the credit it deserved.

For just strange music from a film you might want to look into the score to "Hellbound:Hellraiser II" and "House of a 1,000 Corpses." When I'm editing I temp stuff to those two soundtracks ALL the time.

Let us know what you used.

I heard that the only reason that the Dune DVD was held back was because David Lynch was going to be involved with the DVD in some sort of re edit of the movie.

I read it on "The Digital Bits" some time ago. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Generally I like to use DVD Studio Pro for authoring. But when it comes to making the menus it's a combination of After Effects, Photoshop, Final Cut, and Protools. I then compress that with Compressor and turn the audio into AC3 using APack.

I work on a Mac though and I know a lot of people around these parts don't.

I have to go with bad_karma24 on this. The DC is very cool. I still don't like the movie and I still thing the original should be out there but in many cases it's a little better than the original. As for the R rating it was because the ratings were different back then. He didn't add enough to make it an R but the stuff that was in there was enough to warrant an R rating by today’s standards. The original version was rated PG and it has the love/sex scene in it. So there really isn't anything more violent or sexual in this movie that wasn't in the original.
