Select Video->compression, XviD. Set options as required.

Save as XviD AVI.

This preservation community on this forum relates to films that are not yet (or never will be) available on DVD.

The Blade Runner game is not a film.

Distributing an old computer game is not preservation.

(To illustrate this: suppose there was an arcade game of Blade Runner. If you were to dump the ROM code then write a driver so that the game could run in MAME, then that would be preservation.)

(The PC game can still be played on current hardware - so it doesn't need preserving.)

This thread is in dodgy territory.

If there is an official DVD available, then you are expected to purchase it and use your region-free PAL-compatible player to watch it.

What you basically have is a copy of the uncut version, in NTSC format with DTS soundtrack, with custom English subs added?

So what? It's still illegal to distribute, and it doesn't fall within the scope of activities that we support on this site.

This will help.

DAYV - I believe you're thinking of framerate, not bitrate.

What are the notable differences between the original and the '85 remix?

And, if the '85 mix is closest to the original Dolby Stereo, how close is the '93 mix to the original 70mm 6-track mix?

Many people have said that the '93 mix is simply a downmix of the 6-track, although as stated above this contradicts what the DC production notes say.

Yes it is Dolby Surround encoded. However, PCM is not Dolby Digital (it has not been compressed with the AC3 codec).

For more information, see http://www.dolby.com/assets/pdf/tech_library/78_dvd-tm-s.pdf.

Did you make the "Dolby PCM Digital Surround" logo yourself?

To me, it would make more sense to use two separate logos - one for Dolby Surround (not Dolby Digital):

and one for PCM, eg:

What the story with this?

From what I can see, there is an incorrectly-constructed control message in alt.config from someone calling themselves "be". (The message includes a copy of the originaltrilogy.com forum rules!)

(FWIW, I would suggest that alt.binaries.movies.fan-edits or alt.binaries.multimedia.fan-edits would be a more appropriate group name, but anyway...)

Now however, there does seem to be a control message archived on isc.org's ftp server. But the details don't look correct at all:

Interesting link.

One of the most famous Scanimate-generated film sequences was a brief false-color image of the "Death Star" emerging from behind a planet in the first Star Wars film.

If you wanted to be pedantic, you could point out that is the Yavin moon, not the Death Star.

Zion and I corrected a couple of example frames to show what can be achieved, you can see them at the end of this thread.

My set does have its flaws, but I specifically wanted to concentrate more on sound quality than video quality, because that is what makes Star Wars great, and also because no other transfer has PCM audio. Something came up a few weeks ago, maybe you could confirm:
the PCM audio on your V1 was apparently recorded from the LD player's analogue output, and there are some reports of digital clipping caused by the input level being too high. Was V2 also recorded over analogue, or is it resampled from a digitally extracted clone of the laserdisc PCM?

Hopefully, once the X0 project is complete, it will put this thread to rest as I'm sure it will be the new standard, and there will be no further disputes as to which is best.

I doubt it, somehow...

Imagine what you could do by taking a colour/gamma corrected DVD, and using the X0 transfer (to fix the SE elements), and one of the DVB captures (to fix certain DVD defects). One day, maybe...

You have both Quicktime and Realplayer installed? *shudders*

I'd recommend you nuke both of those and install a non-proprietary, non-commercial, open source alternative - XviD.

Regarding aspect ratios, that's something that is not particularly well-supported in computer based formats at the moment. You're best off resizing to achieve a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio before encoding.

I've just noticed something at binsearch.info - if you include the filename in quotes in the subject (as is the default for most posting apps I know of) then it identifies the NFO file and will allow you to view it from the site. If you look further down, Grinder's and Starkiller's posts appear in this format.

segaflip doesn't do this at the moment - hopefully if he sees this he will change the format of his headers in the future.

Anyway, back on topic - Jambe's disc is excellent. This is the sort of release that makes me proud to be associated with this site.
