I can't see any recently deleted threads, and I don't believe that Jay or Zion would delete something without giving you a reason.

What's the difference between the TV version and the DVD? Is the only change the addition of the Part 2 promo and Part 1 recap, or are there other scenes which have been edited?

EDIT - Just noticed this thread was from 2005 - it looks like suntech bumped it by accident, and I thought it was recent. D'oh!

In the huffyuv options, try checking the box that says "Always suggest RGB format for output".

Official Dolby-licensed encoders don't come cheap. Sony sell AC3 encoders as plug-ins for their audio/video suite (Vegas, Sound Forge, Acid Pro). There's also an audio transcoder included with Scenarist.

Aften is a free alternative.

Is this just a warning before you export, or does the export fail and give this error?
Do you have write access to the drive?

Is this just a Vegas problem, or does the AVI show up garbled in VirtualDub too?

Thanks for making the effort to contribute. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Calvert and Miramax versions have had official retail releases. Therefore, this is a Custom DVD and you should not discuss the distribution of this disc.

(I'm assuming you didn't author this disc using seamless branching, and all 5 versions are separate and just heavily compressed.)

Maybe not as mainstream as Star Wars, but I've found an even worse release:
Condorman R2
Non-anamorphic letterboxed widescreen, grainy transfer - same as the GOUT DVDs. However, this release has static menus (GOUT DVDs are animated) and is on a DVD5 - in fact, the entire DVD is sized at just 3.82GB. Really disappointing.

Open VirtualDub, go to Video -> Compression. In the codec list what does it say for huffyuv? (Mine is listed as Huffyuv v2.1.1 - CCESP Patch v0.2.5)

I have the R2 Hong Kong Legends DVD from the UK, which apparently is the international cut and has two extra scenes included (but does not include the original English dub). According to this, one addition may have been the van washing scene. What was the other one?

I've seen that type of corruption before, I think it's a bug in huffyuv. Remind me again, did you install the CCE-patch version?

Most of the time you can't record from a turntable directly onto the PC, because the output needs to be amplified/equalised from "phono" to the "line-level" input to your sound card. Older hi-fi amps, and DJ mixers, will have a phono input and can output a linear signal.

And I believe newer turntables include built-in amplifiers to produce line-level outputs.

Try this:

- Go into a project edit form.
- Add another category to the project.
- Click the "remove" link for the original category.

The stylesheet is missing from the next page.

Topic: NTSC to PAL

Time: 18-Jun-2007 5:13 AM

What's the framerate of the original material - NTSC-film (23.976fps) or NTSC (29.97fps)?

The former is easily converted to PAL - resize to 720x576, encode at 25fps and speed up the audio by 25/23.976 = 1.0427. AviSynth is ideal for this kind of processing, but if you're not inclined to make friends with it at this stage then VirtualDubMod or VirtualDub-MPEG2 should be able to do the same thing.

Converting interlaced 29.97fps NTSC into 25fps PAL is a more complex subject - there are several different approaches, quality varies.

The Technical Discussions forum is for requesting help with technical issues, so I've moved your post into this forum instead. For future reference, these types of request are usually posted in the Fan Edit Request Thread. You could also post your ideas at fanedits.com as a concept and maybe someone will take it up as a project.

I also hope these kind of requests are okay, since we're at a Star Wars site. I don't want to step on anyone's toes, being a newbie and all.

We're no longer just a Star Wars site. I think you'll find quite a few Halloween fans here.

I've added all your releases to fanedits.com. My v1 PAL DVD is corrupt, but I still have the v2 and v3 Xvids on my hard drive so I was able to add in full specs for these files. You or anyone else are welcome to edit and update the entries.

It's possible to enter an invalid Project Release Date (e.g. February 31), and this causes a system error.
