Taxi Driver commentary? (from the Criterion LD) (Released)
Time
Hey this is a very worthwhile project, glad to see it.

Here are a few ideas:

- I agree that if someone is going to create a full DVD of this disc, it should be the ripped Superbit with the commentary and isolated score muxed in - but please confirm that the DVD is NOT RE-ENCODED, but it will be the true original VOB stream. No point to using the Superbit if it's going to be re-encoded!

- I would also ask that someone post an MP3 of the commentary alone, so those of us that can/want to can just take that track and marry it to a DVD rip of our own.

Thanks a ton!

My H and V were already at 15, I have now switched to max quality.

However, don't those setting only affect the bits that get re-rendered?

Also, to preview my edits, I am using Womble to make a DVD - will the quality of this video be different if I export an mpeg movie? I like the ease of Womble's DVD maker, so even if I did use the export feature to make a file, I'd be reimporting it into Womble's DVD maker anyway to make the DVD files.

Another question: Do I *have* to demux my VOBs? I have been using Womble's two extra audio tracks, sometimes simultaneously, so having the main audio and video together on the first track is very useful.

I really enjoy the ease of editing in Womble, but this judder problem has me perplexed. I took my test DVD to a friend's house tonight, and it played without any motion problems, but after about 10 mins we noticed the audio slowly going out of sync...

How can the audio go out of sync when the VOB was never demuxed?? It's always been married to the video...

Ok, maybe I should have read some of this forum BEFORE I started my own fan edit, but I didn't :-( Now, after spending maybe 50 hours editing, I'm having a problem and I hope someone can help!

I ripped the DVD with SmartRipper as seperate VOBs and imported into Womble. I didn't rip as one massive VOB, I didn't demux first, so shame on me. I've done a ton of editing and added extra audio to both extra audio tracks. Play back in Womble is fine and I've had no sync issues.

When I make a DVD using the Womble DVD maker, as expected it only re-encodes the sections of video where I've added dissolves (so only a few bits).

Trouble is, when I playback on my DVD player, I get very studdery motion. This looks like incorrect 3:2 pulldown (or lack of), but when the next scene with an edit comes up, the playback gets smooth. It keeps jumping back and forth from smooth to choppy playback from scene to scene. If I play the DVD again, scenes that were choppy now play smooth and vice-versa.

Also, if I'm watching a scene with choppy playblack I hit pause and then play again, the playback becomes smooth! Every time.

What's doing on?? How can I fix it? I've spent so much time editing, I sure don't want to have to start over...

Info Wanted: Can anyone seed "Deleted Magic" for me?
Time

I’m really sorry for starting a thread just for this, but I didn’t see an active “Deleted Magic” thread.

I know I’m late to the party, but I just found out about this DVD and am dying to see it. I set up my first Torrent ever with MySpleen and I’ve been downloading for 24 hours but, at this rate, I still have 248 hours to go!

Can some folks out there please seed this for me?

Thanks!

PS: Same goes for “Building Empire”
