A Question About Torrents
Time
Get Nero and you should be good to go. I don't think you can do it with roxio. I'm not possitive. Here is a link to a guide on burning DVD files with Nero.

I also found this for Roxio but I have no clue as to what version you have.

Remember only you can prevent piracy. Don't use this info for evil or I'll be forced to kill you.

CD
Time
Has anyone here ever microwaved a CD? I've been having problems with my burner lately so it keeps spitting out coasters. Rather than breaking them and then spend the next two years finding CD parts I microwave them. Put then into the microwave (silver side up) and cook for 3 seconds.

When you get done with them it's like art and they all come out different. It is quite neat. A friend of mine told me about this and I must say it kicks a little ass.

OK that's the stupid microwave trick of the day.

Info: The Frighteners - Signature Collection laserdisc preservation thread
Time
The fact is we don't know. There isn't really any point wondering or debating about what will be on the official DVD. This was just announced yesterday so as ReverendBeastly said we might not be able to get our money back on this laserdisc now.

This isn't really a concern to me. My donation is going into the transfer fee and shipping. So I'm actually one of the people not getting money back on this disc. I'm still fine with this and ReverendBeastly asked me if I'd be cool with this before this project even started. No problem, however I know there are a few people who will be breaking even on this disc based on if this sells for the same price on eBay or not. That could get sketchy now that this DVD has been announced.

In the best interests of those people getting their investment back soon I just wanted to restate that any compression or DVD authoring work I can help with I would be glad to throw down. I know that ReverendBeastly has good people working on this but if I could help get this done faster I would be glad to help.

In the mean time I wish everyone involved with this project the best of luck in getting it completed. I know all to well how much a pain in the ass putting a DVD together can be.

Oh and don't forget to go and check out my squished laserdisc cover I made for this project.

We have wasted time and money. For shame

At least we will have the extras from the laserdisc. So that is totaly kick ass in my book. So I guess I'm happy both ways. Yeah me!!

I'll end up with a studio quality cut of the film and a great transfer of the bonus stuff.
