Topic: The Vaultbreakers Collection - Disney Preservations

OK, I'm working on this. All of this stuff is sourced from OOP materials, and right now it looks like I'll be able to preserve the OTVs (more or less) of 4 movies:

The Little Mermaid (1989)
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Aladdin (1992)
The Lion King (1994)

Easy enough to preserve the first one as the OTV actually made it to DVD before Disney decided to pull out the hatchet. The others only made it in partially reanimated and remixed form.

For the last 3, the best source I have is VHS. Good VHS, but still VHS and FS, so if anyone has LD and can rip these - it would be a great help. (Also, if anyone can give me a direct, un-tinkered-with, PAL VHS2DVD or something of Song of the South... Every rip I've seen so far on the Internet feels like a noob job.) I like to know where my video comes from. I have a "WS LD Rip" of Aladdin that looks suspiciously like a FS VHS rip, and is 560x336. Yeugh. My friend's VHS2DVD looks better.

So... Aladdin. OTV never even got as far as VHS, so what am I going to do? I'm going to take the audio and run it through Audacity, cross-fading in the proper version of "Arabian Nights", and that makes for the original mix, right? (This ain't going to be vaporware, and I'll prolly have it ready in some form THIS week.)

Also - been thinking of making special CG-animated bumpers but I don't really have the tools or knowhow :/

It's a rare and dying breed of ISP that provides usenet access in the package... (Mine did. YMMV)

Other than that, I think they're all pay, or read-only and text-only.

I must be lucky then, as I'm on DSL too (as is my tracker, which is hosted on my home PC).

Well, then, when you're ready to do that, you'll obviously want the best source and no AVI will cut muster.

Exactly as would be expected. Window's a tad small, but that's because I'm viewing it on a 17" screen at 1024x768. Picture is razor-sharp. Haven't checked for pixellation but I haven't seen any - I suppose though the Death Star battle would be the place to find it, if there is any.

Doing the same thing (unrar x -kb, if you use command-line unrar as I do)

MPlayer says the file has an AR of 1.25:1, don't ask, but giving it the -noaspect switch helps.

I suppose I'm keeping up pretty well then.

So 86 down, 42 to go...

I'm about to have a damn coronary here!

Using binsearch to locate, using my isp's newsfeed to m00ch, and sucking down the files as fast as I can...

If I can manage to slurp the AVI off ABSW, I'll see what I can do about a torrent...this all depends on how reliable my usenet feed is for binaries, as I've never used it for that...

I figure, if I can use Verizon's newsfeed to get it, why pay? (I already pay out the neck for my access)

Hm, I got messages back to 2 weeks ago from ABSW, but the only usenet tool I've got is... Pine :/

Anyone know any good tools for handling the binary usenet here on Linux so I can start sucking down the filez when they go up? xD

Not as rare as I'd like. :/

A lot of anime seems to be telecined when converted to 25 fps. and I have yet to find a reliable way to undo the damage.

Star Wars is 23.976 fps natively.

I have the means to easily do the correction though I would need a source first (Audacity will do it just fine).
